JAMES  HOWARD  HARRIS:  A  MEMO- 
RIAL ADDRESS  DELIVERED  BY  PRO- 
FESSOR TIMOTHY  O.  HEATWOLE 
DEC.  15,  J9J0. 

Our  friend  has  crossed  the  (Jreat  Divide.  His 
work  with  us  has  ended.  All  that  was  mortal 
vanishes  from  our  sight.  The  curtain  has 
fallen,  the  act  has  been  concluded.  He,  whom 
we  loved,  has  gone  to  meet  his  Maker.  Let  us  be 
silent  for  a  time,  reflecting  on  the  inscrutability 
and  mysteries  of  the  change. 

In  the  passing  of  a  "-strong  character  there 
stand  out  boldly  special  traits  which  cannot  be 
lost.  The  impress  of  influence  given  out  by  a 
noble  life,  like  material  substance,  is  indestruct- 
ible, and  memory  like  a  zephyr  of  sweet  ptr- 
fume,  lingers  to  lighten  the  saddened  heart 
after  grief  spent  its  withering  effect.  Contact 
with  men  of  high  ideals,  correct  habits,  honest 
purpose  and  courageous  spirit  is  a  blessing  best 
appreciated  at  the  time  when  such  connections 
are  suddenly  severed.  We  do  well,  therefore,  to 
halt  in  our  course  for  the  purpose  of  reviewing 
the  life  and  work  of  our  beloved,  deceased  in- 
structor. 

Professor  James  Howard  Harris  was  born  Oc- 
tober 23,  1834,  in  Albemarle  County,  Va.  His 
boyhood  days  were  spent  on  the  farm.  Owing 
to  a  physical  affliction,  which  he  carried  to  his 
grave,  and  his  recognized  mechanical  turn  of 
mind,  he  was  advised  to  take  up  the  study  of 
dentistry.  With  this  purpose  in  view,  he  en- 
tered the  Baltimore  College  of  Dental  Surgery, 
graduating  therefrom  in  1861. 

His  early  professional  life  was  interrupted  by 
the  sectional  conflict  known  as  the  Civil  War,  in 
which  he  allied  himself  with  the  Southern  Con- 
federacy. His  physical  disability  disqualified 
him  for  field  service  and  he  was  a-signed  to  the 
post  of  Assistant  Sargeon.       Service  in  this  ca- 


pacity gave  him  a  vast  experience  in  the  admini- 
tration  of  anaesthetics,  and  especially  chloro- 
form, to  which  agent  he  remained  partial  to  the 
end  of  his  career. 

After  the  surrender  Professor  Harris  again  re- 
sumed the  practice  of  his  chosen  profession  in 
the  town  of  Harrisonburg,  Va.  In  a  short  while 
his  reputation  as  an  operator  spread,  and  a  call 
from  his  Alma  Mater  to  take  the  position  of 
Clinical  Demonstrator,  in  1871,  was  accepted. 
It  was  while  thus  employed  that  he  took  up  the 
study  of  medicine,  receiving  the  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Medicine  from  the  College  of  Physicians  and 
Surgeons  of  this  city.  In  1872  he  was  elected 
to  tlie  Chair  of  Operative  and  Clinical  Dentistry, 
continuing  in  this  capacity  until  1SS2,  at  which 
time,  together  with  Professor  Gorgas,  he  with- 
drew from  the  faculty  of  that  institution  for  the 
purpose  of  establishing  the  Dental  Department  of 
the  University  of  Maryland. 

At  the  time  he  severed  his  connection  with  his 
Alma  Mater,  the  student  body  of  that  institu- 
tion presented  him  with  a  beautiful  gold  medal, 
on  which  were  incribed  sentiments  of  the  highest 
appreciation  of  his  work  and  worth  as  a  teacher. 
This  medal  he  always  wore  and  prized  most 
highly,  though  none  but  his  most  intimate 
friends  ever  knew  its  source  nor  suspected  the 
value  he  set  on  it. 

During  his  early  connection  with  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland  Professor  Harris  taught  at  the 
Chair  only,  his  natural  modesty  apparently 
being  in  the  way  of  teaching  by  didactic  lectures. 
Later  in  life,  however,  he  supplemented  his  clini- 
cal work  by  a  course  of  lectures,  thereby  demon- 
strating a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  whole 
scope  of  dentistry  and  exhibiting  uniqueness  of 
expression  along  with  a  wonderful  flow  of  lan- 
guage. 

Dr.  Harris  believed  in  sound  principles  and 
could  not  tolerate  methods  which  in  his  opinion 


OLD  MARYLAND. 


failed  to  prjniisa  substantial  results.  What  he 
a  Ivocated  was  strongly  supported,  there  being  no 
equivocation  or  quibbling  on  the  point.  His 
reasoning  w;is  unique  and  the  sliglitest  detail 
was  taken  into  account  in  the  summing  up  of 
his  conclusions. 

He  read  extensively,  especially  of  the  literature 
of  the  profession,  and  while  he  wrote  little  him- 
self, criticized. freely  the  work  of  others  who  in- 
dulged themselves  in  this  way. 

His  loyalty  to  a  friend,  as  well  as  his  loyally 
to  his  native  State,  was  remarkable.  The  devotion 
he  bestowed  on  those  he  loved  wasstrong,  deep  and 
genuine.  His  faculty  to  bind  students  to  him 
throughout  his  long  career  as  teacher  marked 
him  as  lieing  a  man  of  wonderfully  magnetic 
power.  His  dignified  bearing  in  the  presence  of 
a  group  of  students  and  the  eagerness  of  the  lat- 
ter to  get  within  his  presence  tells  the  story  of  a 
genuine  mutuality.  He  never  lacked  an  audi- 
ence, whether  retiring  from  tlic  lecture  room  or 
paying  a  friendly  visit  to  the  infirmarj'. 

College  work  was  an  inspiration  to  both  him- 
self and  students.  His  ridicule  was  keen  and 
his  sarcasm  biting,  yet  none  avoided  liim  on 
that  account,  preferring  to  withstand  this  rather 
than  miss  the  influence  of  contact  with  this  re- 
markable character.  College  work  liecame  one  of 
his  hobbies,  acting  as  a  tonic  in  later  years  to 
his  debilitated  system. 

Professor  Harris  stood  at  the  v^vy  top  of  his 
profession  in  the  manipulation  of  non-cohesive 
gold  foil.  The  average  man  could  do  no  more 
than  marvel  at  his  skill  in  handling  this  pro- 
duct. 

His  nature  was  peculiarly  sensitive,  resenting 
a  wrong  righteously,  but  ever  rea<ly  and  willing 
to  forgive  when  proper  amends  were  i^roffered. 

Few  who  knew  him  only  as  the  teacher 
would  suspect  that  he  liad  any  music  in  his  soul, 
and  yet  he  was  passionately  fond  of  the  violin, 
and  performed  well  on  this  instrument  during 
his  earlier  life. 

He  was  charmingly  hospitable.  None  entered 
his  home  but  to  receive  cordial  greeting  and  none 
were  made  more  welcome  than  students  who 
found  time  to  pay  him  a  visit.

Professor  H.irris'  life,  morally,  was  absolutely 
clean,  always  above  reproach,  well  grounded  in 
reli-ious  doctrine  anil  because  of  these  virtues, 
he  has  always  lieen  a  moral  factor  in  institutional 
life.  Prior  to  his  declining  years,  I  have  known 
him  to  frequently  mike  engagements  with  indi- 
vidual students  to  attend  church  on  Sunday. 
From  a  letter,  which  I  had  the  good  fortune  to 
read  several  years  as'o,  written  by  a  professional 
comrade  and  veteran  in  a  distant  city,  I  became 
doubly  assiired  of  the  individual  responsibility 
Dr.  Harris  felt  resting  upon  him  as  a  teacher. 
He  was  a  great  moralizer,  and  seldom  allowed 
an  opportunity  to  pass  without  urging  the 
importance  of  clean  living,  both  in  student 
and  professional  life.  The  thousands  who  can.e 
under  his  influence  as  teacher  can  well  testify  to 
this.  And  who  can  estimate  the  value  of  his 
words  of  advice  in  this  direction? 

Professor  Harris  was  an  indefatigable  worker. 
Pic  regarded  work  as  being  ennobling.  His 
measure  of  work,  ho\vever,  was  based  on  results 
attained.  The  drone  and  inelficient  man  found 
no  favor  with  him.  He  also  lU'geJ  the  necessity 
for  recreation  and  relaxation  from  professional 
duties,  and  this  he  exemplified  in  his  annual 
trips  to  his  old  home,  accompanied  by  Ids  fam- 
ily, where  he  found  much  pleasure  in  com- 
mingling with  former  associates  and  making  ex- 
cursions into  the  country,  accompanied  by  his 
horse,  dog  and  gun,  in  quest  of  game.  Failing 
health  interfered  somewhat  in  late  j'ears  with 
these  pleasures,  but  he  always  looked  forward  to 
the  coming  of  the  sunmier,  when  he  might  pos- 
sibly repeat  past  experiences. 

Tlie  place  of  Professor  .James  Howard  Plarris  in 
life  is  now  v^acant.  Was  this  life  and  its  work  a 
failure?  No.  Will  his  influence  in  life  be  lost  by 
his  going  into  the  Great  Beyond?  No.  The  tell- 
ing manner  in  which  he  approached  everything 
rmdertaken  assures  dissemination  of  the  prin- 
ci[)les  for  which  he  stood  in  so  far  as  those  who 
came  under  his  influence  are  able  to  catch  the 
inspiration  of  his  life.  His  face  and  presence 
will  be  missed  by  his  students  and  by  those  as- 
sociated with  him  as  instructors.  We,  of  the 
faculty,  join  with  you  as  students  in  mourning 
the  loss  of  a  friend,  a  genius  in  his  work,  a  man 
of  high  tone  and  ideals,  a  true  gentleman  and 
successful  teacher. 

Peace  be  to  his  ashes.

IN  MEMORY   OF   DR.  JAS.  H.  HARRIS. 

Introductory'to  regular  Lecture  to  Dental  Stu- 
dents, Dec.  16,  1910. 

By  J.  S.  Cteiser. 

Gentlemen  :^  We  greet  you  this  morning  with 
a  very  sad  heart  in  our  endeavor  to  faithfully 
discharge  the  duties  of  life  whose  scenes  are  con- 
stantly shifting. 

With  a  strange  commingling  of  joy  and  sor- 
row as  reasons  for  omitting  two  regular  lecture 
periods.  , 

The  coming  in  of  a  new  life  on  the  one  hand, 
and  the  going  ^out  of  a  beautiful  life  on  the 
other. 

As  a  prelude  to  our  subject  proper,  it  seems 
only  fitting  that  we  pause  for  a  few  minutes  in 
loving  remembrance  of  him,  whom  on  Wednesday 
morning  of  last  week  it  was  our  happy  privilege 
to'rnect'and  listen  (o  his  cheering  words,  with 
anticipation  of  many  more  valued  messages 
from  this  most  worthy,  devoted,  magnetic, 
practical, Oielpful  and  eminent  teacher,  our  be- 
loved Prof.  Dr.  James  H.  Harris;  but  within 
five  days  all  this  was  changed,  the  death  angel 
called  and  claimed  him. 

NoVhere  and  at  iio  age  hath  any  one  exemp- 
tion from  this  silent  messenger. 
■  At  last  every  one  of  us  must  fall  asleep,  and 
there  will  be  no  glad  awakening  for  us  any  more 
at  the  early  dawn  and  we  shall  become  poor 
dust  and  ashes,  which  no  morning  can  revive 
and  no  sun  gladden  save  the  Son  of  Righteous- 
ness on  that  glorious  Resurrection  morn  when 
the  land  and  the  sea  shall  give  up  their  dead. 

Not  how  long,  but  how  well  we  have  wrought, 
is  life's  great  question. 

Would  to  God  that  the  mantle  of  knowledge 
of  this  great  instructor.  Dr.  Harris,  might  fall 
upon  the  remaining  and  succeeding  instructors 
of  this  Dental  Department  of  the  University  of 
Maryland  as  a  heritage  to  every  student  from 
this  present  session  down  thru  the  years  till  time 
shall  be  no  longer. 

"Oh  for  the  touch  of  a  vanished  hand, 
The  sound  of  a  voice  that  is  still." 

To  bear  all  the  ills  of  life  patiently,  to  continue 
to  love  men  notwithstanding  their  faults,  to  live

neither  ingloriously  nor  selfishly,  but  as  much 
for  others  as  for  ourselves,  to  do  well  the  work 
that  it  falls  to  us  to  do,  and  to  be  prepared  for 
death — these  are  the  duties  that  every  death  in- 
culcates, and  which  if  well  performed  will  enti- 
tle us  to  honorable  mention  and  loving  remem- 
brance as  with  this  beautiful  character,  in  whose 
honor  we  were  assembled  yesterday  morning,  and 
thus  participated  in  the  Memorial  tribute  so 
touchingly  and  fittingly  expressed  in  the  address 
of  the  assistant  oriacting  Dean,  Dr.  Heatwole. 

Dr.  Harris  is  gore,  but  his  memory jliveth: 
He  is  dead,  but  his  example  is  here. 
The  SAveetness  and  fragrance  it  giveth, 
Will  linger  for  many  a  year. 


JUDGE  BALDWIN'S  LECTURES  ON  PRI- 
VATE INTERNATIONAL  LAW. 

On  the  19th  and  20th  of  December,  Hon. 
Simeon  Eben  Baldwin,  LL.D.,  Professor  of  Am- 
erican Constitutional  and  Private  International 
Law,  in  the  Yale  Law  School,  Governor-elect  of 
Connecticut  and  former  Chief  Judge  of  the  Su- 
preme Court  of  the  same  State, 'delivered  two  lec- 
tures on  "International  Private  Law  in  the 
Twentieth  Century,"  before  the  faculty  and  stu- 
dents of  the  Law  School  and  distinguished  vis- 
itors. 

He  was  introduced  by  Dean  Henry  D.  Harlan, 
who  spoke  of  the  good  fortune  of  the  Law  School 
in  securing  as  a  lecturer  one  of  the  most  emi- 
nent jurists  in  the  country  and  one  who  had  won 
fame  in  more  than  one  field  of  endeavor,  as  a 
lawyer,  teacher,  jurist,  statesman.  When  Judge 
Baldwin  ascended  the"  rostrum  he  was  greeted 
with  much  applause. 

In  beginning  his  lecture,  he  said  that  the  sub- 
ject was  probably  a  dry  one,  but  that  it  was  one 
of  much  moment  and  importance  to  the  Ameri- 
can lawyer.  In  America,  he  said,  we  have  ex- 
ceptional opportunity  of  learning  and  develop- 
ing this  branch  of  the  law,  as  we  have  here 
forty-eight  different  States,  each  with  different 
laws,  commerce  and  travel  among  them  all 
being  unrestricted,  and  so  very  many  ques- 
tions arising  where  it  is  difficult  to  tell  which 
law  governs.     IMost  other  nations,    on  the  con-

traiy,  have  one  body  of  law  for  all  their  territory 
and  questions  of  this  kind  arise  only  iietwecn 
their  citizens  and  those  of  other  nations. 

He  said  that  of  the  two  terms  "International 
Private"  and  "Private  International,"  ho  pre- 
ferred the  former  and  there  was  not  in  strictness 
any  such  thing  as  "Private  International"  Law; 
that  "International  Law"  wa-  "public,"  gov- 
erning the  int'rcourse  and  relations  of  States  as 
such;  and  that  in  so  far  as  this  branch  of  law 
was  "International,"  it  was  as  "International 
Private"  Law,  the  application  of  Private  Law 
internabioually.  The  best  term,  said  he,  is 
"Conflict  of  Laws." 

Each  nation  has  its  rules  of  action,  its  laws,  and 
no  two  nations  or  States  have  the  same.  Each 
nation  applies  its  own  laws,  and  whenever  it  ap- 
plies the  law  of  another  State,  it  does  so  by  com- 
ity, and  by  giving  force  and  sanction  to  such 
law,  adopts  and  makes  it  so  far  part  of  its  own 
law.  He  took  up  the  beginning  of  International 
Law  and  traced  its  development,  saying  that  at 
first  there  was  little  intercourse  among  the  na- 
tions, mostly  a  state  of  war ;  but  that  as  civili- 
zation advanced  and  commerce  grew,  the  rela- 
tions of  States  became  friendlier,  and  they  gave 
more  consideration  to  the  rights  of  ciiizens  of 
either  in  the  other's  jurisdiction.  Public  Inter- 
national Law  developed  before  Private. 

Quoting  the  maxim,  that  "every  definition  is 
dangerous,"  he  said  he  would  give  several  to 
make  the  subject  clear. 

The  law  of  every  sovereignty  in  its  inherent 
nature,  is  the  philosophy  of  society  as  it  exis'.s, 
the  collective  voice. 

International  law  is  the  collective  voice  o! 
world  philosophy. 

There  has  been  much  dispute  as  to  the  source 
of  law,  Austin  saying  that  all  law  sprang  from 
the  sovereign  will,  Savigny  saying  that  its  proper 
source  was  the  common ,  intuitive  conscience  of 
the  people.  He  referred  to  the  case  of  the 
Scotia,  14  Wall. 

The  simple  division  of  the  subject  is  into  the 
law  relating  to,  1,  Foreign  Transactions,  and, 
2,     Domestic  Transactions.

Stitui  is  thj  diss  relation  in  which  a  person 
stands  before  the  law  (or  among  his  fellow- 
citizens)  . 

The  ancient  u?c  of  Latin  has  left  traces  in  all 
the  profes.'^ion.-j,  but  in  none  has  it  left  more 
than  in  the  Law,  where  it  expresses  tersely 
what  would  be  clumsily  stated  in  English.  Thus 
the  law  of  different  jurisdictions:  - 

Lex  Pdtriu;  (the  law  of  one's  country,  na- 
tivity). 

Lex  domicilii  (law  of  one's  domicile), 

Lex  fori  (law  of  the  forum), 

Lex  rei  sitie  (law  of  the  place  where  a  thing 
is  situated). 

Lex  loci  contractus  (law  where  contract  took 
place). 

Lex  loci  solutionis  (law  of  place  of  payment  or 
performance). 

The  lex  fori,  said  Prof.  Baldwin,  is  inherently 
the  strongest  and  is  the  best  known  and  the 
easiest  to  apply.  Indeed,  in  one  sense,  it  is  the 
only  law  which  governs  at  all,  as  the  tacit  recog- 
nition of  other  laws  by  applying  them,  is  at  the 
express  or  implied  direction  of  the  government 
of  the  jurisdiction.  In  this  Private  Law,  there 
is  a  doctrine  of  preference,  a  choice  made  by 
law  and  declare  1  by  the  courts.  The  courts  in 
their  decision  as  to  the  proper  law  to  govern 
should  not  follow  the  line  of  least  resistance. 
The  lex  fori  is  the  undoubted  rule  of  procedure, 
but  is  seldom  the  rule  as  to  determining  the 
legal  right,  unless  so  declared  by  the  legislative 
body. 

The  new  Civil  Code  of  Switzerland,  to  go  into 
effect  two  years  hence,  states  that  the  judge,  in 
the  absence  of  any  prescribed  requirement,  shall 
decide  in  accordance  with  what  the  law-making 
authority  would  have  prescribed,  by  selecting 
which  of  the  various  rules  is  most  applicable, 
and  which  the  Legislature  may  be  presumed  to 
have  had  in  mind — the  most  just.  The  codes  of 
Italy  and  Japan  do  not  leave  this  to  the  courts. 

The  courts  of  no  State  apply  any  foreign  law 
wliich  contravenes  its  public  policy,  fundamen- 
tal institutions  or  fixed  legislative  policy. 

There  is  no  universal  system  of  International 
Private  Law,  each  nation  being  free  to  follow 
its  own  will.  Take,  for  example,  "the  age  at 
which  a  person  reaches  majority,  by  Roman  Law 
■25  years,  by  the  Couamon  Law  21  years.  The 
Common  Law  has   gained    in    this    respect,    the

great  growth  of  education  serving  to  develop  a 
person  earlier  now.  So  that  the  age  of  21  years, 
formerly  the  age  of  majority  only  in  English- 
speaking  countries,  is  now  also  the  age  of  major- 
ity in  France,  Germany  (by  the  New  Imp.  Code 
of  1900)  and  Italy.  A  greater  age  obtains  in 
Austria,  Netherlands,  Denmark,  Norway,  Swe- 
den, Mexico. 

In  the  application  of  the  proper  law  to  con- 
tracts, that  law  will  be  preferred  which  will  sup- 
port the  contract;  and  where  the  question  is  as  to 
the  capacity  of  the  party  who  is  presumed  to 
have  entered  a  contract,  that  nationality  or  dom- 
icile will  be  attributed  to  him  which  will  best 
uphold  the  validity  of  the  undertaking. 

The  Judge  then  discussed  the  four  Hague  Con- 
ventions of  1893,  1894,  1900  and  1901,  held  by 
thirteen  European  powers  for  the  sole  purpose 
of  providing  a  code  of  International  Private  Law. 
(These  have  no  connection  with  the  "Public  In- 
ternational" Congresses  of  1899  and  1907).  The 
subjects  brought  up  at  the  Convention  of  1893 
were:  Personal  Status:  Property;  Contractual 
Engagements;  Marriage;  Divorce;  Paternity; 
Adoption;  Paternal  Power;  Guardianship  and 
Succession.  These  subjects  were  hastily  touched 
at  the  first  conference,  which  lasted  only  15 
days. 

At  the  call  of  the  Netherlands,  a  second  con- 
ference met  in  1894,  composed  of  the  same  pow- 
ers, with  the  addition  of  Sweden  and  Norway. 
This  time  each  topic  was  submitted  to  a  separate 
committee.  The  Conference  sat  nearly  a  month. 
The  recommendations  of  this  Conference  were 
ratified  and  went  into  effect  May  1,  1899. 

The  third  Conference  met  May  and  June,  1900, 
and  the  fourth  and  last  1901.  At  the  latter 
amendments  were  made  in  regard  to  Civil  Pro- 
cedure; Husband  and  Wife  and  Mariial  Rela- 
tions;  Bankruptcy;    Succession;   and    Lunatics. 

England  was  invited  to  attend  the  fust  of 
these  conferences,  but  declined.  No  American 
power  was  in  /ited  to  attend  any  of  them .  Japan 
appeared,  uninvited,  to  the  Conference  of  1904 
and  was  admitted.

The  Anglo-American  Doctri'ne  regards  Domi- 
cile as  the  test  of  status,  and  not  nationality. 
The  Judge  said,  however,  that  he  thought  the 
test  of  nationality  would  probably  prevail,  but 
that  it  is  not  very  important  which  prevails; 
only  it  is  highly  desirable  that  there  should  be 
one  uniform  test  the  world  over.  The  States  of 
this  Union  will  probably  agree  amongst  them- 
selves as  the  nations  of  Continental  Europe 
have  done,  before  long,  for  this  is  a  State  mat- 
ter. The  general  tendency  everywhere  is  to 
bring  local  statutes  and  jurisprudence  into  ac- 
cord with  The  Hague  Conference  principles. 

The  world  is  divided  into  two  schools  of  Inter- 
national Private  Law:  1,  Those  States  that 
were  parties  to  The  Hague  Conventions;  2. 
Those  States  that  were  not.  There  is  a  vital 
difference  between  their  doctrines. 

The  nations  of  The  Hague  Conventions  regard 
the  Lex  Patrix  law  of  nativity  as  the  criterion  of 
status;  the  other  nations  regard  the  law  of  do- 
micile as  the  criterion.  The  Hague  nations  re- 
gard status  as  ubiquitous,  i.  e.,  as  accompanying 
the  individual  everywhere;  the  other  nations 
give  greater  force  to  the  lex  loci  contractus  and  lex 
rei  sitm  and  lex  lori. 

It  is  not  easy,  said  Prof.  Baldwin,  to  deter- 
mine where  a  man's  domicile  may  be,  as  it  may 
be  acquired  in  a  day,  in  an  hour,  or  lost  in  a 
day,  in  an  hour;  but  it  is  not  so  with  national- 
ity— that  is  a  matter  of  record,  to  be  proved  or 
disproved  with  comparative  ease.  The  tend- 
ency, said  he,  is  towards  regarding  status  as 
ubiquitous ;  and  that  the  rule  of  the  future  may 
be  and  almost  ought  to  be,  there  being  no  fraud 
or  unfair  advantage,  to  apply  that  law  which 
would  support  rather  than  defeat  rights. 

At  the  conclusion  of  his  lectures  Judge  Bald- 
win was  heartily  applaudeP.  Among  those  pres- 
ent, besides  the  members  of  the  faculty,  were: 
Judges  Morris  and  Niles,  Major  Barton,  Ex-Gov. 
Warfield,  Theodore  Marburg,  George  R.  Gaither, 
George  Whitelock,  Wm.  S.  Bryan,  James  Bow- 
ers, Arthur  Stewart.  Judge  Baldwin  was  enter- 
tained by  Mr.  Theodore  Marburg. 

His  lectures  were  carefully  followed  by  all 
present,  and  we  feel  proud  to  have  been  able  to 
listen  to  one  who  is  such  an  authority  on  this 
branch  of  the  law.  The  Judge  is  a  clear  and 
forceful  speaker  and  infused  life  into  his  subject.

NOTE  BOOK  OF  DR.  POTTER. 

{Continued  from  p.  l.i,.s). 
We  are  struck  with  the  frequent  and  copious 
bloodletting;  also  the  large  use  of  mercury — it 
was  necessary  to  salivate.  There  is  a  case  of  a 
girl  from  the  country,  who  came  to  Baltimoi'-C 
":;s  a  hireling  to  Mrs.  Key  in  Commerce  street." 
The  day  after  her  arrival  she  had  a  cliill  and 
fever,  with  vomiting  lasting  several  days.  She 
ejected  great  quantities  of  matter  like  cofTce 
grounds  and  had  pain  in  the  hypochondriac  re- 
gion. Notwithstanding  these  symptoms  and  ''a 
low  but  laboring  pulse,"  Dr.  Potter-  bled  her 
when  called  to  see  her  on  the  second  day  of  her 
illness,  and  gave  her  a  mercurial  pm-gc.  "The 
blood  wassizy  and  cupped  with  a  yellow  serum. '"'

matter.  Small  doses  of  calomel  were  given.  On 
the  4th  day  "innumerable  petechiae"  were  dis- 
covered on  her  face.  She  walked  into  the  next 
room,  lay  down  and  expired.  The  blood  was 
effused  in  petechiae  in  a  thousand  places.  "A 
pallor  and  coldness  in  her  face  betokened  ill 
from  the  first." 

Continual  stress  is  laid  on  the  blood  being 
sizy  and  cupped  with  yellow  serum  and  the 
pulse  being  tense  and  hard.  He  could  not  give 
bark  in  intermittents  because  it  always  produced 
vomiting,  and  when  he  gave    laudanum  to  pre-

vent  vomiting,  they  were  always  made  worce. 
June  28  he  was  called  to  a  lady  with  an  eruption 
"perhaps  shingles  or  erysipelas."  About  the 
same  date,  he  inoculates  a  case.  .July  5,  he 
notes  death  within  three  or  four  days  of  three 
persons  on  Howard  street. 

He  describes  an  endemic  of  dysentery  which 
broke  out  on  July  13  among  the  United  Str.tcs 
troops  who  were  quartered  in  a  house  that  had 
been  used  for  a  candle  manufactory.  His  treat- 
ment was:  a  strong  dose  of  calomel,  which  often 
proved  emetic  as  well  as    cathartic,    causing  the 


discharge  from  the  stomach  of'  large  quantities 
of  green  bile  and  immense  discharges  of  black 
bile  with  blood  and  slime  from  the  bowel.  The 
purging  was  continued  till  natural  stools  were 
produced,  with  laudanum  at  night.  The  mer- 
cury generally  affected  the  mouth  and  as  soon  as 
this  took  place  patients  began  to  convalesce.  In 
one  case,  besides  the  calomel,  he  used  five 
ounces  of  mercurial  ointment  before  he  could  af- 
fect the  mouth.  Tenesmus,  griping  and  pain 
ceased  as  soon  as  he  perceived  the  least  soreness 
of  the  mouth.  Hemorrhages  and  ulcers  of  the 
mouth  were  noted  in  some.  All  recovered  in  five 
days  except  one. 

Jjater  in  the  month,  he  notes  most  immoderate 
inflammation  of  the  mouth  and  throat  from  sali- 
vation, with  ulcers  in  some  and  excruciating 
pain.  One  lady  had  violent  pains  in  her  breast 
from  the  mercury;  "but  this  new  disease  cured 
her  dysentery."  Other  cases  of  yellow  fever  are 
noted.

A  comparison  of  late  numbers  of  the  Hospital 
Bulletin  with  this  journal  will  show  how  much 
the  former  is  indebted  to  the  latter  for  its  mate- 
rial; yet  there  is  no  acknowledgment  anywhere 
of  tlie  fact.  Surely  the  editor  of  the  Bulletin 
cannot  think  it  fair  to  appropriate  our  articles 
without  giving  us  credit  for  them.

A  mistake  occurred  in  our  last  issue,  p.  151, 
where  a  portrait  was  published  as  that  of  "Her- 
bert H.  Willke,  Pharmacy  Prizeman,  1910."  Li 
fact,  it    was    the    portrait    of    William  Weltner, 


Phar.  D.,a  classmate  (jf  Dr.  Willke,  and  the 
error  was  due  to  the  confusing  designation  of 
the  former  in  Term  Marine.  "NVitli  many  apol- 
ogies to  Dr.  Willke,  we  give  his  picture  correctly 
in  this  issue.

The  beautiful  tributes  to  Professor  Harris  by 
Professors  Heatwole  and  Geiser  will  be  very 
gratifying  to  his  friends  and  pupils.  Dr.  Harris 
was  one  of  the  writer's  dearest  and  most  cher- 
ished friends.  For  many  years  we  were  patients 
of  each  other  and  the  ties  of  friendship  were  ce- 
mented by  the  closest  intimacy  and  confidence. 
Ht3  was  characterized  by  extreme  frankness,  by 
simplicity  of  manners  and  absolute  sincerity. 
Through  his  marvelous  skill  and  mechanical  ge- 
nius he  rose  to  the  highest  position  in  his  profes- 
sion and  was  ackeowledged  as  the  Nestor  of  Bal- 
timore dentists.  If  there  be  reward  for  good 
lives  and  duty  well  done,  he  will  surely  re- 
ceive it.

The  death  of  Mr.  Louis  Dohme,  President  of 
the  manufacturing  drug  house  of  Sharp  ct  Dohme, 
which  occurred  at  the  Union  Protestant  Infirm- 
ary in  this  city  on  Dec.  12,  removes  from  our 
midst  one  of  Baltimore's  most  prominent  bu-^i- 
ness  men.  Born  in  Germany  in  1837,  he  began 
his  professional  career  as  drug  clerk  in  the  small 
retail  drug  store  of  Mr.  Alpheus  Sharp,  which  he 
afterwards  developed  and  made  famous, the  build- 
ing now  occupying  a  quarter  of  a  square  and  stand- 
ing seven  stories  high.  He  received  his  degree 
at.  the  Mai  viand  College  of  Pharmacy,  now  the 
University  of  ^Maryland,  in  1857;  from  1891  lo 
1890  he  was  President  of  the  College.  He  was  a 
man  of  great  executive  and  organizing  ability, 
fond  of  the  classics  and  of  travel,  a  lover  of  art 
and  music.  He  was  unmarried.  He  left  the 
bulk  of  his  large  estate  to  his  nephew,  Dr.  A.  R. 
L.  Dohme,  the  present  head  of  the  firm.

liam North  Owings,  Ph.G.  '87,  who  has  been 
chief  assistant  at  tlie  main  store  for  the  past 
twenty  years.  Tlie  neighborhood  is  one  densely 
inhabited  liy  well-to-do  people  who  should  be 
able  to  appreciate  the  advantage  of  a  high-class 
pharmacy  in  tlieir  midst.     The  physicians  espe-

cially  should  welcome  such  an  establishment  by 
this  firm,  which  has  perhaps  done  more  than 
any  other  in  our  city  to  elevate  pharmacy  from 
a  mere  trade  to  a  profession,  ranking  equal  with 
law  and  medicine.

We  learn  that  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  Board 
oi  Regents  of  the  Un'wersity  attention  was  called 
to  the  fact  that  the  present  agreement  of  affili- 
ation with  St.  John's  College  is  now  entering 
upon  its  last  year,  and  the  Provost  was  author- 
ized to  appoint  a  committee  to  confer  with  a  like 
committee  from  St.  John's  with  regard  to  its 
renewal  or  modification.  Also  as  the  next  meet- 
ing of  the  Legislature  will  be  in  1912,  the  Pro- 
vost was  authorized  to  appoint  a  committee  to 
consider  further  the  matter  of  amendment  to  the 
charter  of  the  University,  especially  with  regard 
to  placing  the  control  of  the  University  under  a 
Board  of  Trustees,  who  should  be  entirely  inde- 
pendent of  the  teaching  faculties  of  any  of  the 
departments.  The  Provost  has  the  personnel  of 
these  committees  under  consideration. 

The  action  of  the  General  Alumni  Association, 
with  reference  to  a  plan  for  an  alumui' council, 
adopted  by  the  Association  on  November  11, 
had  not  been  communicated  to  the  Board  at  the 
time  of  this  meeting,  although  it  was  mentioned. 
By  the  way,  with  regard  to  this  plan,  the  state- 
ment that  it  had  been  "submitted  to  and  ac- 
cepted by  the  Regents"  (December  issue  of  Old 
Maryl.\nd,  p.  146)  proves  to  be  erroneous. 
The  Editor  of  this  journal  is  not  responsible  for 
the  misstatement,  the  paper  being  published  ex- 
actly as  it  was  handed  to  him  by  the  chairman 
of  the  Committee  of  Ten,  to  whom  was  referred 
the  matter  of  an  "Alumni  Council."

.  An  effort  is  being  made  to  enlist  the  interest 
of  the  students  in  the  Endowment  Fund.  At 
times  classes  have  contributed  and  a  communica- 
tion has  been  sent  to  the  President  of  every  class, 
suggesting  that  each  member  be  asked  to  con- 
tribute a  small  amount,  the  whole  being' pre- 
sented in  the  name  of  the  class.  As  there  are 
12  classes  in  tlie  professional  schools,  this  plan  if 
carried  out  v^-ould  add  a  substantial  amount  to 
our  Fund.  It  would  also  reflect  great  credit 
upon  the  students  and  the  several  classes. 


The  Board  of  Trustees  nf  the  Endoinnent  Fund 
held  its  annual  meeting  on  Jan.  9,  present  Hon. 
Henry  Stockbridge  in  the  Chair,  and  Messrs. 
Thomas,  Cordell,  Adler,  Hopkinson  and  Tregoe. 
At  his  request,  tlie  Treasurer's  bond  was  in- 
creased to  ?.5,000.  The  Treasurer's  report  was 
read,  received  and  referred  to  an  auditing  com- 
mittee of  Messrs.  Hopkinson  and  Thomas.  .Judge 
Stockbridge  declined  re-election  to  the  Presidency, 
whereupoii  ^Ir.  .John  B.  Thomas  was  elected  to 
fill  the  position.  The  other  offices  were  filled  by 
the  re-election  of  their  incumbents.

I  am  duly  in  receipt  of  your  letter  of  the  3d

University  of  Maryland  will  be  duly  considered 
before  I  make  any  contribution  to  another  insti- 
tution of  the  same  class.  Just  at  the  present 
time  there  seem  to  be  an  unusually  large  number 
of  appeals  for  unusually  deserving  objects,  and 
it  is  necessary  for  those  whose  means  have  not 
shown  a  like  increase  to  exercise  a  judicious, 
although  sometimes  ungracious,  discrimination. 
Pray  believe  me,  as  ever. 

Yours  most  truly,

In  Professor  R.  Tunstall  Taylor's  course  on 
orthopedics,  the  lecture  hour  on  Dec.  21  was  oc- 
cupied by  Dr.  Harry  B.  Taylor,  chief  surgeon  of 
St.  James'  Hospital,  Nanking,  China,  who 
spoke  to  the  class  on  "Deformities  and  Medical 
and  Surgical  Diseases  Seen  in  China." 

The  Faculty  of  Physic  has  nominated  to  the 
Board  of  Trustees  for  appointment  to  the  second 
Hitchcock  Scholarship,  Mr.  Raymond  G.  Hus- 
sey,  of  North  Carolina,  a  member  of  the  Senior 
Class.    ■

Dr.  M.  E.  B.  Owens,  '10,  Prizeman  and  mem- 
ber of  L^niversity  Ho-^pital  staff,  left  Baltimore 
Dec'  23,  for  Spokane,  Wash.,  which  will  be  his 
future  home.  He  will  be  associated  in  practice 
there  with  Dr.  A.  Aldridge  Matthews,  1900, 
who  was  Superintendent  of  University  Hospital 
for  several  years. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Faculty  of  Physic,  held 
Dec.  21,  it  was  resolved  that  hereafter  the  sala- 
ries of  the  Professors  in  this  department  should 
not  exceed  81,500. 

Professors  Randolph  Winslow  and  J.  Mason

a  paper  on  "Concussion  of  the  Spinal  Cord 
from  Gunshot  Injury  without  Penetration  of 
the  Spinal  Canal."" 

The  honor  system  at  examinations  has  been 
adopted  by  the  classes  of  the  Medical  Depart- 
ment. The  Faculty  have  given  their  hearty 
support  to  this  new  feature  and  have  promised 
to  co-operate  with  the  student  body  to  make  the 
honor  system  a  success  at  this  school.  The  Se- 
nior Class  ^vas  the  first  to  adopt  the  new  system 
at  a  special  meeting.  The  three  other  classes 
later  did  likewise.  The  following  comprise  the 
"Honor  Committee"  of  the  Senior  Class:  E.  S. 
BuUuck,  chairman;  P.  P.  McCain,  W.  L.  By- 
erly,  B.  J.  Asper,  W.  Linn.  The  duty  of  the 
honor  committee  is  to  decide  upou  the  guilt 
of  a  student  accused  of  cheating  during  an  ex- 
amination. The  other  three  classes  have  also 
elected  honor  committees. 

Electricity  is  being  introduced  into  Davidge 
Hall. 

It  has  been  determined  to  dedicate  Terra 
Mari.^,  the  students'  year  book,  to  Professor 
Daniel  Base,  of  the  Department  of  Pharmacy. 
The  students  of  the  Department  of  Law  have 
withdrawn  from  participation  in  the  Year  Book. 

Dr.  Hugh  W.  Brent,  '03,  has  returned  from 
Brazil,  where  he  was  employed  in  connection 
with  railroad  work  at  the  head  waters  of  the 
Amazon.  He  suffered  so  severely  there  with  ma- 
larial fever  that  he  was  compelled  to  return  to 
this  country  after  fourteen  months'  absence.  He 
will  settle  in  Baltimore. 

Dr.  Thomas  E.  Satterthwaite,  of  New  York, 
has  presented  forty  books  to  the  Library. 

Considerable  progress  has  been    made  on  the 

"Terra  Mari.e."      The  editors   expect  to  have

Judge  Stockbridge  has  published  his  syllabus 
on  "Conflict  of  Laws."  It  reflects  his  learning 
and  ability  and  is  indispensable  to  members  of 
the  class.  Mr.  Marbury  has  issued  a  syllabus 
on  "Torts,"  with  particular  reference  to  the 
Maryland  cases.  It  is  comprehensive  and  will 
be  verj'  valuable  to  the  students. 

After  holiday  from  Dec.  22,  the  students  reas- 
sembled for  the  beginning  of  lectures  on  Jan.  3, 
and  exchanged  greetings  and  told  of  their  various 
escapades  during  the  holidays.  Most  of  them 
are  now  busily  engaged  in  trying  to  fulfill  their 
New  Year  resolutions  to  study  hard,  especially 
since  examinations  are  not  so  far  off.  During 
the  holidays  some  of  the  Maryland  Reports  were 
rebound  and  now  stand  forth  conspicuous  in 
their  new  garb. 

The  students  were  greatly  shocked  to  learn  of 
the  tragic  death  of  Frank  Whalen,  '11,  whose 
mangled  remains  were  found  on  Dec.  29  in  the 
B.  and  O.  tunnel  that  extends  from  Camden 
to  Mt.  Royal  Stations.  It  is  thought  that  he  was 
struck  while-walking  through  or  that  he  fell  off  of 
a  train  while  passing  through.  Many  trains  had 
passed  over  his  body  before  it  was  discovered,  it 
being  about  two  days  before  he  was  found.  He 
was  a  member  of  the  Senior  Class,  and  was  a  good , 
congenial  fellow  and  well  liked  by  the  students. 
His  death  is  a  blow  to  many  of  his  friends  who 
had  seen  and  talked  to  him  only  a  short  time  be- 
fore. Resolutions  of  regret  and  sympathj^  were 
passed  by  the  Senior  Class  and  will  be  sent  to 
his  family. 

Mr.  William  L.  Marbury,  our  popular  lecturer 
on  Torts,  has  been  ill ;  it  is  hoped  that  he  will  have 
a  speedy  recovery.  E.  H.  M.

The  department  mourns  the  loss  of  Dr.  James 
Howard  Harris.  For  many  years  he  had  been 
tbe  constant  teacher,  and  friend  of  faculty, 
alumni  and  students;  so  liis  passing  away  is  a 
loss  to  all.

character  and  morals,  as  well  as  for  a  great  life's 
work.  Coming  to  Baltimore,  lie  adopted  the 
profession  Of  dentistry  and  after  many  years  as 
a  teacher  and  practitioner,  became  one  of  its  i  a- 
triarchs.  Wherever  American  dentistry  is 
known.  Dr.  Harris'  name  is  linked  with  its  sci- 
entific practice. 

He  was  laid  to  rest  at  his  old  home  in  Vir- 
ginia, on  December  15th,  and  whilst  his  inter- 
ment was  taking  place  in  Harrison bui'g,  the 
Faculty  and  students  assembled  in  the  lecture 
hall  for  a  service'  in  his  memory.  Dr.  Hcat- 
wble's  address  was  an  excellent  tribute  to  the 
life  and  character  of  this  great  man. 

Dr.  Harris  leaves  this  lasting  impression — 
that  the  more  earnestly  we  endeavor  to  do  our 
life's  work,  applying  ourselves  to  the  tasks  be- 
fore us  with  courage  and  perseverance  and  disre- 
garding the  glitter  of  honors  and  applause  of  a 
whimsical  world — the  more  powerful  becomes 
the  impression  we  make  on  society.  We  trust 
there  will  be  a  suitable  memorial  of  Dr.  Harris 
created  in  the  University. 

Many  of  the  students  have  returned  from 
their  Christmas  holiday,  bringing  happy  nien:- 
ories  of  home  and  friends.  I  have  not  learned 
anything  definite  as  yet  of  the  success  of  the 
theatre  party,  but  expect  the  baseball  team  to  be 
the  gainer  thereby. 

Dr.  J.  0.  Lamb,  '05,  visited  the  University  re- 
cently and  seemed  to  enjoy  looking  over  old 
familiar  spots  and  meeting  old  friends.  He  was 
accompanied  by  Mrs.  Lamb,  who  was  particu- 
larly interested  in  her  husband's  Alma  Mater. 
Dr.  Lamb  is  practicing  in  Johnson  City,  Tenn. 

It  seems  to  be  a  great  source  of  pleasure  for 
former  students  to  return,  and  surely  it  is  a 
pleasure  to  those  who  remain  here  to  note  the 
fact.  With  the  writer,  there  is  always  the  earn- 
est desire  that  all  will  come  who  can,  and  espe- 
cially the  alumni,  and  he  would  say  here  that  he 
will  be  glad  to  be  informed  of  anyone  who 
should  be  actively  associate  with  his  fellow- 
alumni,  but  is  not,  that  he  may  communicate 
with  him  and  enlist  his  interest  and  help  in  the

Professors  Heatwole  and  Davis  attended  the 
annual  convention  of  the  Institute  of  Dental 
Pedagogics,  which  met  in  Washington  City  re- 
cently. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Maryland  State  Dental 
Association,  held  in  Baltimore  Dec.  20,  atten- 
tion was  called  to  the  fact  that  the  body  of  Dr. 
Chapin  A.  Harris,  who  shares  with  Dr.  Horace 
H.  Hayden,  the  title  of  "father  of  dentistrj-,' 
rests  in  an  obscure  lot  in  Mt.  Olivet  Cemetery, 
whereupon  the  Association  authorized  the  Presi- 
dent to  appoint  a  committee  to  purchase  a  lot  to 
which  the  body  can  be  removed  and  a  suitable 
memorial  erected  over  it.  At  the  same  meeting 
Drs.  Cyrus  M.  Gingrich  and  B.  Holly  Smith  were 
appointed  a  committee  to  frame  a  suitable  memo-

[From  Andrew  to  his  father] . 

Phila.  Jan.  1782. 
My  bond.  Father: 

By  our  friend  Mr.  Steward  I  had  llie  pleasure 
of  your  two  letters,  wdiich  I  am  more  pleased 
with  since  they  contain  at  once  a  great  deal  of 
Instruction  &  Amusement.  I  perceive  by  tlieni 
that  you  had  not  received  mine  in  which  I  gave 
you  some, account  of  the  Kidney,  however  no 
doubt  1)3'  this  time,  it  may  liave  come  to  hand, 
by  which  you  will  find  that  the  Disorder  pi'o- 
ceeded  from  an  obstruction  of  the  Ureter,  by  a 
stone  (agreeable  to  your  oinnion).  Dr.  Bund  is 
very  full  of  it,  &  promises  to  give  us  at  least  4 
Lectures  on  it.  I  sliall  not  fail  to  .frive  you  the 
substance  of  them.  T  liave  not  hitherto  at- 
tended the  Philosophical  Lectures,  the  Professor 
having  gone  over  them  in  so  cursor5'  and  untelli- 
gible  a  manner,  as  made  the  young  Gentlemen 
extremely  dissatisfied ;  this  consideration  cou'd 
not  fail  to  discourage  me.  I  therefore  thought 
it  more  prudent  to  apply  myself  to  my  Anatom- 
ical Operations,  the  more  closely.  But  as  the 
Dr.  has  now  come  to  Winds  and  Sounds,  I  shall 
attend  the  remainder  of  his  Lecture,  or  at  least 
so  much  of  it  as  I  may  derive  some  advantage 
from.  I  have  attended  a  course  of  Lectures  on 
Electrieilj',  given  by  a  very  worthy  Gentleman, 
Mr.  Patterson;  but  the  badness  of  the  Weather 
prevented  their  being  as  satisfactory  as  they 
might  otherwise  have  been.  This  reminds  me  of 
Mr.  Walls  Air  Pump;  be  so  good  as  to  tell  him 
that  I  will  not  fail  to  enquire  for  one,  the  price 
of  which  I  shall  inform  him  bj^  the  next  oppor- 
tunity. My  dear  indulgent  Father,  according  to 
your  desire,  concerning  ray  Finances,  let  me  in- 
form 3'ou  that  at  Mr,  Messonier's  departure  (his 
brother-in-law)  I  receiv'd  4  half  Joes,  together 
with  an  order  on  Monsr.  jMallet,  wdio  has  prom- 
ised to  furnish  me  with  any  Sum  I  may  want.

I  cannot  sufficiently  a.ssiire  you  of  my  gnititude 
for  your  goodiie&s,  &  concern,  which  you  have 
shown  for  me,  &  can  only  fay  Unit  I  am,  if  pos- 
sible, more  &  more  riveted  to  you  every  day. 
I  hope  there  will  be  no  occasion  for  executing 
the  order  you  have  made  to  write  to  Mr.  Roe,  as 
I  have  bought  myself  2  Jackets  &  breeches  (An- 
drew was  now  19) ;  nevertheless,  if  I  might  pre- 
sume to  give  my  opinion  to  mammn,  I  think 
twou'd  hot  be  amiss  to  send  up  those  which  you 
mentioned,  since  I  m.ny  better  be  abl  to  judge 
whether  they  will  fit  me,  by  trying  them.  If 
they  sliou'd  unfortunately  he  spoiled,  I  conceive 
they  will  not  do  more  harm  in  Philadelphia 
than  in  Baltimore.  Give  my  love  to  her,  Betsy 
(Mrs.  Messonier)  and  Mr.  Messonier,  &  believe 
me  to  be  with  the  most  unfeigned  love  and  re- 
spect yr  Dutiful  Son

P.  S.     I  forgot  to  tell  you  that  I  hear  Mr.

having  left  her.     I  am  unacquainted  with  the

The  term  for  whieli  the  Hon.  Tlenry  Stockbridirc 
ivas  elected  a  member  of  the  Supreme  Bench  of 
Baltimore  is  drawing  to  a  close  and  the  filling  of 
the  vacancy  that  this  event  will  create  becomes  a 
matter  of  serious  concern  to  the  citizens  of  Bal- 
timore. There  is  no  office  of  a  public  character 
that  requires  higher  qualities  of  head  and  lieart 
than  this.  A  judge  should  be  absolutely  master 
of  himself;  heshould  not  only  possess  ability,  but 
should  be  fearless,  faithful,  industrious,  impar- 
tial, pure-minded,  conscientious.  Judge  Stock- 
bridge  has  illustrated  all  these  qualities  and 
"his  record  stands  unblemished.''  Tliere  is  one 
quality  that  has  especially  struck  the  writer 
in  the  career  of  .Judge  Stockbridge,  and  that  is 
his  tireless  energy,  bis  immense  capacity  for 
Avork.  Let  us  join  in  retaining  this  able  judge 
in  the  great  office  which  he  has  filled  with  such 
honor  and  abilitj-. 


An  alumnus  in  Connecticut,  in  writing  to  the 
Treasurer  of  the  General  Alumni  Association  for 
a  certificate  of  membership  in  that  body,  takes 
occasion  to  call  attention  to  the  desirability  of 
keeping  in  touch  with  the  alumni  after  gradu- 
ation, in  order  that  they  may  be  induced  to  en- 
roll themselves  either  in  the  General  or  one  of 
the  Branch  Associations.  He  deplores  the  fact 
that  "there  does  not  seem  to  be  anj^  sort  of  defi- 
nite list  of  graduates"'  and  that  "their  location  is 
lost."  This  is  not  the  case,  however,  with  us. 
For  years  this  journal  has  kept  a  list  of  alumni, 
now  amounting  to  some  6,000  or  more,  and 
copies  of  the  journal,  which  is  the  official  organ 
of  the  General  Alumni  Association,  are  sent  to 
them  from  time  to  time.  Many  have  received 
several  copies  during  the  past  six  j-ears.  The 
professional  directories,  which  are  published 
from  time  to  time,  enable  us  to  correct  and  add 
to  our  lists,  so  as  to  keep  them  up  to  date.  A 
copy  of  Oi.D  M.vRVL.vxD,  containing,  as  it  does, 


so  much  interesting  news  regarding  the  Univer- 
sity, the  alumni,  the  students,  etc.,  is  a  far  more 
effective  way  to  reach  and  interest  graduates,  we 
imagine,  than  any  mere  notice  or  circular  would 
be.  By  the  way,  tliere  are  a  number  of  Mary- 
Ian  i  men  living  in  Connecticut;  cannot  Dr. 
Reiman  and  his  fellow  alumni  there  organize  a 
hranch  association  ?

Since  .Mr.  Tregoe's  report  of  .Jan.  9,  $430.82 
in  cash  have  been  added  to  the  Endowment  Fund, 
making  the  amount  in  hand  at  this  dale  (Feb- 
2)  .29,362.2.5.  Among  new  (cash)  subscrip- 
tions were:  Centennial  Committee,  I'niversity  of 
Maryland,  balance  of  Centennial  fund  on  hand, 
through  Dr.  Ashby,  Treis.,  §25.82;  Dr.  .Joseph 
P.  P.  Kiief,  of  Newark,  N.  J,  §10.  The  last  is 
to  be  an  annual  subscription.  We  know  of  two 
wills,  recently  drawn  up,  containing  I^equests  to 
the  Fund,  of  $500  and  §100,  respectively.  Be 
sure  in  making  bequest?  to  get  the  title  right— 
''The  Trustees  of  the  Endowment  Fund  of  the  Univer- 
sili/  of  Mari/lnnd. ' '  An. error  occurred  in  this  re- 
spect in  the  Crim  bequest,  necessitating  a  re- 
course to  the  courts  for  its  interpretation  and 
the  same  mistake  was  made  in  Miss  Robinson's 
will,  mentioned  in  our  January  number.  The 
clause  in  the  latter  relating  to  us,  reads:  "I 
give  and  bequeath  to  the  University  of  Mary- 
land School  of  Medicine  for  a  contribution  to  an 
endowment  fund  of  the  said  institution,  the  sum 
of  five  thousand  dollars."  There  is  no  such  le- 
gally recognized  body  as  "the  University  of 
Maryland  School  of  Medicine,''  and  it  is  strange 
that  so  astute  a  lawyer  as  :Mr.  Machen,  wdio 
drew  up  the  will,  should  have  used  such  a 
title.

Messrs.  Eugene  W.  Hodson,  D.  R.  Milliard  and

foot,  emanating  from  tlie  stulent?  of  the  De- 
partment of  fjaw,  to  have  a  theatrical  benefit  at 
Easter  for  the  Fund.  These  and  other  facts 
show  that  tlie  appreciation  of  the  vital  import- 
ance of  the  Fund  to  the  University  is  growing  in 
the  minds  of  the  alumni. 


The  approach  of  the  termination  of  the  contract 
of  affilmtlon  between  St.  John's  Colleje  and  the  Uni- 
versit;i  renders  pertinent  an  earnest  consideration 
of  the  relations  these  institutions  are  to  bear  to 
each  other  in  the  future. 

In  the  scheme  of  a  University  adopted  hy  the 
Legislature  in  1784,  it  was  provided  tliat  St. 
John's  should  constitute  one  of  the  factors  of 
that  institution;  so  that,  in  forming  a  connec- 
tion with  the  present  University  of  INfaryland, 
the  authorities  of  St.  .John'.-s  are  hut  fulfilling 
the  design  contemplate  I  by  its  founders  a  cen- 
tury and  a  quarter  ago. 

What  better  destiny  could  they  Avi.sh  than  to 
be  a  part  of  a  successful  university?  Here  arc 
four  prosperous  professional  schools  with  a  safe 
and  growing  endowment  and  located  in  the  me- 
tropolis of  the  State,  which  is  also  one  of  ihc 
great  cities  of  the  world,  which  desire  and  mvd 
have  a  department  of  arts  and  sciences,  in  order 
to  render  their  organization  complete.  St. 
John's  is  the  only  means  by  which  they  can  se- 
cure it.  Therefore,  their  necessities  compel 
them  to  look  to  St.  John's  and  they  have  cveiy 
inducement  for  exercising  the  utmost  compliance 
as  to  the  terms  of  any  afflliation  or  union  tliat 
may  be  agreed  on. 

On  the  other  hand,  does  not  St.  John's  need 
the  University  equally  as  much?  Wliat  future 
worth  consideration;  inleed  what  future  at  all, 
is  there  for  small  unenlowel  and  nuaiiiliateil 
colleges'?  We  must  remember  that  times  are 
changing  and  that  colleges  can  no  longer  l.e 
maintained  in  the  style  and  on  tlie  income  tliat 
have  heretofore  been  considered  satisfactory. 
Is  Stats  aid  to  he  relied  on?  Does  not  the  past 
teach  us  how  uncertain  legislative  appropriations 
are?  All  indications  point  to  the  future  as  a 
period  of  storm  and  stress  an  1  the  clouds  are  al- 
ready lowering  in  the  pathway  of  many  who  ap-

pear  to  imagine  themselves  safe.  Li  those  days 
— iiioje  drealel  days — the  great  universities, 
backed  by  large  endowments,  will  dominate  all 
higher  education  and  it  is  even  doubtful  if  the 
rieli,  unatHliatcd  colleges  can  maintain  them- 
selves in  the  inevitable  and  fierce  competition 
tliat  will  tlien  exist. 

Therefore,  our  mutual  interests  and  necessi- 
ties call  upon  us  vo  unite  our  destinies.  Why 
not  get  togetlier  and  begin  our  deliberations  for 
a  union  at  once — the  time  for  deliberation  is 
none  too  long?  And  when  we  do  so,  let  us  prac- 
tice all  conciliation  and  cultivate  a  compliant 
spirit,  and  let  us  lay  aside  mere  sentiment  and  listen 
to  the  voice  of  reason  and  comm.on  sense  in  reaching 
a  decision. 


ALUMNI  ADVISORY  COUNCIL. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  General  Alumni  Associ- 
ation, held  on  Jan.  25,  the  "tentative  plan"

Maryland  for  Dec,  p.  116,  vras  reconsidered  and 
certain  objections  being  pointed  out  the  follow- 
ing simpler  plan  was  adopted  in  its  place:

July  23,  1799.  All  diseases  are  very  inflam- 
matory. Several  persons  died  of  fever,  within 
three  days  of  the  attack.  28th,  bowel  com- 
plaints rife:  "Do  not  the  gasses  evolved  during 
the  first  stages  of  putrefaction  produce  them ; 
and  is  not  the  more  complete  product  of  putre- 
faction that  gas  which  causes  bilious  fever."  *  * 
"The  same  causes  (miasmatic)  produce  all  the 
diseases,  the  difference  of  habit  or  predisposition, 
and  probably  the  degree  of  dilution  of  the  mi- 
asma, accounting  for  the  difference  of  symptoms. 
A  more  perfectly-formed  miasma,  probably  an 
acid,  is  concerned  in  yellow  fever."  August 
3,  the  soldiers  continue  to  contract  dysentery,  as 
fast  as  they  are  admitted  to  the    new    barracks.

12th,  bilious  colics  attended  'with  fever  prevail 
and  are  cared  most  effectually  by  strong  purges, 
particularly  of  calomel.  Opium  sometimes  af- 
fords relief,  but  pain  generally  returns,  unless  a 
good  purge  had  been  previously  administered. 
In  some  cases  the  mercury  affected  the  mouth 
and  then  the  disease  vanished  immediately. 
Bleeding  often  afforded  relief.  21st,  certain  ac- 
counts of  the  fever  being  in  Philadelphia  and 
New  York.  29th,  black  vomit  in  some  cases 
with  fatal  issue.  The  degree  of  inflammatory 
diathesis  often  very  considerable,  requiring 
much  bleeding  to  subdue.  Sept.  4,  no  epidemic 
at  present.  9th,  Miss  Mary  Reahm,  stepdaugh- 
ter of  Mr.  F.  Prill,  died  of  yellow  fever.  18th, 
several  cases  of  yellow  fever  at  Fell's  Point. 
27th,  agues  and  fevers  prevail,  mostly  tertians, 
witli  pains  in  the  bowels.  They  require  a  great 
deal  of  purging  and  are  often  cured  by  purging 
alone.  Some  require  bleeding;  others  cured  by 
bark.  There  are  all  grades  of  disease,  from  a 
yellow  fever,  which  kills  in  three  daj's,  to  an  in- 
termittent, which  is  cured  by  a  single  purge  or  a 
few  doses  of  bark.  Oct.  1 — 9,  yellow  fever  in- 
creasing. Yeomen  in  pregnancy  require  more 
bleeding — why?  There  is  mention  of  '  'Davidge's 
lies."  10th,  fever  abates  after  rain  and  cooler 
weather.  2 1st,  a  bilious  influenza  prevails  which 
seems  to  be  occasioned  by  the  same  poison  that 
produced  the  bilious  yellow  fever  last  month  and 
part  of  this.  The  entries  cease  on  Oct.  28,  the 
next  being  on  April  1,  1800.

for  ray  dues,  and  I  certainly  don't  want  to  be 
dropped  from  the  list.  I  always  look  for  Old 
Maryland,  as  it's  real  interesting,  and  feel  that 
every  graduate  of  the  grand  University  of 
Maryland  should  be  interested  in  the  same.  Also 
am  interested  in  your  Endowment  Fund,  for 
which  please  accept  check  for  ten  dollars  and 
this  you  can  expect  yearly,  only  remind  me  of 
same. 

What  is  the  matter  with  the  dental  depart- 
ment ?  Wake  up  boys  and  follow  suit!  If  every 
graduate  will  do  the  same  thing,  the  Fund  will 
grow  rapidly.  I  am  sorry  that  there  is  so  little 
to  read  from  the  Dental  Department. 

It  seems,  as  soon  as  one  graduates,  he  forgets 
entirely  about  his  Alma  Mater.  I  certainly  feel 
grieved  about  the  loss  of  dear  Prof.  Harris,  and 
can  recall  those  happy  days  when  he  would 
quiz  us  with  catch  questions,  which  prepared 
one  so  well  for  the  different  State  Boards.  His 
time  and  knowledge  were  every  student's  when- 
ever one  would  avail  himself  of  the  opportunity. 
Trusting  you  will  accept  this  small  gift  yearly 
and  that  this  will  be  the  means  of  starting  a 
Fund  that  will  surprise  every  one.  Come  on 
boys  of  '03,  start  something!  Every  little  bit 
helps.  Yours  for  luck,

lated  considerable  enthusiasm  regarding  the  en- 
dowment fund.  Just  at  this  time,  however,  our 
class  has  been  assessed  pretty  heavily  for  matters 
incident  to  our  class  expenditures  and  for  insert- 
ing our  class  pictures  in  the  '''Terra  Marue."  In 
the  near  future,  I  expect  to  bring  this  matter 
before  the  class  again  and  shall  hope  for  substan-

our  class,  or  the  student  body  as  a  whole,  and 
state  to  them  the  needs  and  resources  of  the 
University,  it  would  have  more  beneficial  effect 
than  the  enthusiasm  that  currently  prevails.

and  very  respectfully  yours,

Dear  Doctor  Cordell: 

Your  card  just  to  hand.  Yes,  it  was  truly  an 
oversight  on  my  part  in  not  remitting  to  Dr. 
Base  for  Old  Maryland,  and  I  thank  you  very 
much  for  calling  my  attention  to  it. 

The  memories  centering  around  the  old  Uni- 
versity become  dearer  to  me  as  the  months  and 
years  go  by,  and  the  best  that  I  shall  ever  have 
will  be  none  too  good  for  my  old  Alma  Mater. 
It  pains  me  to  see  how  negligent  are  a  great 
many  of  the  Alumni;  even  the  Alumni  of  Mary- 
land do  not  rally  to  the  support  of  the  University 
as  they  should.  Indeed,  I  believe  the  Alumni 
of  other  states  are  more  loyal  than  those  of  the 
mother  state. 

Why  don't  the  people  of  Maryland,  and  Bal- 
timore in  particular,  do  something  for  old 
Maryland  as  they  have  recently  done  for 
Hopkins  ? 

The  bold  stand  you  have  always  taken  for  the 
University,  in  the  face  of  repeated  attacks  by 
Flexner  et  all.,  pleases  to  the  full  the  true 
friends  of  the  school  and  stamps  you  as  the 
leading  champion  of  the  University's  rights. 
Very  kindest  regards. 

Faithfully  yours,

A  Reclamation  :  The  Catalogue  of  the  "Law 
School  of  the  University  of  Maryland"  for  1910, 
p.  22,  calls  the  session  commencing  Sept.,  1910, 
"the  41st."  This  is  a  mistake,  as  will  be  seen 
by  reference  to  the  History  of  the  University, 
1907,  Vol.  1,  pp.  348,  349.  It  is  there  stated  that 
the  School  was  "revived"  in  1869  and  that  the 
first  course  of  instruction  began  on  the  first 
Monday  of  February  following,  continuing  until 
the  summer  vacation;  that  the  second  session  be- 
gan in  October,  1870,  and  continued  until  the 
following  spring,  when  there  were  six  gradu- 
ates.  The  fact  that  there  were  graduates  in 
1871,  shows  that  the  first  (short)  session  was 
recognized  as  a  full  session,  for  the  regulations 
required  an  attendance  upon  "two  sessions"  for 
graduation.  A  calculation  will  show,  therefore, 
that  the  session  of  1910-11  is  the  "42d,"  not 
the  "41st." 

But  this  is  calculating  only  from  the  revival 
of  the  school  in  1869  and  overlooks  its  earlier 
career.  The  same  authority  tells  us,  pp.  341, 
344,  that  Professor  David  Hoffman,  the  founder 
of  the  Law  School,  lectured  annually  from  1823 
to  1836,  13  annual  sessions.  If  we  add  this  pe- 
riod to  the  second  period,  which  we  have  the 
right  to  do,  we  arrive  at  the  conclusion  that  the 
session  of  1910-11  is  the  55th!  We  recommend, 
therefore,  that  the  enumei'ation  be  changed  to 
correspond  with  this  revision.  We  have  as 
much  right  to  claim  the  additional  sessions  as  if 
there  had  been  no  break  in  the  continuity  of  the 
school.  Is  not  that  so,  gentlemen  of  the  Faculty 
of  Law?

BALTIMORE,  FEBRUARY,  1911. 


Mr.  Paul  F.  Flynn,  President  of  the  Senior 
Class,  Department  of  Pharmacy,  Las  been  ap- 
pointed Associate  Editor  from  tliat  Department 
on  the  staff  of  Old  Maryland.

We  are  informed  by  Dr.  Harris'  son,  Dr.  C.  C. 
Plarris,  that  his  father's  correct  name  was 
'■.James  Howell  Harris,"  not  ''James  Howard 
Harris,"  as  it  was  given  in  the  Memorial  Ad- 
dress.

We  are  glad  to  announce  that  Dr.  Charles  P. 
Noble,  of  Philadelphia,  the  eminent  gynecolo- 
gist, has  fally  recovered  his  health  and  has  re- 
sumed his  practice.  He  is  no  longer  connected 
with  the  Kensington  Hospital  for  Women,  but 
has  opened  a  private  s.inatorium  at  1509—11 
Lo3ait  street,  for  the  treat:n3nt  of  diseases  of 
women,  for  abdominal  surgery  and  for  nervous 
diseases  in  both  sexes.  Dr.  Noble  received  his 
degree  in  this  University  in  1884. 


Wg  are  informed  that  the  VnicersiU/  Council 
met  on  Feb.  3,  llic  first  meeting  held  during  tlie 
year.  Ali  the  members  were  present  with  one 
exception.  The  business  on  hand  was  the  se- 
lection of  the  orator  for  the  next  comnienoemont 
and  a  prominent  Virginian  was  nominated  for

Dr.  J.  McPherson  Scott,  of  Hagerstown,  Sec- 
retary of  the  BoLird  of  Medical  Examiners  of 
Maryland,  has  announced  that  the  following 
graduates  of  this  University  successfully  passed 
the  examinations  for  license  held  in  Baltimore 
on  Dec.  13—16;  Horace  B.  Titlow,  '08,  Mary- 
land; Paul  Brown,  '09,  South  Carolina;  and  the 
following  of  the  class  of  '10:  Herbert  T.  Ander- 
ton,  Virginia;  Giuseppi  Caturaui,  INew  York; 
William  B.  Fellers,  Virginia;  Herbert  M.  Fos- 
ter, Maryland;  Charles  A.  Goetling,  Jr.,  Mary- 
land; Harry  B.  Messmore,  Pennsylvania,  and 
Edmund  H.  Teeter,  Illinois.

The  Durham  (N.  C.)  papers  of  Dec.  9,  and 
the  Raleigh  papers  of  Dec.  10,  contain  most  flat- 
tering notices  of  organ  recitals  given  in  those 
cities  by  Professor  Robert  LeRoy  Haslup,  the  Uni- 
versity organist.  In  Durham  he  played  upon 
the  new  org  in  that  has  just  been  installed  in  the 
First  Baptist  Church ;  in  Raleigh  the  perform- 
ance was  given  at  Meredith  College  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Woman's  Club.  There  were 
crowded  audiences  on  both  occasions  and  Pro- 
fessor Haslup's  playing,  especially  of  his  own 
compositions,  seems  to  have  given  unalloyed 
pleasure.

It  remains  to  be  seen  what  effect  the  institu- 
tion of  an  Alumni  Council  by  the  General  Alumni 
Association  will  have  upon  the  career  of  the 
University.  It  is  the  first  attempt  upon  the  part 
of  the  alumni  to  participate  in  any  way  in  the 
direction  of  the  affairs  of  the  iustitutiou,  and  in

accordance  with  the  decision  of  the  Regents,  the 
new  body  is  to  act  only  in  an  advisory  capacity. 
It  is  said  that  much  good  has  been  accom- 
plished by  similar  bodies  in  other  universities  and 
it  is  readily  conceivable  that  like  results  might 
follow  here  if  the  basic  ideas  of  advice  and  help 
be  kept  distinctly  in  mind  and  wisdom,  tact  and 
perseverance  be  the  guides  of  action. 

It  is  much  to  be  desired  that  the  members  of 
the  Board  of  Kegents  and  the  various  faculties 
of  our  University  should  take  a  more  active  part 
in  public  affairs.  Every  university  should  make 
its  influence  continually  fek  by  the  community 
in  which  it  is  situated.  Why  should  we  leave 
tliis  liere  entirely  to  the  Hopkins? 

Entertaining  such  sentiments,  it  is  with  pleas- 
ure that  we  note  the  admirable  series  of  lay  ser- 
mons delivered  from  time  to  time  by  Hon. 
Henry  Stockbridge,  of  the  Faculty  of  Law.  The 
high  moral  tone  and  patriotic  fervor  of  these  ad- 
dresses are  needed  in  these  days  of  lax  think- 
ing and  loose  living  and  cannot  but  impress  all 
who  read  them,  while  they  will  strengthen  the 
hands  and  hearts  of  those  who  are  striving  to 
stem  the  tide  of  corruption  that  is  threatening 
our  social  and  national  welfare. 

We  might  mention  also  in  this  connection  the 
signal  public  services  of  Professor  Bonaparte  and 
Judge  Harlan,  of  the  same  Facultj',  of  Professors 
Thomas  A.  Ashby,  Hiram  Woods  and  John  S. 
Fulton,  of  the  Faculty  of  Medicine,  of  Professors 
Caspari  and  Hynson,  of  the  Faculty  of  Phar- 
macy, and  of  Professor  Heatwole,  of  the  Faculty 
of  Dentistry.  It  is  desirable  in  all  such  cases 
that  the  connection  with  this  University  be  kept 
before  the  public,  that  it  may  share  in  the 
honor  and  credit  acquired. 

o 

It  seems  to  us  that  too  much  care  cannot  be 
exercised  in  the  nomenclature  of  the  buildings  of  the 
Univorsit:/.  Rich  in  associations  and  memories 
as  it  is,  this  very  richness  may  prove  an  embar- 
rassment and  cause  us  to  hesitate  incur  decision 
as  to  what  names  are  really  worthy  of  the  high- 
est honors.     It  is  omincnt]3'  proper  and   desira-

ble  that  men  distinguished  in  our  annals,  either 
as  members  of  the  Board  of  Regents  or  as  alum- 
ni, should  be  commemorated  by  the  perpetua- 
tion of  their  names  visibly  among  us. 

There  are  many  whose  eminence  and  ser- 
vices entitle  them  to  such  distinction.  Among 
the  Provosts,  for  example,  were  those  great  law- 
yers, Chief  Justice  Roger  B.  Taney  and  Severn 
Teackle  Wallis,  the  former  holding  office  from 
1826  to  1839,  the  latter  from  1870  to  1894. 
Either  of  those  names  could  be  utilized  for  the 
building  of  the  department  of  law,  as  yet  un- 
named. Why  not  call  it  "Taney  Hall"?  An- 
ther eminent  name  from  the  same  source,  is  that 
of  John  Pendleton  Kennedy,  statesman  and 
Maryland's  most  famous  novelist,  authorof  those 
charming  stories,  "Swallow  Barn,"  "Horse- 
shoe Robinson"  and  "Rob  of  the  Bowl,"  who 
held  the  office  of  Provost  from  1850  to  1870. 
Nor  should  the  founder  of  the  School  of  Law, 
the  "Professor  of  Law"  from  1823  to  1836, 
David  Hoffman,  a  most  learned  man,  a  distin- 
guished teacher  and  writer,  be  overlooked  in  fu- 
ture "memorials." 

In  the  Department  of  Medicine  there  is  one 
name  that  is  pre-eminent  and  deserving  of  spec- 
ial recognition— that  of  the  founder  of  the 
school  and  of  the  University,  Dr.  .John  B. 
Davidge,  and  we  see  no  reason  why  it  should  not 
be  given  to  the  main  medical  building,  our 
"Pantheon."  Professor  Potter's  name  is  easily 
second,  and  in  view  of  the  share  he  took  as 
founder  and  his  long  career  as  teacher,  exiend- 
ing  from  1807  to  1843,  it  might  properly  be  ap- 
plied to  the  library  building,  now  known  as 
"Davidge  Hall."  The  eloctuent  chemist,  De- 
Butts,  who  lectured  from  1809  to  1831,  might 
well  be  honored  by  having  his  name  attached  to 
Practice  Hall,  which  contains  the  chemical  lab- 
oratory, over  which  he  so  long  presided.  (The 
name  "Gray  Laboratories,"  which  has  been 
given  to  Practice  Hall,  seems  a  misnomer,  as  the 
$5,000  legacy  of  the  merchant  of  that  name  was 
bequeathed  to  the  hospital  only,  in  testimony  of 
gratitude  for  care  and  attention  received  while  a 
patient  therein,  and  was  u.sed  for  the  mainten- 
ance of  that  institution  from  1829  to  1852,  when 
it  was  expended  in  improvements  to  the  build- 
ing). Should  an  anatomical  hall  ever  be  built, 
the  name  of  Roby,  our  greatest  anatomist, 
should  be  considered,  and  if  there  should  ever  be 


26 


OLD  MARYLAND. 


a  pathological  building,  the  name  of  Charles 
Frick  or  James  Carroll  might  serve  for  its  desig- 
nation. And  when  the  proposed  students'  dor- 
mitory rises  on  the  corner  opposite  the  hospital, 
what  name  would  be  better  for  it  than  "Smith 
Hall,"  after  ourgreat  surgeon,  Nathan  R.  Smith, 
"the  Emperor"? 

In  the  School  of  Dentistry,  the  youngest  of 
our  departments,  the  name  of  Horace  H.  Hay- 
den,  i.he  "Father  of  Dentistry, "  readily  suggests 
itself,  for  it  was  he  who  delivered  in  this  very 
University,  in  1837,  what  was  probabl3r  the  first 
scientific  instruction  in  dentistry  given  in  Amer- 
ica. What  more  appropriate,  therefore,  than 
that  the  dental  building  should  be  called  "Hay- 
den  Hall"? 

Finally,  in  David  Stewart,  the  incumbent  of 
the  first  independent  chair  of  Pharmacy  in 
America,  our  Department  of  Pharmacy  pos- 
sesses a  name  ready  to  hand  for  the  pharmacy 
building  which  it  must  soon  have  to  accommo- 
date the  crowd  of  students  who  come  to  receive 
the  instruction  of  its  able  faculty. 

This  is  a  historical  question  and  should  be 
considered  from  that  point  of  veiw.  In  dealing 
with  it,  we  have  sought  to  suggest  the  names  of 
those  most  famous  in  our  annals,  and  most 
closely  identified  with  the  founding  and  career 
of  our  University.

HONOR    SYSTEM. 

The  Honor  Committee  of  the  several  Classes  at

be  governed. 

1.  The  Honor  Committee  of  the  Medical  De- 
partment of  the  University  of  Maryland  shall 
consist  of  20  members,  5  members  from  each 
class,  said  5  members  constituting  the  Class 
Honor  Committee. 

2.  The  Class  Honor  Committees  shall  be 
elected  Annually  by  the  popular  vote  of  their 
respective  classes,  the  nominations  being  open

highest  number  of  votes  shall  be  considered 
elected. 

3.  The  members  of  the  Honor  Committees 
shall  be  required  to  sign  the  following  pledge: 

I, ,  hereby    pledge    my   word    of  honor 

that,  upon  notification,  I  will  attend  all  trials 
concerning  the  infringement  of  the  rules  of  the 
Honor  System,  placing  my  duty  as  a  member  of 
the  Honor  Committee  above  all  others. 

4.  Any  student  believed  to  have  given  or  re- 
ceived aid  in  any  final  examination,  either  writ- 
ten or  oral,  shall  be  reported  to  some  member  of 
the  Honor  Committee  of  his  class.  The  Chair- 
man of  said  class  Honor  Committee  shall,  as 
soon  as  possible,  and  not  later  than  five  days,  call 
a  meeting  of  the  Class  Honor  Committee  in  con- 
junction with  the  Chairman  of  each  of  the  other 
three  Class  Honor  Committees,  such  body  con- 
stituting the  court  before  whom  the  accused  shall 
be  tried,  said  court  being  presided  over  by  the 
chairman  of  the  Senior  Honor  Committee. 

5.  This  Court,  after  hearing  the  evidence 
against  the  accused  and  after  hearing  his  defense, 
shall  decide  upon  his  guilt  or  innocence.  At 
least  five  of  the  seven  judges  must  vote  in  favor 
of  conviction  before  the  accused  is  adjudged 
guilty. 

6.  Upon  being  found  guilty  of  cheating  at 
an  examination,  the  accused  shall  be  advised  by

nothing  further  shall  be  dons.  If,  however,  the 
accused  shall  refuse  to  leave,  the  faculty  shall  be 
told  to  expel  him. 

7.  If  the  accused,  claiming  to  have  received

he  shall  be  accorded  the  privilege  of  having  his 
case  reviewed  by  an  Appeal  Court,  consisting  of 
the  members  of  the  Honor  Committees  of  all 
the  classes  and  three  members  of  the  Major  Fac- 
ulty. At  least  two-thirds  of  the  members  con- 
stituting the  Appeal  Court  must  be  present  to 
constitute  a  quorum,  and  the  votes  of  three- 
fourths  of  the  members  present  shall  be  neces- 
sary to  sustain  the  judgment  and  the  decision  of 
the  lower  court.  There  shall  be  no  appeal  from 
the  deciiion  of  this  second  court.

10.  No  student  shall  be  permitted  to  leave 
the  examination  room,  except  for  some  absolute 
necessity  to  be  determined  by  the  Professor  in 
charge;  and  then  the  student  is  to  be  accom- 
panied by  some  one  designated  by  the  Professor 
in  charge,  said  Professor  limiting  the  time  of 
the  students  for  staying  out. 

11.  It  shall  be  optional  with  each  student

pledge  is  to  be  recommended.

A  mid-year  examination  in  "Senior  Surgery" 
was  given  on  Jan,  27,  in  Davidge  Hall.  This 
examination  was  final  on  "Fractures  and  Dis- 
locations." 

It  has  been  decided  by  the  Senior  Class  to  have 
a  dance. and  a  banquet  during  graduation  week. 

Clinics  on  "Mental  Diseases"  are  now  being 
held  every  Saturday  afternoon  at  Bayview  Hos- 
pital, by  Prof.  Spear.  These  clinics  are  proving 
very  interesting  and  instructive  and  are  attended 
by  both  the  .Junior  and  Senior  Medical  Classes. 

On  Jan.  17,  Prof.  Landis,  of  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania,  gave  a  very  interesting  lecture 
in  the  Hospital  Amphitheatre,  on  the  "Diagno- 
sis of  Tuberculosis." 

Mr.  W.  H.  Cannon,  Jr.  of  Concord,  North 
Carolina,  a  member  of  the  Junior  Class,  died  at 
the  University  Hospital  on  Jan.  28,  aged  22. 
Peritonitis  was  the  cause  of  his  death.  Mr. 
Buchanan  of  the  Junior  Class,  accompanied  the 
body  of  Mr.  Cannon  to  his  late  home. 

Dr.  M.  E.  B.  Owens,  '10,  late  of  University

DEPARTMENT  OF  DENTISTRY. 

The  department  has  learned  the  names  of  the 
gentlemen  who  ]-epresent  it  on  the  Alumni  Coun- 
cil. We  note  with  pleasure  that  the  name  of  Dr. 
Herbert  Gorgas,  son  of  Professor  F.  J.  S.  Gor- 
gas,  heads  the  list,  followed  by  Dr.  L.  Wilson 
Davis,  a  brother  of  Professor  Davis,  Drs.  Heuis- 
ler,  Sykes  and  Boyd,  who  have  always  taken  a 
hearty  interest  in  the  department;  and  lastly, 
Dr.  Eldridge  Baskin,  who  has  recently  become 
actively  identified  with  the  teaching  staft'. 

Most  certainly,  all  the  Alumni  of  the  dental  de- 
partment feel  a  keen  interest  in  the  idea  of  an  Alum- 
ni Council  and  we  trust  that  the  members  of  the 
Council  will  respond  to  the  call  and  be  active  in 
supporting  measures  for  the  advancement  of  the 
School.  For  many  years  there  was  maintained 
an  active  Alumni  association  in  the  dental  de- 
partn.ent.     ^Vhen  that  organization  was  merged

into  the  General  Alumni  Association,  its  mem- 
bers kept  up  their  active  interest. 

The  idea  of  an  Alumni  Council  is  particularly 
gratifying  as  it  fosters  the  University  spirit.  The 
dental  department  can  hardly  afford  to  be  di- 
vorced from  the  School  of  Medicine  and  the  Uni- 
versity spirit,  for  it  is  a  natural  product  of  med- 
icine, and  shares  in  the  University  education. 

We  report  that  the  Student  body  is,  as  usual, 
measuring  well  up  to  the  standard  of  work  re- 
quired . 

It  must  be  gratifying  to  our  large  body  of 
Alumni,  to  know,  that,  as  each  year  passes,  men 
step  from  the  Senior  Class  to  the  ranks  of  the 
profession,  whose  work  is  particularly  satisfactory 
to  the  instructors ;  and  they  feel  certain,  that 
our  students  will  take  rank  with  students  from 
other  like  schools  in  the  country,  and  carry  on 
creditably  the  ethical  and  scientific  work  of  the 
profession . 

We  have  received  communications  from  Drs. 
Harry  W.  Blaisdell,  Walton  J.  Graft  and  Geo. 
C.  Dreher.  They  have  successfully  passed  the 
State  Board  Examinations. 

Mr.  T.  A.  Bunn,  of  the  Senior  Class,  was  op- 
erated upon  by  Dr.  Bay  at  the  Hospital,  for  ap- 
pendicitis.    He  is  rapidly  recuperating. 

Mr.  Mansir,  of  the  -Junior  Class,  is  leaving 
town  on  account  of  ill  health.  We  will  wel- 
come his  return  when  health  is  restored,  which 
we  most  earestly  hope  for. 

The  members  of  the  Chi-Phi-Psi  fraternity 
held  a  well  appointed  dinner  recently,  at  the 
New  Howard;  they  had  as  guests  the  members 
of  the  fraternity  who  are  instructors  and  of  the 
faculty.  One  of  the  Professors  remarked,  that 
it  was  one  of  the  most  enjoyable,  well  conducted 
and  interesting  affairs  he  had  ever  attended  in 
the   social  annals  of  the  University  of  Maryland. 

As  the  scholastic  year  is  drawing  to  a  close — 
and  sometimes  the  end  comes  more  rapidly  than 
we  expect — let  us  cherish  the  hope  that,  for  the 
few  remaining  months,  the  aim  and  efforts  of 
students  and  teachers,  alike,  will  be  to  endeavor 
to  make  the  closing  day  as  great  as  possible  and 
fall  of  gratifying  results,  through  the  labors  of 
the  scholastic  term.

began  physical  examination  of  the  cadets  .Jan. 
9,  under  the  supervision  of  Prof.  R.  E.  Grove, 
of  the  preparatory  department. 

The  annual  banquet  of  the  Baltimore  Alumni 
of  St.  John's,  took  place  at  the  Belvedere  Hotel, 
.Jan.  28.  About  75  sat  at  table,  with  Mr.  Walter

were  Dr.  Thomas  Fell,  Mr.  Charles  J.  Bonaparte, 
E.x;-Gov.  Edwin  Warfield,  Messrs.  Evelyn  A. 
Harrison  and  Wirt  Wilmer.  Dr.  Fell  proposed 
that  the  alumni  should  raise  $200,000  for  en- 
dowment and  widen  the  i-cope  of  the  institution 
and  seek  closer  relations  with  the  State.  The  offi- 
cers of  the  Association,  who  were  re-elected,  are: 
Pres.,  Walter  I.  Dawkins,  of  the  Baltimore  Bar;

On  .Jan.  23  and  24,  three  performances  were 
given  in  McDowell  Hall,  for  the  benefit  of  the 
Emergency  Hospital.  The  plays  were  an  ope- 
retta called  "The  Seven  Old  Ladies,"  and  a 
Farce  Comedy  "The  Elopement  of  Ellen." 
The  players  were  Annapolitans  and  the  hall  was 
well  filled  on  all  three  occasions.  The  music  was 
by  the  college  orchestra. 

Ex- Judge  DanielR.  Magruder,  of  Annapolis,

Last  month  was,  with  the  exception  of  exam- 
inations, a  somewhat  uneventful  one  for  the  I.aw 
School.  All  the  students  weie  liard  at  work 
getting  ready  for  the  examinations,  trying  to  put 
to  good  use  the  short  time  before  the  final  day 
of  reckoning.  The  examinations  began  on  Jan. 
27,  with  the  Seniors  and  ended  on  Feb.  4,  with 
the  Juniors  on  the  rack.  A  great  deal  of  study- 
ing was  done  last  term  and,  ns  a  rule,  the  fel- 
lows were  well  prepared  There  was  a  very  large 
class  to  take  Torts  this  year  as  it  ^\  as  made  a 
Junior  study,  thus  embracing  in  this  year's  class 
those  who  were  Juniors  last  year  and  therefore 
did  not  take  it  last  year  and  those  who  are  Ju- 
niors this  year,  so  composing  almost  all  of  the 
Junior  and  Intermediate  classes.  On  the  other 
hand  the  class  in  Domestic  Relations  was  very 
small,  that  subject  Jiaving  been  changed  fi-oin 
the  Junior  to  the  Intermediate  classes;  tl.e  In- 
termediates had  it  last  year  and  the  Juniors  will 
take  it  ne.xt  year;  those  who  are  taking  two 
years  in  one  are  taking  it  this  year.

desire  for  a  long  time.  We  mentioned  not  long 
ago  the  great  need  of  this  set  of  reports  and 
how  difficult  it  was  to  properly  study  a  subject 
where  many  cases  were  cited  from  the  Federal 
courts  other  than  the  Supreme  Court.  It  will 
certainly  be  a  wondei-ful  help  to  the  students, 
especially  the  Seniors,  and  will  greatly  enhance 
the  working  value  as  well  as  the  appearance  of 
the  Library. 

Our  present  efficient  Day  Librarian,  Mr. 
SchlosF,  is  perfecting  plans  to  make  the  Library 
up-to-date  and  first-class  and  he  has  all  our  en- 
couragement and  wishes  for  success.  Outside  of 
lecturers  the  next  most  important  asset  of  a  law 
school  isa  good  librar3'.     We  are  on  the  ^vay. 

Messrs.  Schley  and  Bartlelt  Lave  hi  ought  out 
a  syllabus  on  Real  Properly  of  about  75  i  ages, 
which  has  been  gone  over  by  Mr.  Tiffany  and 
revised  or  corrected  where  necessary,  thus  insur- 
ing its  accui'acy  and  truthfulness  of  detail.  It 
is  a  complete  work  and  it  is  predicted  that  it  will 
be  of  great  value  in  the  course  on  Real  Property. 

The  Lxw  School  received  the  announcement 
last  month  of  the  marriage  of  My.  Fcklser,  1910,

RECOLLECTIONS  OF  SLAVE  DAYS  AND 
WAR  TIMES. 

By  the  Editor. 
(^Contmucd  /rem  p.    ]46,  Dec    JOIO). 

We  spent  the  winter  of  1863-61  at  the  Narrows 
of  New  River,  seven  miles  west  of  Pearisburg,  in 
Giles  county,  on  the  road  from  Dublin  Depot  to 
the  Kanawha  \'alley.  Our  men  were  expeii- 
enced  woodmen  and  wielded  the  axe  witli  per- 
fect ease.  They  felled  the  tree.^  on  the  neighbor- 
ing hillsides  and,  dragging  them  to  the  site  se- 
lected for  a  winter  camp,  they  soon  built  very 
neat  and  comfortable  cabins.  Tiiese  were  ar- 
ranged in  rows  with  streets  between;  we  also 
had  a  chapel  for  the  services  of  the  chaplains. 
My  cabin,  built  by  some  of  the  men  of  my  com- 
pany, was  12  feet  square.  It  had  a  plank  floor 
and  contained  a  good  fireplace,  a  comfortable 
raised  bed,  some  shelves,  a  writing  table  and 
even  a  glass  window.  The  chapel  was  built  of 
hewn  logs  and  was  28  x  12  feet. 

About  the  last  of  November,  1863,  I  had  a 
very  pleasant  visit  to  the  homo  of  one  of  the 
Lieutenants  of  my  Regiment — ]>ieutenant  Shank- 
lin.  He  lived  on  the  north  (opposite)  side  of 
New  River,  about  twelve  miles  northwest  of  our 
camp.  We  attended  a  "quilting  party"  one 
night    and    then    had    the    girls    come    to    ]\Jr.

Shanklin's  the  next  night.  Some  of  them  were 
very  pretty  and  I  remarked  that  they  seemed 
particularly  to  like  those  games  which  were  ac- 
companied by  kissing  and  hugging.  We  spent 
the  whole  night  in  games  and  slept  the  greater 
part  of  the  next  day.  This  familiarity  between 
the  sexes  seemed  to  be  purely  the  outcome  of  an 
unsophisticated  innocence.  It  was  the  custom 
of  a  country  remote  from  the  great  centres  of 
population,  where  simplicity  of  manners  pre- 
vailed and  art  had  not  yet  entered.  I  witnessed 
no  improprieties — unless  the  acts  connected 
with  the  games  of  that  nature  can  be  so  consid- 
ered, and  I  can  truthfully  say  that  there  was 
no  suggestion  of  evil  to  my  own  mind  in  any- 
thing that  wns  done.  Therefore,  "Honi  soit 
qui  mal  y  pense." 

In  this  connection  I  may  state,  that  in  the 
mountain  region  where  we  were  serving,  there 
are  many  houses  to  which  there  is  no  access  for 
vehicles,  only  a  pathway  for  horse  or  man. 
Many  a  household  has  but  one  room  in  which 
the  entire  family  sleep.  Often  there  is  but  one 
bed  and  I  have  heard  of  cases  where  the  vis- 
itor was  invited  to  occupy  this  with  the  members 
of  the  family. 

On  the  third  day  (Nov.  29),  being  Sunday,  we 
attended  church,  and  that  eveniHg  our  passes 
having  expired,  we  started  off  for  camp.  We 
reached  the  Grey  Sulphur  Springs  intending  to 
spend  the  night  there,  but  a  little  after  dark,  our 
brigade  passed  by  under  orders  for  Lewisburg, 
in  Greenbrier  county,  on  which  place  the  en- 
emy was  said  to  be  advancing.  I  joined  my 
company  and  found  both  Captain  and  Lieuten- 
ant intoxicated.  The  command  had  marched 
by  a  distillery  where  many  had  partaken  too 
freely  of  apple  brandy.  We  proceeded  as  far  as 
Dropping  Lick  Church,  six  milei  from  Union, 
the  county-seat  of  Monroe  county,  where  we 
halted  until  further  orders.  A\'e  bivouacked 
there  uatil  Dec.  2d,  whe.i  we  returned  to  the 
Narrows. 

In  December,  we  were  again  roused  out  of  our 
comfortabfe  quarters  by  another  raid  of  the  inde- 
fatigable Averill.  We  marched  toward  the  east 
and  occupied  a  gap  in  the  road  leading  from 
Christiansburg  to  Union,  by  which  it  was  con- 
fidently expected  he  would  endeavor  to  retreat. 
We  were  much  disappointed  that  he  did  not 
come  that  way,   as  we  had  a   warm   reception

awaiting  him.  On  this  trip  avc  marched  over 
Salt  Pond  Mountain,  famous  for  its  mountain 
lalie.  This  is  a  sheet  of  fresh  water  on  the  very 
summit  of  the  mountain,  which  is  one  of  the 
loftiest  in  Virginia.  It  measures  some  three- 
quarters  by  one-half  mile  in  extent  and  is  a  fa- 
vorite summer  resort  for  tourists  and  pleasure- 
seekers,  the  fishing  being  very  fine  and  the 
scenery  unsurpassed.  I  shall  never  forget  the 
beautj'  of  the  forest,  as  we  marched  along  the 
banks  of  the  lake,  the  trees  and  shrubbery  being 
sheatlied  in  a  coat  of  ice,  while  beautiful  pendant 
icicles  were  strung  along  every  branch.  The 
weather  was  extremely  inclement  and  we  suf- 
fered intensely  from  exposure  and  insufficient 
clothing.  On  our  return  to  camp,  I  made  an 
inspection  of  my  company  and  found  that  of  the 
36  enlisted  men  present,  13  were  almost  entirely 
barefooted.  The  people  of  Craig  county,  how- 
ever, were  very  kind  to  us  and  received  us  with 
great  cordiality  into  their  homes. 

Christmas,  1863,  passed  quietly  with  the  com- 
mand, except  that  a  great  many  were  intoxi- 
cated. I  went  with  Lieutenant  Shanklin  to  his 
father's.  I  was  there  persuaded  to  go  to  a  parly 
on  New  River,  but  I  regretted  it  exceedingly  as 
we  got  with  a  very  disreputable  crowd,  most  of 
whom  were  intoxicated.  I  expected  to  go  over  to 
Mercer  to  a  deer- drive,  but  was  disappointed. 
On  the  whole,  I  could  not  but  contrast  this  visit 
with  my  former  one  and  I  resolved  never  to  be 
carried  off  on  Tuch  a  wild  carousal  again.  I  re- 
gretted very  much  that  I  had  not  followed  my 
first  intention  of  going  to  Craig  county,  to  see 
some  kind  friends  whose  acquaintance  I  had 
made  during  our  recent  trip  thither,  and  who 
had  given  me  a  most  pressing  invitation  to  visit 
them  during  the  holidays.  I  had  most  unwisely 
yielded  to  the  solicitations  of  mj'  friend,  Shank- 
lin. I  learned  afterwards  that  my  Greenbrier 
friends  had  also  looked  for  me  to  visit  them. 

During  this  winter,  1863-4 — Ihe  first  in  which 
we  had  been  in  regular  winter  ciuarters,  we  were 
not  without  some  relief  from  t!;e  tedium  of  camp 
life.     We  received  the    papers    very   irregularly,

but  we  had  a  few  books  in  circulation  and  we 
met  of  evenings  and  joined  in  conversation  and 
song.  Our  favorite  rendezvous  was  the  quarters 
of  the  surgeons — Drs.  Noel  and  Harris,  which 
were  large  and  comfortable  and  accommodated 
quite  a  large  party  of  us.  We  had  some  jokes 
to  enliven  the  camp.  Dr.  Harris,  an  innocent 
young  surgeon,  was  known  as  the  man  who  "re- 
marked te-he,"  and  there  was  an  ancient  and 
very  verbose  Lieutenant  from  Botetourt,  wl;o 
used  to  carry  around  a  cat-rifle,  whom  we  dubl> 
ed  ''the  man  with  the  shot-gun."  I  heard  a 
very  curious  sermon  at  this  time  whicli  I  have 
described  in  one  of  my  letters.  It  was  delivered 
by  one  of  our  chaplains — not  our  own — in  the 
little  schoolhouse  up  Wolf  Creek.  He  was  a 
young  and  apparently  quite  illiterate  person, 
with  a  very  loud  and  harsh  voice  and  a  shouting 
style.  It  was  really  painful  to  see  him  wriggling 
his  body  about  in  the  most  frantic  and  ungrace- 
ful manner,  writhing  and  contorting  his  features, 
casting  his  arms  from  ceiling  to  floor  and  from 
window  to  window,  making  the  house  ring  with 
the  reverberation  of  his  thundering  tones,  until 
I  feared  lest  he  should  become  dumb  and  we  deaf. 
I  would  have  risen  and  left  the  room,  but  for 
my  unwillingness  to  treat  a  minister  of  the  Gos- 
pel and  a  holy  occasion  with  disrespect.  Yet  we 
must  not  be  too  hasty  and  conclude  that  such 
sermons  may  not  be  edifying  to  some  person^. 
They  may  not  suit  the  reader  or  myself  but  we 
cannot  set  the  standard  for  all  others.  I  re- 
cently listened  by  chance  to  a  sermon  by  a  col- 
ored Baptist  preacher,  which  if  I  had  the  space 
and  ability  to  describe  would  be  considered  re- 
markable. With  each  short  ejaculation  the  speak- 
er audibly  caught  his  breath,  and  his  constant  re- 
frain— which  I  did  not  at  first  make  out — was 
"Honor  ter's  Name!"  with  a  strong  emphasis 
on  the  "ter."  Yet  a  very  intelligent  hod-car- 
rier, who  stood  by,  could  not  understand  how 
I  could  consider  it  "very  funny." 

Early  in  January  (186i)  our  brigade,  now 
called  the  4th,  was  augmented  by  tlie  17th  A^a. 
Cavalry,  which  had  just  returned  from  a  raid 
into  Kanawha  Valley.  On  their  arrival  at  the 
Narrows,  they  were  dismounted  and  their  horses 
were  sent  off  to  forage  in  North  Carolina,  until 
Spring  again  permitted  them  to  find  pasture  in 
Virginia.  Beckley's  Battalion  of  Infantry  (45lh ),

the  compliment — the  fii'st  intimation  of  the  good 
opinion  my  commander  had  of  me.  At  first  I 
regretted  the  change  of  assignment,  as  Bristol 
was  a  pleasant  place  and  would  afford  social  ad- 
vantages, for  which  1  longed.  But  I  was  then 
looking  forward  to  a  furlough  in  a  few  weeks 
and  this  would  have  been,  jeopardized  by  mj^  ab- 
sence. 

The  office  of  the  Provost  Marshal  was  in  the 
postoffii^e  building.  The  position  was  a  verj'  re- 
sponsible one,  requiring  the  examination  of  the 
papers  of  all  transient  and  detailed  soldiers  and 
of  citizens,  to  issue  passe-;  whenever  satisfactory 
explanations  were  given,  to  s:gn  all  quaslirmas-

tion as  there  should  been.  I  tried  to  secure 
clerical  assistance  but  it  was  refused.  I  there- 
fore soon  began  to  tire  of  a  position  which  in-

BALTIMOEE,  MD.,  MAECH,  1911. 


Peice,  10  Cekts 


The  Ahnr.ni  Jdrisorij  Council  is  to  be  congratu- 
lated for  entering  upon  its  duties  with  so  much 
enthusiasm  and  getting  right  do^vn  at  once  to 
worjc.  The  appointment  of  committees  to  report 
upon  the  chemical  teaching  in  the  Dental  De- 
partment, the  condition  of  the  libraries,  the  no- 
menclature of  the  buildings,  etc.,  is  a  step  in 
the  right  direction,  and  should  lead  to  decisive 
results  of  value  in  these  and  other  fields. 

It  is  well,  however,  perhaps  to  utter  just  here 
a  word  or  two  of  caution.  Tact  is  necessary  in 
such  procedures  and  care  to  avoid  the  possible 
imputation  of  meddlesomeness.  Also  something 
more  is  called  for  than  merely  to  find  faults;  an 
earnest  desire  should  be  shown  to  correct  them 
and  to  be  helpful  to  the  authorities.  Especially 
should  caution  be  used  not  to  exaggerate  faults 
when  found.  It  is  only  by  close  and  cordial  co- 
operation between  the  alumni  and  the  Regents 
that  the  Council  can  be  of  use. 


The  renewed  attempt  to  obtain  a  share  in  the  gov- 
ernment of  th".  University  is  unwise  and  ill-judged 
and  will  subject  us  to  a  certain  and  second  re- 
fusal. The  Regents  have  told  us  very  politely, 
but  at  the  same  time  in  the  plainest  words,  that 
they  cannot  and  will  not  share  with  us  the  gov- 
erning power,  whilst  they  say  they  approve  and 
will  welcome  the  suggestions  and  recommend- 
ations of  "a  purely  advisory  council." 

It  was  with  extreme  surprise,  then,  we  con- 
fess, that  we  heard  the  Chairman  of  the  Council 
renew  the  "requests"  and  "recommendations" 
of  the  rejected  "Tentative  Plan,"  that  the  Coun- 
cil be  invested  with  governmental  authority  and 
the  right  to  vote  for  professors  (which  includes 
Regents).  The  Plan  of  the  Council  had  been  de. 
termined  for  us  by  the  General  Alumni  Associ- 
ation of  which  the  Council  is  a  mere  creature,  a 
mere  standing  committee.     What  right  has  the 


Council  to  undo  what  the  Association  has  done? 
The  latter  has  decided  that  the  Council  shall  be 
a  mere  "advisory"  body,  as  the  name  implies 
and  as  the  Regents  desire.  Advice  and  co- 
operation are  the  means  provided  by  the  Associ- 
ation for  the  use  of  the  council  and  the  latter 
should  adhere  to  these. 

It  is  to  be  regretted,  also,  that  before  the  vote 
of  the  Council  was  taken,  the  resolution  of  the 
Regents  was  not  read — it  was  called  for,  but  no 
one  had  it.  Several  of  those  present  were  not 
even  members  of  the  General  Alumni  Associ- 
ation, whilst  others  had  not  attended  the  meet- 
ings of  the  Association;  how  could  these  persons 
vote  intelligently  on  the  rejected  clauses? 


Did  or  did  not  the  Council  have  a  "Plan''  for 
its  government  when  it  met  for  organization  on 
Feb.  28?  It  clearly  did— a  definite  plan,  laid 
down  by  the  General  Alumni  Associatiou. 
Now,  the  "suggestions"  of  the  Chairman  practi- 
cally imply  that  there  was  no  Plan,  but  ask  the 
Regents  to  frame  one.  Is  not  that  the  effect  of 
the  request  to  grant  the  Couucil  authority  to  gov- 
ern, and  to  take  part  in  the  election  of  the  Re- 
gents and  professors?  It  is  the  business  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association,  not  of  the  Regents, 

to  devise  the  Plan  of  the  "Alumni  Council."" 

o — 

Finally,  a  word  in  regard  to  the  election  of 
professors,  in  which  the  Council  now  asks  to  hare 
a  share.  This  is  specificallj-  provided  for  in  the 
Charter  of  the  University.  Sec.  VIII  says, 
that  "Each  of  the  Faculties  shall  possess  the 
power  of  appointing  its  own  professors  and  lec- 
turers," and  no  other  way  for  doing  it  is  pro- 
vided. Now,  the  question  arises,  whether  any 
other  mode  of  appointment  would  be  valid ;  in 
other  words,  would  "professors"  elected  by  the 
votes  of  the  Council,  in  whole  or  in  part,  be  pro- 
fessors in  the  eye  of  the  law? 


34 


OLD  MARYLAND. 


The  language  of  the  Chairman's  "suggestions" 
was  peculiar:  "The  Council  requests  the  Re- 
gents to  urge  upon  the  Faculties  of  the  various 
departments,  that  in  filling  vacancies  in  profess- 
orships, the  Council  be  empowered  with  the 
riglit  of  approval  in  certain  ratio  of  votes  to  be 
agreed  upon  between  the  Faculties  and  the 
CouncU,  e.  g.,  one  vote  of  a  professor  shall  be 
counted  as  equal  to  one,  two,  three,  four,  or 
more  of  the  votes  of  the  Council. ''  How  absurd ! 
Request  the  Regents  to  urge  upon  themselves  to 
give  a  right  that  the  Charter  says  they  them- 
selves (in  their  capacity  of  "Professors")  alone 
shall  exercise,  and  which,  therefore,  they  have 
no  authority  to  give  away  1  In  the  rejected 
"Tentative  Plan,"  this  power  of  voting  was 
asked  from  the  Board  of  Regents;  in  the  "Sug- 
gestions," it  is  asked  from  "the  Faculties." 
. o 

It  is  one  of  the  strangest  phases  of  human  con- 
duct that  men  will  sometimes  elevate  to  the 
rank  of  a  hero  and  a  saint  tlie  most  abandoned 
villain  that  treads  upon  God's  earth.  Such  is 
the  case  with  that  cold-blooded  murderer,  that 
thief,  that  liar,  cheat  and  fraud — John  Brown. 
In  the  eyes  of  his  worshippers,  such  crimes  are 
only  "inconsistencies"  and  "contradictions" 
of  character,  that  can  be  brushed  aside  as  the 
mere  casual  accompaniments  of  true  greatness, 
the  rags  that  hide  the  beauty  and  grace  of  form 
beneath.  He  is  pronounced  illustrious,  pious, 
one  of  the  great  moral  forces  of  human  history, 
one  whose  rise  to  spiritual  greatness  is  almost 
without  precedent  in  history.  His  "noble  dig- 
nity" after  capture  is  portrayed,  and  ignoring 
the  fact  that  he  has  just  tried  to  incite  the  ignor-

ant  slaves  to  rise  and  slay  his  peaceful  fellow- 
citizens,  his  panegyrists  gloat  over  the  humanity 
with  which  he  "stoops  beneath  the  gallows  and 
tenderly  lifting  a  child  of  the  degraded  race, 
kisses  her  in  the  soft  winter  sun."  This  is  the 
character  that  a  teacher  of  history  is  said  to 
have  offered  to  his  students  here  as  an  object  for 
their  admiration  and  imitation!  Nor  was  he 
rebuked    for  doing  it. 

o 

Are  ur  goiiig  to  Vralbrool-  f  This  question  is 
often  asked,  is  there  anything  in  it  ? 

The  removal  of  the  University  from  its  pres- 
ent site  is  one  of  the  remotest  contingencies.  It 
would  take  a  vast  sum  of  money  to  accomplish 
it — hundreds  of  thousandsof  dollars.  Not  only 
should  we  require  an  adequate  site,  but  funds 
would  be  needed  for  new  buildings,  and  it  would 
hardly  be  wise  or  prudent  to  make  the  change  un- 
less there  were  in  hand  a  large,  independent  en- 
dowment fund,  such  an  amount  as  could  only 
come  froiu  some  generous  millionaire,  citzen  or 
— alumnus. 

We  are  a  poor,  a  very  poor,  institution.  Our 
present  site  is  far  from  ideal,  and  changes  are 
taking  place  which  render  our  surroundings  less 
and  le.=s  agreeable.  We  are  also  much  crowded 
and  property  around  us  is  high.  But  \veha\e 
sixteen  buildings  and  we  own  the  ground  on 
which  they  stand.  These  are  strong  ties  to  bind 
us  where  we  are. 

Another  phase  of  the  question  is  suggested  by 
the  nature  of  our  institution.  We  are  a  collec- 
tion of  professional  schools:  St.  John's  is  per- 
manently seated  at  Annapolis  and  does  not  come 
into  consideration.  Now,  professional  schools 
must  be  down  in  the  centre  of  the  city,  where 
there  can  l^e  abundant  clinics  for  the  medical 
and  dental  students,  and  where  the  law  students, 
who  are  necessarily  gathered  about  the  courts 
and  large  trust  companies,  and  the  pharmacy 
students,  who  are  employed  in  the  drug  houses, 
can  have  quick  and  convenient  access  to  lec- 
tures. 

We  may  therefore  dismiss  from  our  minds  the 
idea  of  a  removal,  as  a  dream  which  may  be  in- 
dulged in  as  an  innocent  fancy  but  is  not  to  be 
realized.  As  we  must  remain  on  Lombard  st., 
it  is  consoling  to  know  that  we  can  carry  on  our 
work  here  creditably — perhaps  for  manj',  many 
years.

Mr.  Marbury  always  has  something  good  to  say 
and  says  it  well  and  effectively.  In  his  address 
before  the  Civil  Service  Reform  Ass  )ciation,  the 
other  day,  he  called  attention  to  the  ignorance 
of  our  citizens  regarding  the  proposed  merit  sys- 
tem in  appointment  to  public  office.  He  pro- 
nounced the  plan  for  the  application  of  that  sys- 
tem to  the  municipal  government  of  Baltimore, 
which  has  been  embodied  in  the  new  Charter, 
most  excellent  and  practicable  and  suggested  that 
every  effort  be  made  to  secure  its  submission  by 
the  Legislature  and  its  adoption  by  the  people. 

We  agree  entirely  with  our  colleague  as  to  the 
great  need  of  this  reform  measure.  There  are 
several  thousand  men  employed  by  the  city,  and 
the  tenure  of  their  office  should  not  be  subject 
to  political  influence  and  change.  Fitness  and 
efficiency  alone  should  be  the  test. 

This  is  a  matter  of  vast  concern  to  our  citi- 
zens, involving  the  stability,  the  economy,  the 
efficiency  of  our  government.  There  is  every 
reason  to  think  our  people  do  not  understand  it. 
What  better  way  then  is  there  fur  the  Reform 
Association  to  accomplish  the  work  it  has  under- 
taken than  by  enlightening  the  people  on  it.  And 
we  suggest  that  an  efficient  way  to  do  it  would 
be  by  a  series  of  addresses  before  the  students 
and  faculties  of  our  universities  and  colleges. 
Let  Mr.  Bonaparte,  Mr.  Marbury,  Mr.  Rey- 
nolds, and  others  of  the  able  gentlemen  com- 
prising the  Association,  organize  such  a  course,  at 
once;  we  will  welcome  them  to  this  university 
and  promise  them  a  large  and  interested  audience.

acquired  from  the  cuneiform  tablets  of  the  for- 
mer and  the  papyii  of  the  latter  being  incorpo- 
r;  t;d  in  the  text. 

Nothing  is  finer  in  (he  whole  book  than  the 
sections  on  Hippocrates  and  Galen,  with  whom 
the  author  deals  with  great  clearness  and  in  a 
masterly  fashion.  The  figure  of  the  former 
looms  up  througli  the  centuries,  grandly  Imt 
dimly,  under  the  skillful  strokes  of  the  author, 
dominating  his  age  and  furnishing  us  with  an 
ideal  that  will  live  throughout  all  time. 

The  style  is  fresh  and  inspiring  and  the  read- 
er's attention  is  riveted  to  the  end.  The  gen- 
eral narrative  is  given  in  large  type,  while  the 
details  are  reserved  for  the  small  type,  an  ar- 
rangement that  is  most  helpful  and  pleasing. 
The  printing,  etc.,  needs  no  comment,  as  the 
excellence  of  the  Oxford  publications  is  well 
known.  The  expense  of  the  work  is  consider- 
able— .$9  for  tliis  volume  alone — but  its  excel- 
lence is  such  that  one  is  well  repaid  for  the  ex- 
pense.    Every  reading  doctor,  who  can  afford  it, 

should  have  this  book.

John  Henry  Skeen,  Esq.,

Baltimore,  Md. ; 
Dear  Sir: 

Your  letter  of  17th  rec'd.  Am  enclosing  list 
of  names  which  may  help  toward  adding  to 
the  Alumni  Association.  You  will,  of  course, 
appreciate  what  a  difficult  task  it  would  be  to 
get  in  touch  with  every  alumnus,  since  I  have 
not,  in  my  possession,  a  complete  list  of  gradu- 
ates or  addresses.  My  acquaintance  is  limited 
almost  to  the  members  of  my  own  class.  There 
undoubtedly  are  a  great  number  of  alumni  of 
U.  of  M.  in  New  England.  Think  they're  mostly 
medical  and  dental,  few,  if  any,  of  Law  and 
Pharmacy.  If  it  were  possible  to  get  these  to- 
gether, am  sure  a  fairly  strong  branch  could  be 
organized. 

Another  idea  came  to  my  mind  lately  in  regard 
to  stimulating  enthusiasm  among  undergradu- 
ates.    The  various  fraternities  at  the  University

keep  a  more  or  less  correct  list  of  graduates  of 
their  various  chapters  through  monthly  or  quar- 
terly pamphlets  or  other  forms  of  publication, 
and  from  time  to  time  this  form  of  directorj'  is 
altered  in  accordance  with  change  of  address. 
Now,  if  it  were  possible  to  meet  representatives 
of  active  chapters  of  every  fraternity,  compile 
their  lists  and    impress   upon   them    collectively 


them.  Am  positive  that  during  '09  and  '10 
there  were  many  wlio  seldom  or  never  even  heard 
mention  of  the  name  "Alumni  Association." 
So  that  it  can  be  easily  seen  that  the  very  few 
interested  lost  what  little  interest  they  might 
have  had. 

The  earnest  co-operation  of  every  active  frater- 
nity is  bound  to  do  a  great  deal  of   good,  since

the  merits  of  the  Alumni  Association,  it  seems 
that  they  will  have  been  aroused  to  full  realiza- 
tion, and  upon  graduation  might  be  more  easily 
approached . 

Am  certain  if  the  undergradua!c  body  is 
brought  into  more  close  and  intimnte  relations 
with  the  Alumni  Association  before  finishing 
their  course.^,  the  importance  of  the  organization,. 
in  that  manner,    is   more   forcibly   pictured   to 


collectively  they  comprise  almost  60%  of  the  en- 
tire student  body,  and  are  mostly  made  up  of 
the  "workers." 

Alumni  Associations,  as  you  may  know,  in 
most  universities,  act  in  an  advisory  capacity 
to  all  of  the  classes  and  institute  or  recommend 
policies  in  class  and  athletic  matters,  etc.,  which 
with  very  rare  exceptions,  are  quickly  endorsed 
by    the    undergraduate    body,    who   usually  are 


OLt)  MARYiiANt). 


St 


quite  ready  to  act  favorably  upon  their  sugges- 
tions and  advice. 

While  at  the  U.  of  M.  personally  I  had  the 
experience  of  thoroughly  appreciating  how  ditii- 
cult  athletic  management  was  without  an 
"alumni"  advisory  board  or  association.  Indi- 
vidualism has  always  been  more  or  less  apparent, 
usually  it  has  been  necessary  in  order  to  keep 
things  moving. 

Athletics,  as  you  may  know,  encourages  and 
"livens  up"  many  a  "sleeper,"  and  although  it 
is  not  expected  that  the  faculties  further  and 
support  them,  the  Alumni  Association  becomos 
the  governing  factor  and  in  that  way  becomes  a 
mighty  close  associate  of  the  undergraduate 
while  he  is  in  school.  These  associations  start 
the  undergraduate  to  realize  what  strength  and 
power  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  school  has, 
and  upon  graduation  it's  a  great  likelihood  that 
he'll  stick. 

If  it  were  possible  that  every  Faculty  request 
every  class  to  follow  out  principles  and  sugges- 
tions obtained  from  the  Alumni  Association, 
spirit  would  be  generated  and  unity  would  re- 
sult. 

Will  close,  wishing  the   Association   all  sorts 
of  luck  an  1  growing  numbers. 
Very  truly, 

CoNii.\D  F.   Rei.man.

My  dear  Prof.  Cordell : 

Your  letter  reached  me  some  time  ago  and 
am  very  sorry  not  to  reply  at  once.  I  have  been 
busy  in  my  work  and  in  correspondence  to  most 
of  my  friends,  both  in  this  country  and  abroad, 
to  whom  I  should  have  written  a  long  time  ago. 

As  to  Dr.  T.  Rassy  il902),  I  found  all  details 
you  wanted  were  published  in  the  Hospital  Bulle- 
tin and  I  am  sure  you  are  well  posted  on  them. 
I  may  add  that  the  man  who  killed  Dr.  Kassy 
threw  himself  in  the  river  while  he  was  being 
taken  to  trial  and  drowned. 

I  enjoy  both  Old  Maryland  and  the  Bulletin 
much  and  am  glad  to  hear  that  everything  in 
our  Alma  Mater  is  going  on  nicely.  I  will  en- 
deavor to  play  my  part  in  the  endowniLMit  qucs-

tion  in  this  country.  We  have  been  enjoying 
very  fine  weather  this  winter.  AVe  hardly  had 
any  rain,  only  showers  every  now  and  then,  but 
a  splendid  sunlight.  It  is  only  this  week  that 
we  had  a  storm  followed  by  a  severe  rain,  but 
now  it  is  again  clear.  I  do  not  know  where  Dr. 
Nagib  Kenawy  is  located — probably  in  Alex- 
andria. 

I  long  to  see  Baltimore  again.  I  cannot  forget 
the  nice  time  I  had  there.  The  Lexington 
street  display  of  the  fair  sex  on  Saturday  eve- 
nings is  something  that  is  never  to  be  for- 
gotten . 

I  suppose  I  should  close,  for  I  am  afraid  I  am 
getting  childish  again — isn't  that  so? 

Kindly  give  my  regards  to  Dr.  Coale,  Prof.

Dear  Doctor: 

Enclosed  herewith,  is  a  promise  of  $25.00  for 
the  endowment  fund  of  the  Department  of  Phar- 
macy, together  with  the  first  payment  of  $5.00. 
I  wish  I  were  able  to  make  it  much  more. 

For  some  time  I  have  been  thinking  and  ask- 
ing myself  whether  one's  duty  to  his  Alma 
Mater  was  ended  by  receiving  a  diploma  and  I 
have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  we  cannot  do 
too  much  for  her,  either  in  a  money  way  or  by 
other  help.  Our  department  is  the  third  oldest 
in  the  country,  and  as  far  as  efficiency  of  the 
course  and  the  teachers  are  concerned,  I  do  not 
think  it  is  second  to  any. 

Cannot  we  pharmacists  get  together  and  do 
SDmething  for  our  department?  It  is  time  for 
us  to  get  started  or  the  other  departments  will 
get  away  ahead  of  us. 

I  am  for  the  U.  of   M.  for  all    that  is  in   me. 
Who  joins  me  in  this  sentiment? 
Fraternally  yours,

Eugene  F.  Cordell: 
Dear  Doctor: 

Yolir  postal  rec'd.  this  morning.  Of  course  I 
want  to  renew  my  subscription  to  Old  Maryland. 
How  could  I  do  without  it!  I  am  proud  of  it. 
Proud  of  the  old  institution  it  represents. 
Proud  that  I  am  an  alumnus.  It  is  certainly 
gratifying  to  me,  to  hear  a  patient,  who  lias 
been  looking  through  Old  Maryland,  exclaim: 
"Why,  Doctor,  you  are  a  graduate  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland;  that's  a  great  school!" 
And  it  is  great;  greater  than  any  of  us  realize. 
And  I  believe  it  i?  on  the  threshold  of  still 
greater  greatness.  No,  I  don't  want  to  be  with- 
out Old  Maryland.  It  brings  back  to  me  the 
many,  many,  happy,  hard-working  University 
days.  And  I  often  just  knock  off  twenty-four 
years,  and  go  down  Greene  street  and  sit  again 
on  the  hard,  hard  old  benches  of  my  days  at 
school.  I  can  hear  again  the  voices  of  those 
teachers  we  loved  so  well,  many  of  whom  have 
gone  to  their  reward:  Drs.  Michael,  Atkinson, 
Harris  and  others.  I  am  not  a  dreamer,  but  I 
do  often  dream  of  those  days  we  thought  so  hard, 
so  dull,  and  wish  a  thousand  times  that  I  could 
live  them  over  again.  I  want  Old  M.\ryland; 
I  want  every  issue.  I  send  you  my  check  and  I 
hope  you  will  keep  me  posted  when  my  subscrip- 
tion expires. 

With  regards  to  you  and  your  efforts ;  and  to  our 
beloved  institution,  which  we  all  love,  a  million 
thanks  for  what  it  has  done  for  me, 

I  am  sincerely  and  fraternally  yours, 

Edward  E.  P.  Sleppy,  D.  D.  S.

Our  Associate  Editor,   E.  II.  MrBride,  A.  B., 

Prosidentot'  the  Senior  Law  Class,  has  gotten  up 

a  very  neat  "Skeleton"  on  Pleading  and  Practice 

for  tlie  use  of  students.       It  embraces   24   pages, 

and  will  prove  a  useful  aid   to   those  attencling 

Professor  France's  lectures.     The   conclusion  of 

the  whole  matter  is  that  "all  pleadings  should  be

practice  here.  I  hold  office  as  Medical  Inspector 
to  the  City  Health  Department,  and  am  also  en-

Our  attention  has  been  c;illed  to  the  fact  that 

the  University  of   Maryland    does    not  occur    in 

the  table  of  contents  of   the  San  Almanac   for 

1911.     The  only  mention  of  it  in  the  volume  is  in 

the  list  of  libraries  and    in  the   advertisement. 

Another    institution    "of    the    same    class"    has 

three  notices!     In  this  connection,  we  also  recall 

that  Mr.  Grasty  refused  several  times  to  see  our 

delegation  in  the  recent  canvass  for  endowment.

The  question  has  arisen  as  to  priority  in  clinical 
teaching  in  this  country,  by  the  publication  in 
the  Journal  of  the  American  Medical  Asgociatioa  of 
Feb.  25,  of  the  following  "extraordinary  state- 
ment" by  Professor  H.  A.  Hare,  of  Philadelphia: 
"As  a  matter  of  historical  fact,  Jefferson  Medi- 
cal College  was  the  first  medical  institution  in 
America.to  establish  clinical  teaching." 

Now,  "clinical  teaching"  is  as  o'd  in  this 
country  ns  medical  colleges.  At  the  viTy  be- 
ginning of  the  Philadelphia  Medical  College 
(Univ.  of  Penna.),  we  find  that  such  instruc- 
tion was  given  the  students  in  the  Pennsylvania 
Hospital.  Tiie  first  medical  diploma — that  of 
John  Archer,  of  Md.  ( 1768) — is  signed  by  Tiiomag 
Bond,  Collegii  et  Academ.  Curator  et  Pnrlec.  Clin- 
icus"  (Clinical  Lecturer),  with  the  following  en- 
dorsement: ^'Fidem  facio  ]'irum  ornatum  Jonn- 
nem  Archer  P  reelect  io  nib  us  Cliniri  ct  Pra.ri  in  ?\oso- 
comio  Philadelphiense  ct  Frurtm  Diligeyitix  sux 
uherrime  consecutum  fui-i  se.  ' 

The  younger  Wiesenthal,  of  Baltimore,  de- 
scribes these  clinics  in  letters  to  his  father,  while 
a  medical  student  in  Philadelphia,  and  the  elder 
Wiesenthal  (a  most  competent  judge)  writes 
highlj'  of  Bond's  qualifications  for  the  task. 
The  medical  histories  show  that  the  Philadelphia 
clinics  were  "rich  and  abundant"  (see  Packard 
and  Mum  ford). 

Nor  were  the  Boston,  New  York  and  Balti- 
more schools  without  their  clinics.  The  clinical 
material  of  New  York  Hospital  was  at  the  dis- 
posal of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons 
from  1807  on,  and  Massachusetts  General  Hos- 
pital iii  Boston  was  opened  in  1821.  In  Balti- 
more, during  tln^  pe'lod  from  1807  to  1823, 
clinical  lectures  were  given  by    Davidge,  Potter,

ophthalmogist,  and  others,  at  the  Maryland 
Hospital,  on  Broadway,  at  the  0ity  Almshouse 
Hospital,  at  the  head  of  Howard  st.  and  at  Dr. 
Gibson's  private  hospital. 

"As  a  matter  of  historical  fact,"  however,  the 
first  medical  school  in  the  countrj'  to  have  its 
own  hospital,  was  the  Department  of  Medicine 
of  the  University  of  Maryland.  This  was 
opened  on  the  20th  of  September,  1823,  in  a 
building  just  across  the  street  from  the  medical 
college,  specially  erected  for  the  purpose.  It 
had  at  first  four  wards,  one  being  for  diseases  of 
the  eye. 

From  the  beginning  to  the  present  time,  it 
has  fulfilled  all  the  functions  enumerated  by 
Professor  Hare,  being  absolutely  under  the  con- 
trol of  the  medical  faculty,  who  alone  consti 
tute  its  attending  physicians  and  surgeons.  It 
is  not  an  affiliated  institution,  but  part  and  par- 
cel of  the  teaching  plant.  In  other  words,  to 
be  elected  professors  of  medicine,  therapeutics  or 
surgery  in  the  University  of  Maryland,  means 
(and  always  has  meant)  that  a  man  is  thereby 
elected  physician  or  surgeon  to  University  Hos- 
pital. Continuing  the  application  of  the  lan- 
guage of  Professor  Hare:  If  therefore,  the 
principle  of  having  an  active  hospital  as  a  part 
of  a  thoroughly  equipped  medical  school  is  to 
be  given  a  specific  name,  I  can  see  no  reason,  in 
view  of  priority  and  completeness,  why  it  should 
not  be  called  the  "University  of  Maryland  idea" 
or  the  "Baltimore  idea,"  rather  than  the  ".Jef- 
ferson Medical  College  idea"  or  the  "Philadel- 
phia idea." 

The  present  condition  of  University  Hospital 
may  be  judged  from  the  report  of  Mr.  Abraham 
Fle-^ner,  of  the  Carnegie  Foundation,  certainly 
no  friendly  critic.  He  says:  "It"  (the  Medi- 
cal School)  "has  an  excellent  hospital  just 
across  the  street  from  the  laboratory  buildings, 
which  is  under  its  sole  and  complete  control ;  the 
hospital  records  are  well  kept,  senior  students 
serving  as  clinical  assistants;  a  separate  mater- 
nity ward  furnishes  obstetrical  work  in  abund- 
ance, and  the  dispensary  is  large,  properly 
equipped  and  well  kept"  (pp.  107,  236).

Jefferson  Medical  College  was  founded  in  1824, 
but  the  course  of  lectures  did  not  begin  until  the 
fall  of  1825.  I  have  seen  somewhere  a  state- 
ment by  the  late  Professor  Samuel  D.  Gross, 
similar  to  that  of  Professor  Hare,  that  Jefferson 
College  was  the  first  in  this  country  to  establish 
a  college  hospital,  which  it  did  in  1825! 

There  is  one  other  point  I  would  like  to  men- 
tion. The  claim  has  been  made  for  Johns  Hop- 
kins, that  it  inaugurated  the  system  of  ward 
clinics  in  this  country.  That  is  also  an  error. 
Ward  clinics  have  been  a  constant  feature  in 
University  Hospital  from  the  beginning.  In 
my  day  as  a  student  (1866-69),  crowds  attended 
the  professors  in  their  daily  rounds  through  the 
hospital,  in  which  we  learned  how  to  examine 
patients,  to  test  urine,  to  apply  dressings  and 
even  to  use  the  obstetric  forceps,  etc.  My  thesis 
was  based  on  a  case  thus  studied.  This  service 
has  been  much  systematised  and  improved  and 
is  now  similar  to  that  of  the  best  hospitals,  in- 
cluding the  .Johns  Hopkins. 

The  alumni  of  the  University  of  Maryland 
have  much  to  be  proud  of  in  its  career,  and  it 
is  remarkable  that  on  such  slender  resources  it 
has  been  able  to  accomplish  so  much.  To  enu- 
merate some  of  the  more  important  things  it 
has  done:  founding  the  first  medical  college 
liraryb  (1813:  now  numbers  11000  vols.) ;  first 
college  hospital  (1823:  now  265  beds);  first 
course  of  lectures  on  dentistry  (1837);  first  in- 
dependent chair  of  pharmacy  (1844).  It  was 
the  first  to  make  dissection  compulsory  (1833) 
and  it  took  part  with  the  other  Baltimore  schools 
in  founding  the  American  Medical  College  Asso- 
ciation (the  initiation  of  which  great  movement 
was  taken  by  a  member  of  its  present  medical 
faculty).  All  fair-minded  men  must  agree  with 
Professor  William  Osier,  that  the  Carnegie  Re- 
port did  not  give  credit  and  appreciation  enough 
to  the  work  that  it  has  done,  and  that  it  deserves 

to  succeed.

P.  M.,  the  following  being  present:  C.  J. 
Flowers,  Frank  N.  Garverick,  H.  C.  Stover,  of

Shippensburg.  Letters  of  greeting  and  good 
wishes  were  received  from  the  General  Alumni 
Association,  the  District  of  Columbia  Branch 
and  the  Editor  of  Old  Maryland,  all  of  which 
were  much  appreciated.  The  following  officers 
were  elected  for  1911:  President,  Dr.  Charles  P. 
Noble;  Vice-President,  Dr.  George  C.  Kinard; 
Sec.-Treas.,  Dr.  J.  C.  C.  Beale.  Philadelphia 
was  selected  for  the  next  annual  meeting.  Ban-

and  Drs.  Clawson  and  Wm.  Mathews,  of   Phila. 

At  9  o'clock  the  guests  sat  down  to  a  hand- 
some dinner — one  of  the  items  of  which,  as  we 
note  by  the  menu,  was  "P.  B.  G.  A.  A.  Punch" 
— at  the  close  of  which  an  address  was  delivered 
by  Professor  John  C.  Hemmeter,  who  chose  for 
his  subject,  "The  Biology  of  Genius."  In  the 
course  of  his  remarks,  the  speaker  took  occasion 
to  arraign  those  having  the  distribution  of  the 
great  funds  given  for  the  advancement  of  educa- 
tion, for  their  injustice  to  the  colleges  and  uni- 
versities of  the  South,  the  great  bulk  of  these 
funds  being  given  to  Northern  universities  and 
rich  institutions  which  do  not  need  them.  The 
University  of  Maryland  has  received  absolutely 
nothing.

At  last  the  Library  has  been  furnished  witli  a 
Maryland  Dige«t.  This  Avork  has  paid  for  itself 
several  times  in  the  few  weeks  it  has  l)een  used. 
The  only  difficulty  connected  with  it  is  that  we 
have  only  one  sat  and  this  is  in  such  great  de- 
mand that  .many  are  inconvenienced.  We  should 
have  another  set.  And  this  is  no  idle  extrava- 
gance; it  is  plain  simple  necessity,  as  anyone 
will  testify  who  comes  to  the  Library. 

The  remark  has  been  made  that  a  student  is 
likely  to  look  up  referred  cases  in  the  Digest  and 
not  go  to  the  Reports.  There  is  some  truth  in 
this,  but  it  will  be  done  so  seldom  that  it  will 
not  deserve  notice.  And  this  will  be  true,  since 
one  who  has  interest  enough  to  look  them  up  in 
the  Digest,  will  have  thoroughness  enough  to  go 
to  the  Reports,  and  he  will  go  to  the  Digest  to 
get  the  general  principle,  with  its  variations  and 
exceptions,  running  througli  a  number  of  cases. 
And  none  can  say  tiiat  tliis  is  not  a  proper  and 
legitimate  use.      We  should  have  another  Digest. 

All  the  Seniors  are  working  hard  on  the  prep- 
aration of  tlieir  theses.  Many  have  been  working 
on  them  for  some  time,  sweating  in  honest  toil; 
others  have  been  lying  in  the  calm  repose  of 
fancied  security,  waiting  fur  the  magical  inspira- 
tion. The  subject  is,  "The  present  consequences 
in  Maryland  Law  (substantive  and  procedural) 
of  the  distinction  between  sealed  and  unsealed 
instruments  with  suggestions  for  abolishing  the 
distinctions."  It  is  a  timely  subject  but  a  very 
dilhcult  one  as  it  covers  and  is  interwoven  with 
practically  all  of  the  law.  The  theses  must  be 
completed  by  the  first  Monday  in  April;  but  it 
i-3  doubtful  if  many  will  be  done  by  that  time  as 
the  subject  is  so  broad  and  requires  so  much  re- 
search and  consideration.  Then,  too,  tliere  are 
those  who  work  during  the  day  and  can  only 
work  upon  the  thesis  in  the  Library  at  night. 
By  the  time  he  gets  there  it  is  eight  o'clock  or 
after  and  how  late  can  he  stay  ?  Till  ten  o'clock. 
Evidently  there  lias  been  a  new  rule  promulgated. 

It  was  not  always  so.  But  now,  when  it  is 
not  convenient,  but  absolutely  necessan/  that  we 
have  time  and  opportunity  to  work  on  the  thesis, 
we  hear  tliat  tlie  Library  must  be  closed  at  ten 
o'clock.     The    question    that   at  once  arises,  is,

why  ?  Is  there  any  possible  reason  for  not 
allowing  the  Library  to  be  open  until  eleven 
o'clock  or  half-past,  especially  j during  this 
month?  After  this  task  is  done  it  does  not 
matter  so.  much.  Nevertheless  there  is  no  reason 
for  closing  the  Library  at  ten  o'clock,  at  which 
early  hour,  students,  no  matter  how  busy  or 
how  deeply  engrossed  in  their  work,  must  leave 
We  ask  to  be  allowed  the  use  of  the  Library 
until  eleven  o'clock.  And  we  ask  nothing  un- 
reasonable in  this  as  eleven  o'clock  is  the  usual 
hour  for  closing  any  Library  that  is  used  much. 

The  Faculty  have  done  wisely  in  engaging  the 
services  of  Mr.  Want,  a  graduate  of  the  Law 
School  and  member  of  the  Bar,  to  instruct  the 
students  in  the  selection  and  use  of  books  and 
authorities.  Mr.  Want  is  at  the  Library  from  1 
o'clock  till  8  o'clock  every  day.  He  has  com- 
pletely re-arranged  the  books  in  the  Library  and 
has  been  of  great  assistance  to  the  students  in 
finding  authorities.  His  advice,  too,  has  been 
extremely  helpful,  and  we  take  this  opportunity 
of  expressing  our  appreciation. 

The  plan  of  having  a  Lecturer  in  attendance 
at  the  Library  every  night  has  been  in  operation 
for  about  a  month.  Theoretically,  the  scheme 
is  excellent.  It  is,  however,  too  early  to  judge 
of  the  use  the  students  will  make  of  this  op- 
portunity. It  does  not  seem  to  have  been 
availed  of  much  up  to  date.  Judge  Gorter  is 
going  to  make  practical  use  of  his  night  by  giv- 
ing his  students  a  quiz  on  Equity.  This  is  an 
excellent  idea  an  1  will  be  of  greater  benefit  to 
the  students  than  any  other  use  to  which  the 
evening  could  be  put.  If  each  professor  would 
give  his  students  a  quiz  on  his  night,  the  system 
it  seems  to  the  writer,  would  be  of  great  value. 
So  far  as  assisting  students  in  the  library  and 
answering  chance  questions  is  concerned,  this 
could  be  and  now  mostly  is  done  very  ably  by 
Mr.  Want,  who  is  at  the  lil)rary  from  one  o'clock 
to  eight.  The  utilization  by  the  Lecturer  of  the 
two  hours  from  eight  to  ten  in  a  quiz  would  be 
little  or  no  practical  inconvenience  to  other 
students  than  those  attending  the  quiz.  Con- 
sidering, therefore,  this  method  of  spending  the 
evening  from  (he  standpoint  of  the  greatest 
benefit  to  the  most  students,  we  most  heartily 
endorse  it. 

The  Senior  Class  has  arranged  for  gowns  for 
graduation  and  has  also    determined   to    have   a

Rumors  have  been  going  around  of  holding  a 
dance  soon  but  it  is  difficult  to  say  whether  they 
will   materialize. 

An  enthusiastic  boom  has  begun  for  Judge 
Gorter  as  Governor.  The  Judge  is  our  Lecturer 
on  Evidence  and  Equity  and  is  held  in  the  high- 
est regard  by  all  the  students.  Here's  to  the 
hope  that  he  will  be  our  next  Governor.  The 
voters  of  this  Commonwealth  would  do  honor  to 
themselves  by  electing  a  man  of  his  ability  and 
strength  of  character  to  steer  them  through

DEPARTMENT  OF  DENTISTRY. 

We  note  in  a  recent  issue  of  an  evening  paper 
that  the  Uni verity  Alumni  Advisory  Council  is 
going  to  sjggest  to  the  Regents  the  advisability 
of  a  chemical  laboratory  for  the  liental  depart- 
ment. The  department  would  surely  welcome 
this  laboratory,  as  a  knowledge  of  the  funda- 
mentals of  chemistry  is  not  sufficient  for  a  den- 
tist. It  is  a  w^ell-known  fact  that  the  profession 
to-day  is  in  the  hands  of  the  manufacturers  and 
that  dentists  are  constantly  using  proprietary 
drug  compounds  and  remedial  agents,  of  the 
composition  of  which  they  are  ignorant.  Unless 
they  have  a  working  knowledge  of  analytical 
and  synthetical  chemistry  they  will  never  be 
able  to  bring  about  improvement  otherwise  than 
through  the  agency  of  dental  manufacturers. 
We  do  not  object  to  the  manufacturers  making 
instruments,  but  our  remedial  agents  must  come 
from  our  own  hands;   nor  do  we   want   them    to

write  our  prescriptions.  The  dental  school  wor- 
thj'  of  the  name  must  teach  by  the  laboratory 
and  clinics  more  tlian  by  the  rostrum,  since  re- 
search, and  investigation  are  tlie  pas3-^yords  of 
scientific  importation  of  knowledge. 

Professor  Gorgas  has  appeared  in  his  office 
again  after  his  illness,  with  that  same  amount  of 
vim  and  ^^igor,  which  has  characterized  all  his 
life's  work.  We  know  Dr.  Gorgas  as  the  grand 
old  man  of  dentistry.  It  was  he  who  stood  in 
the  halls  of  Congress  and  proved  that  the  pro- 
fession's knowledge  and  capibilitj^  were  worth 
more  than  its  mechanical  skill.  The  text- books 
of  Dr.  Gorgas  were  the  leading  books  of  the 
profession,  and  even  though,  in  the  last  decade 
or  two,  the  market  has  been  Hooded  by  an  enor- 
mous mass  of  dental  IJleraturc,  yet  they  remain 
as  monuments  of  original  I'e.-earcb.  So  we  wel- 
come him  back  and  trust  to  see  him  at  his  desk 
for  manj'  days  to  come. 

Professor  Davis  and  Dr.  W.  A.  Rea  liave  lie- 
gun  a  series  of  clinics  in  the  Senior  Class.  This 
class  is  completing  the  year's  work  successfully, 
and  ii  should  be  remembered  by  its  membei'S 
that,  as  prize  day  is  approaching  rapidly,  there 
should  be  a  large  number  of  contestants.  At 
least  half  the  class  should  enter  the  contest  for 
prizes  and  endeavor  to  master  a  knowledge  of 
that  for  which  they  enter  the  contest;  and  it 
does  not  hurt  any  one  to  tr;/. 

Sometime  during  March,  (here  will  be  another 
theatre  party  for  the  benefit  of  the  base- ball 
team.  The  base-ball  record  of  the  university 
athletics  is  such  that  this  effort  should  be  iicart- 
ily  patronized,  both  by  instructors  and  students. 

There  is  a  movement  on  foot  to  raise  a  fund  for 
the  purpose  of  having  a  bronze  bust  of  the  late 
Professor  Harris  made  by  Mr.  Schouler,  the 
sculptor.     Mr.  S.  was  a  patient  of  the  Doctor's. 

It  is  probable  that  the  books  of  Dr.  Harris 
will  be  presented  to  the  University  library  by 
his  family  to  form  a  nucleus  for  a  large  dental 
collection.  Already  the  library  possesses  a  num- 
ber of  valuable  works  on  this  subject  and  also 
receives  several  current  journals.         F.  J.   W

Smoker,  given  by  the  Faculty  and  Adjunct  Faculty 
in  the  Law  Building,  on  the  evening  of  Feb.  25, 
1911.  Dr.  I.  .J.  Spear  was  chairman.  Needless 
t3  say,  a  very  enjoyable  evening  was  spent  by  all 
tliose  present. 

Drs.  A.  M.  Shipley  and  I.  .1.  Spear  spoke  of 
the  difficulties  and  trials  which  the  j'oung  prac-

Winslow,  G.  Timberlake,  .J.  W.  Holland,  .fas. 
M.  Craighill  and  A.  H.  Carroll. 

Several  of  the  members  of  the  Senior  Class 
afforded  much  amusement  by  giving  impersona- 
tions of  some  of  the  Faculty.  A  quartette  of 
negro  musicians  with  a  negro  buck  dancer  helped 
to  enliven  the  occasion.

Professors  R.  Dorsey  Coale  and  Randolph 
Winslow  attended  a  meeting  of  the  American 
Medical  College  Association  held  in  Chicago,  Feb. 
28-]Mar.  2,  as  delegates  of  this  School.  The 
only  important  action  taken  was  to  do  away  with 
conditional  entrance  examinations.  After  .Jan. 
1,  1912,  all  Freshmen,  on  entering  college,  will 
be  required'  to  submit  to  complete  examination 
on  all  subjects. 

Mr.  George  Y.  Massenburg,  of  the  Senior 
Class,  has  received  an  appointment  as  interne  at 
the  Church  Home  and  Infirmary,  Baltimore, 
after  a  competitive  examination.  He  will  enter 
upon  his  duties  Sept.  1. 

Mumps  is  prevalent  among  the  freshmen  of

said  one- third  of  the  class  is  affected.

students  at  the  University  Hospital  have  been  on

is  said  the  cause  of  complaint  is  overwork,  and 
consequent  insufficient  time  for  study.

It  was  announced  that,  of  the  original  mem- 
bers, Wilnier  Brinton  (M),  Lawrason  Riggs  (L), 
Sam'l  J.  Harmon  (L),  and  George  '\^'eems  Wil-

of  the  G.  A.  A.  had  appointed  Jos.  W.  Holland, 
W.  B.  Levj,  Thos.  Mackenzie  and  J.  H.  Skeen, 
respectively,  to  fill  the  vacancies. 

On  the  suggestion  of  the  President,  the  follow- 
ing paragraphs  from  the  rejected  tcnialivc  pLni 
slightly  modified  (see  Dec.  Old  Maryland,  p. 
147),  wcic  adopted:  "The  Alumni  Advisciy 
Council  of  the  University  of  Maryland  earnestly 
hope  that  it  will  not  be  regarded  as  a  purely  i-ug- 
gestive  bodj',  and  hereby  requests  that  the  Honor- 
able Board  of  Regents  invest  the  Council  wiili 
authority,  limited  in  such  a  way  as  the  Board  ol 
Regents  may  decide,  in  return  fur  which  tliey 
declare  themselves  willing  to  fullill  any  duties 
the  Regents  may  see  fit  to  assign." 

"The  Council  furthermore  requests  the  Re- 
gents to  urge  upon  the  Faculties  of  the  various 
departments,  that,  in  filling  vacancies  in  profes- 
sorships, the  Council  be  empowered  with  the  right 
of  approval  in  a  certain  ratio  of  votes,  to  be 
agreed  upon  between  the  Faculties  and  the 
Council,  e.  g.,  one  vote  of  a  professor  shall  lie 
counted  as  equal  to  one,  two,  three,  four  or 
more  of  the  voles  of  the  Council." 

It  was  then  moved  and  adopted  that  tlie 
Board  of  Regents  be  informed  that  the  Council 
was  duly  organized  and  ready  for  business. 
On  motion  of  Mr.  Dawkins,  it  was  further 
directed:  "That  in  addition  to  the  above  noti- 
fication, the  Secretary  notify  the  Secretary  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association,  to  send  also  to  the 
Board  of  Regents,  the  plan  under  which  the 
Alumni  Advisory  Council  was  organized,  to- 
gether with  the  resolution  just  adopted;  to  be 
presented  to  the  Board  of  Regents  by  the  Presi- 
dent, accompanied  by  such  members  of  the

Dr.  IN.  Winslow  called  attention  to  certain 
needs  and  deficiences  in  the  University,  where- 
upon the  following  motions  were  adopted: 

1.  That  one  from  each  department  be  ap-

As  our  nation  grows  in  wealth  and  prosperity

in  our  churches  and  in  business.  That  doom  is

When  a  m:i;i  re.luces  his  charities  he  takes 
something  of  the  load  from  his  own  shoulders 
and  puts  it  on  tlie  shoulders  of  the  weak,  the 
sick,  the  friendless,  the  unfortunate.  Above  all 
he  puts  it  in  many  cases  on  the  shoulders  of  lit- 
tle children.  The  joy  of  life  is  in  giving,  for  all 
service  is  a  gift.  Every  man  who  cuts  down  the 
quantity  or  the  quality  of  his  servi.ie  deprives 
himself  of  so  much  pure  happiness.  If  the  door

{Continvcd  from  Jan.   lUll). 

[Charles  Frcdericl'  and  his  son,  Andrew  JViesenthal, 
were  eminent  physicians  of  Baltimore  from  1735 
to  1798.  Their  correspondence  is  interesting  and

i\[y  Dear  Son 

The  Evening  on  Saturday  last  ye  22d  we  re- 
ccivd  your  Letters  both  of  Mr.  Lee  and  Giles  at 
(ince  in  wliieli  I  Fce  your  beginning  to  dissect 
yourself  wliieh  ]ilea?es  me  and  I  insist  that  you 
continue  to  do  tliesaiue  manually  in  propria  per- 
sona, and  not  being  content  witli  merely  demon- 
strations after  llie  subject  is  prepard,  as  I  want 
the  practical  part,  it  will  load  you  towards  Oper- 
ations and  will  make  that  part  of  surgery  more 
intelligiljle  1  lioiie  you  will  not  be  content  with 
merely  knowing  the  situation  of  the  Viscera,  but 
will  examine  them  minutely,  their  contents 
Vessels  Ducts  &c.  Apropo.i  what  is  become  of 
the  Kidney,  I  have  suggested  several  qLiestions, 
but  for  my  [part]  am  apt  to  believe,  that  either 
a  Distension  of  the  pelvis  of  the  Kidney  from  an 
O'jitructel  Ureter  was  the  Disorder  and  the 
pelvis  was  filM  either  with  a  quantity  of  Urine 
or  Stones.  1  am  glad  you  have  introduc'd  your- 
self t'l  Doctor  Bond  though  he  may  have  some 
Oddities,  you  may  nevertheless  rely  on  this  that 
his  Acquaintance  will  1  e  valuable  to  you  both 
his  Learning  and  Experience  are  unquestionable, 
and  he  moreover  is  very  communicative  and 
takes  a  Delight  in  instructing  young  Persons  and 
that  in  proportion  to  their  Diligence  and  Appli- 
cation you  will  therefore  visit  his  Lectures  fre- 
quently and  freely  apply  to  him  to  resolve  such 
things  as  may  be  obscure  to  you,  he  is  a  good 
Surgeon  besides  and  may  give  you  some  good  hints 
id  tiie  hospital. 


The  Phylosopliical  Lectures  will  be  necessary  to 
frequent,  but  as  that  is  often  too  summary 
treated  I  will  have  you  to  make  inquiries  to 
know  all  fundamentally  from  a  good  theory. 

I  hear  Doctor  Sliippcn  has  a  yoimg  Gentleman 
who  pi-epares  the  Subjects  for  his  Demonstration 
I  would  have  you  cultivate  a  strict  friendship  as 
far  as  his  Morals  will  admit  of  (in  which  par- 
ticular you  know  my  firm  Opinion)  and  fre- 
quently make  Liquiries  of  the  Doctor  himself, 
who  I  hope  is  often  with  you  himself  and 
teaches. 

Doctor  Thomas  from  Frederick  was  in  Phila- 
delphia and  has  waited  twice  on  you  &  Dr.  Ship- 
pen  left  his  Card  but  could  not  see  neither.  I 
suppose  j^ou  was  busily  employed  in  your  Study 
and  dissecting  which  is  a  very  pleasing  Excuse 
to  me. 

Our  Blood  is  certainly  composed  not  onlj'  of 
Pan  Cakes  but  likewise  of  Roast  Beef  and  Plumb- 
pudding,  and  this  Season  will  I  presume  partake 
of  mixed  Pyes.  But  the  Opinion  of  Eleven- 
penny  pieces  if  five  serous  Globul  form  one 
Globul  of  Lymph,  &  eight  of  these  form  a  Dollar, 
seem  to  hint  that  the  Author  has  his  Theory  on 
Chymical  Principles  mostly  which  comprehends 
Metals  in  its  Operations. 

Mr  Wall  every  moment  enquires  about  the 
Air  pump,  you  may  inform  yourself  and  then 
inform  me  of  it,  if  the  mathematical  Instrument 
maker  has  any  and  at  what  price  a  small  one. 

I  intend  with  my  next  to  send  you  a  Letter  to 
Doctr  Thos  Bond  junr,  concerning  the  Set  of 
Capital  Instruments  I  lent  to  the  United  States 
both  Trepan  and  Amputating.  Dr.  Bond  2 
years  ago  receivd  from  me  the  Voucher  which 
was  a  Request  from  Mr.  Peters  of  the  Board  of 
War  at  the  Time  the  Congress  sat  in  Baltimore 
but  as  he  has  not  sent  me  the  Instrvnnents,  he 
should  not  keep  I'rom  me  the  Vouchers,  you  may 
consult  Dr.  Shippen  which  might   be   the   most

RECOLLECTIONS  OF  SLAVE  DAYS  AND 
WAR  TIMES. 

By  the  Editor. 
{Continued  from  page  32). 
During  our  residence  in  winter  quarters  we 
found  it  hard  t5  amuse  ourselves  or  to  find  em- 
ployment for  the  many  hours  of  leisure  that  in- 
tervened between  official  duties.  Consequently 
I  became  an  inveterate  smoker.  I  had  learned 
this  art  in  June  1862,  during  the  campaign  on 
the  Rappahannock  and  Chickahominy.  1  was 
there  struck  with  the  solace  which  the  men  de- 
rived from  their  pipes  at  the  close  of  the  day's 
march  or  battle  when  they  had  built  the  camp 
fires  and  were  reclining  before  them  while  the 
smoke  curled  so  gracefully  upwards  among  the 


trees.  It  was  not  acquired  easily  and  many 
days  elapsed  before  I  could  accomplish  the  art  in 
comfort.  But  now  I  was  proficient  and  was 
hardly  ever  without  a  pips.  It  imparted  a  feel- 
ing of  restfulness  which  made  me  resort  to  it 
every  hiur  in  the  day;  it  was  the  first  thing 
thought  of  on  rising,  the  last  before  retiring.  I 
ate  as  much  to  enjoy  the  smoke  afterwards  as  to 
satisfy  the  calls  of  hunger.  We  used  the  beau- 
tiful yellow  "Lone  Jack"  tobacco  from  Lynch- 
burg, a  mild,  yellow-colored  variety,  which  by 
its  attractive  appsarance  offered  an  additional 
temptation  to  indulge.  It  is  surprising  that  I 
did  not  suffer  more  from  dy.-spepsia,  but  as  a 
matter  of  fact,  I  exparienced  only  a  certain 
amount  of  heartburn,  flatulence  and  indisposi- 
tion to  food.  The  mode  of  life — so  much  out 
of  doors — must  have  neutralized  -the  effects  of 
the  tobacco.  The  influence  of  habit — as  exem- 
plified in  my  case,  which  was  not  an  isolated  or 
unusual  one  in  the  command — shows  how  hard 
it  is  to  resist  indulgences  like  this  one.  Few 
men  have  a  power  of  self-control  sufficient  to 
curb  their  desires  and  inclinations  within  proper 
bounds,  especially  when  the  want  of  employ- 
ment and  the  sources  of  mental  distraction  and 
anxiety  with  which  we  had  to  contend  prevail. 
I  have  had  numerous  illustrations  besides  my  ex- 
perience that  winter  at  the  Narrows,  both  in  my 
own  case  and  in  that  of  others,  of  the  truth  of 
the  axiom — that  "total  abstinence  is  easier  than 
moderate  indulgence."  But  when  I  began  the 
study  of  my  profession  after  the  war,  I  determ- 
ined that  no  indulgence  should  intervene  between 
me  and  it.  I  therefore  took  my  pipe  and  tobac- 
co bag  to  the  door  and  flung  them  out  into  the 
street,  thus  removing  on-ce  and  forever  all  tempt- 
ation to  that  habit  at  least.  I  had  no  cause  to 
regret  the  step  and  have  ever  found  that  the  best 
way  to  untie  the  Gordian  Knot  of  habit  is  to  fol- 
low the  example  of  Alexander  and  to  cut  it. 

About  the  middle  of  March,  I  obtained  a  fur. 
lough  and  paid  a  visit  to  my  home  in  the  lower 
Valley.     This  time  I  followed    the    Shenandoah

Valley  route,  via  Staunton,  Harrisonburg,  Luray, 
Front  Royal  and  Berryville.  My  parents  had 
moved  from  Charlestown  since  my  memorable 
visit  of  the  previous  year,  and  were  now  living 
at  Ripon  Lodge,  my  uncle  "William's  estate, 
about  midway  between  Charlestown  and  Berry- 
ville. The  region,  as  before,  was  not  occupied 
by  either  army,  and  it  was  not  altogether  safe 
for  Confederates  but  there  was  far  more  safety 
here  than  there  would  have  been  in  Charlestown. 

I  had  a  very  quiet  and  undisturbed  visit,  thor- 
oughly enjoying  the  pleasures  of  home  and  the 
companionship  of  those  who  were  nearest  and 
dearest  to  me.  My  mother  was  the  best  of 
women  and  a  saint  on  earth  if  there  be  such  a 
thing.  Her  sweet  temper  and  affectionate  cheer- 
fulness irradiated  our  home  circle,  while  her  un- 
affected pietj^  infused  around  her  a  profound 
christian  influence  and  a  love  that  never  faileth. 
What  do  we  not  owe  thee,  Woman — in  thy  trip- 
pie  character  of  mother,  wife,  daughter! 

I  took  advantage  of  the  opportunity  to  ex- 
change the  sword  which  Colonel  Starke  had  given 
me  in  Dec.  1861,  for  that  which  my  uncle  George 
had  left  me,  and  which  he  had  used  in  the  Sem- 
inole War  while  he  held  a  commission  in  the 
army.  I  continued  to  wear  this  until  near  the 
close  of  the  war  when  I  substituted  it  for  one  made 
by  the  Government  in  Richmond,  which  I  sur- 
rendered on  my  capture  in  March  1865.  My 
uncle  George's  sword  I  still  posses.  The  Starke 
sword  was  deposited  for  safety  under  the  boards 
of  the  floor  at  Ripon  Lodge,  and  it  escaped  cap- 
ture during  the  searches  and  sacking  of  the 
building  by  the  enemy  which  began  shortly  after 
this.  But  so  securely  had  it  been  hidden  that 
my  parents  could  themselves  never  find  its  hiding 
place  and  so  far  as  I  know  it  still  remains  to  this 
day  in  concealment  somewhere  in  the   building. 

My  brother  accompanied  me  out  from  home. 
We  followed  the  course  of  the  Shenandoah  River 
until  we  reached  Luray,  where  he  bid  me  good- 
bj^e  intending  to  visit  our  relatives  in  Fauquier 
County.  I  would  gladly  have  accompained  him 
had  I  been  mounted.  Pursuing  my  journey  on 
foot  to  Staunton,  thence  by  rail,  I  reached  Char. 
lottesville    on    Sunday  morning,  March  20.     At-

tending  church,  I  met  some  persons  who  lived 
in  the  country,  and  who  insisted  upon  my  going 
out  with  them.  I  accepted  the  invitation  as  they 
were  warm  personal  friends  of  my  father  and 
spent  the  next  twenty-four  hours  with  them,  re- 
ceiving many  attentions  from  them,  particularly 
from  the  young  ladies.  They  urged  me  to  re- 
main with  them  until  the  expiration  of  my  fur- 
lough but  I  wished  to  pay  a  brief  visit  in  the 
West  and  therefore  took  the  train  the  next  day. 
I  stopped  at  Lynchburg  and  received  kind  invi- 
tations to  supper,  tableaux,  etc.,  which  I  was 
compelled  to  decline. 

I  reached  Dublin  the  following  day  but  was 
unable  to  procure  transportation  thence  to  camp 
until  Thursday  at  4  P.  M.  I  was  sound  asleep 
when  we  arrived  at  Dublin,  and  in  the  hurry  of 
getting  off  forgot  entirely  a  haversack  containing 
several  pounds  of  coffee,  which  my  mother  had 
given  me  and  which  I  had  hung  up  over  mj' 
seat.  It  was  a  serious  loss  as  we  had  not  had 
any  coffee  in  camp  for  many  months  and  it  was 
very  valuable.  There  were  many  substitutes 
used  for  this  almost  indispensable  article — some 
very  unpalatable, — but  all  furnishing  at  least  a 
warm  and  more  or  less  nutritious  drink.  Toast- 
ed rye  was  one  of  the  most  popular  of  our  "cof- 
fees; "  we  also  used  parched  peanuts,  sweet  po- 
tatoes, etc.,  and  "teas"  were  made  from  various 
kinds  of  leaves  and  plants,  as  sassafras  bark, 
holly  leaves,  etc. 

I  arrived  at  camp  the  following  morning  at  1 
A.  M,,  and  found  the  command  under  march- 
ing orders.  My  comrades  were  glad  to  see  me 
return  safely  as  they  had  heard  that  I  had  been 
captured. 

We  did  not  leave  the  Narrows  until  April  5. 
After  an  exceedingly  disagreeable  march  through 
the  mud,  we  arrived  at  Princeton  the  following 
day.  Before  the  departure  I  had  begun  to  suffer 
from  a  very  large  abscess  and  my  sufferings  were 
much  aggravated  by  the  long  march  which  I 
shpuld  not  have  made  on  foot,  but  I  was  in 
command  of  the  company  at  the  time  and  I  did 
not  like  to  be  absent.  On  reaching  Princeton,  I 
was  in  such  pain  that  I  was  obliged  to  put  my- 
self on  the  sick  list  and  rent  a  room  in  the  only

remaining  house  in  the  place,  Mr.  Hall's,  of 
whose  family  I  have  previously  spoken.  I  was 
confined  to  bed  for  several  days  and  got  no  relief 
until  our  surgeon — Dr.  Noel — lanced  the  abscess 
when  I  obtained  immediate  relief. 

The  object  of  our  going  to  Princeton  was  to 
fortify  it  in  the  most  thorough  manner.  The 
engineer  in  charge  of  this  duty  was  Captain  .John 
M.  Robinson,  of  the  Engineer  Corps  (later  of 
Baltimore),  This  gentleman's  fainily  went  from 
Virginia  to  Philadelphia  some  years  before  the 
War.  We  knew  them  intimately  and  the  friend- 
ship was  now  renewed  between  Capt.  R.  and  my- 
self. He  occupied  a  room  at  Mr.  Hall's  ne.xt  to 
my  own,  and  as  soon  as  he  learned  of  my  pres- 
ence he  called  upon  me :  during  our  stay  at 
Princeton  we  were  almost  constantly  together. 
His  experience  was  most  interesting.  He  had 
))een  sent  to  Europe  on  business  by  the  Confede- 
rate States  Government  in  the  fall  of  1862.  He 
returned  a  year  later,  having  traveled  through 
Spain,  France  and  England.  He  came  back  by 
way  of  Nova  Scotia,  where  he  was  met  by  his 
father  and  mother.  Captain  R.  was  a  man  of 
fine  manners  and  remarkable  conversational 
j)Owers,  and  seemed  to  me  to  be  a  worthy  repre- 
sentative of  our  government.  The  accounts 
which  he  gave  of  his  travels  were  most  enter- 
taining. The  people  of  France,  he  said,  did  not 
generally  sympathise  with  us,  whilst  the  French 
governmerit  did.  In  England,  the  reverse  was 
the  case;  as  soon  as  he  registered  there  as  "Cap- 
tain 0.  S.  A.,"  he  began  to  receive  attention. 
Many  of  the  nobility  sought  his  acquaintance, 
being  very  desirous,  as  they  told  him,  to  hear 
about  the  South.  He  was  much  lionized,  and 
was  invited  to  dinner  parties,  balls  and  various 
other  social  gatherings.  He  attributed  the  warm 
reception  given  him  solely  to  his  official  position 
as  a  representative  of  his  country.  He  related 
many  incidents  of  his  life  abroad,  and  gave  me 
an  It- sight  into  the  character  and  mode  of  life  of 
the  English  aristocracj',  which  I  could  not  have 
acqu  red  in  any  other  way.  It  was  something 
of  a  novelty  to  meet  in  those  wild  and  desolate 
regions  with  a  man  of  the  fascinating  powers  of 
Captain  Robinson,  and  he  was  sought  after  by

all  who  came  in  contact  with  him.  I  am  sure 
that  to  him  I  owe  the  alleviation  of  many  a 
pang  of  my  sickness  and  a  happier  convalesence 
than  1  would  have  experienced  had  I  been  left  to 
the  ordinary  resources  of  the  place. 

We  were  now  busy  erecting  extensive  earth- 
works. One  hundred  men  were  detailed  daily 
for  this  duty.  Rapidly  a  forn:iidable-looking 
redoubt  aro3e  in  the  open  ground  just  above  our 
camp,  with  all  the  accessories  of  angle,  bastion 
and  embrasure;  fine  to  look  upon  with  its 
mathematical  regularity  of  outline  and  present- 
ing quite  a  contrast  to  the  rude  works  which  we 
were  accustomed  to  rear  for  our  defense.  For- 
tunately or  unfortunately,  we  had  no  opportu- 
nity to  test  its  efficiency,  as  we  were  soon  order- 
eTd  away. 

Our  Department  Commander,  Gen'l.  Brecken- 
ridge,  was  also  engaged  at  this  time,  in  con- 
structing a  line  of  telegraph  to  Princeton,  whilst 
the  troops  at  the  Narrows,  including  the  little 
Battalion  of  Beckley  (45th  Va.),  which  had  been 
ordered  thither,  were  employed  in  making  an 
important  road  18  miles  long  through  an  ex- 
ceedingly rough  and  rocky  country.  All  this 
looked  very  much  as  though  it  was  the  intention 
to  retain  us  there.  Orders  emanating  from  Gen- 
eral Lee  at  this  time  reduced  the  transportation 
allowed  the  officers  of  a  regiment  to  50  lbs.  each, 
or  as  much  as  one  wagon  could  carry. 

Early  this  Spring  (1861)  the  enemy  displayed 
unusual  activity  in  all  quarters.  About  the  first 
of  May,  theie  was  a  general  forward  movement. 
Sigel  with  6000  troops,  began  his  advance  up  the 
Valley  of  Virginia  from  Winchester  on  April  30, 
threatening  the  Virginia  Central  Railroad  at 
Staunton.  Breckenridge  took  Wharton's  and 
Echols'  brigades  of  infantry  and  McLaughlin's 
Battery  of  Artillery  from  our  department — a 
total  of  about  5000 — and  went  to  meet  him. 
Being  joined  by  the  cadets  from  the  Virginia 
Military  Institute  and  Imboden's  forces,  which 
consisted  of  a  brigade  of  cavalry  and  a  battery 
of  artillery,  B.  attacked  and  defeated  him  at 
Newmarket,  May  15.  He  then  crossed  the  Blue 
Ridge  with  his  two  infantry  brigades  and  a  bat- 
tery of  artillery  and  joined  Lee  at  Hanover  Junc- 
tion. On  May  3-4,  the  movement  of  Grant's 
army  began.  Nearly  simultaneously  a  strong 
force  in  two  columns  advanced  from  the  Ka- 
nawha Valley  upon  the  Virginia  and  Tennessee  R.

Saltville  in  the  southwestern  part  of  the  state. 
The  latter  duty  was  assigned  to  the  calvary  under 
Brig-Gen'l.  Averill.  All  these  movements  coin- 
cided. 

Averill's  command,  consisting  of  2079  officers 
and  men,  left  Charleston  May  1,  and  Logan  May 
5,  marching  through  Wyoming  and  Tazewell 
counties.  Having  no  artillery,  he  feared  to  at- 
tack Saltville  but  he  made  an  assault  on  the  lead 
works  near  Wytheville,  where  he  was  repulsed 
May  10,  by  General  John  Morgan*.  Later,  the 
way  being  opened  for  him  by  Crook,  he  destroyed 
the  railroad  at  Christiansburg  in  Montgomery 
Co.,  east  of  New  River,  and  then  joined  his  su- 
perior officer  at  Union  in  Monroe  county. 

The  other  column,  principally  infantry,  under 
Crook,  left  Fayette ville  May  3.  His  force  con- 
sisted of  eleven  regiments  of  infantry;  viz:  Ist 
Brigade,  Col.  R.  B.  Hayes:  23rd,  34th,  and  36th 
Ohio;  2nd  Brigade,  Col.  C.  B.  White:  12th  and 
91st  Ohio,  9th  and  14th  Va;  3rd  Brigade,  Col. 
Sickel:  3rd  and  4th  Penna.,  11th  and  15th  Va., 
and  several  detachments  of  other  regiments ; 
also  two  batteries  of  artillery  and  the  7th  W.  Va. 
cavalry  under  Colonel  Olney,  the  whole  about 
6000  strong.  (It  is  noteworthy  that  there  were 
two  future  Presidents  in  this  command,  Hayes 
and  McKinley.)

ALUMNI  COUNCIL. 

The  Council  met  on  March  23d,  at  Mr.  Daw- 
kins'  office  in  the  Fidelity  Building,  16  members 
being  present. 

By  the  appointment  of  the  President  of  the 
G.  A.  A.,  John  F.  Hancock,  Phar.  D.,  took  the 
place  of  Charles  Morgan,  declined. 

Mr.  Dawkins  offered  his  office  for  the  meet- 
ings, which  was  accepted,  and  the  secretary  was 
directed  to  draw  upon  the  G.  A.  A.  for  ex- 
penses. 

The  following  resolutions  were  adopted : 

1.  The  Alumni  Advisory  Council,  being  fully 
convinced  that  the  five-year  alliance  heretofore 
existing  between  the  University  and  St.  John's, 
and  terminating  in  1912,  has  been  of  marked 
benefit   to    each    institution,    hereby    urges    the 

*  Shenendoah  Valley  in  JS64.  By  George  E.  Pond,  N. 
Y.  1883. 


Honorable  Board  of  Regents  to  use  every  pos- 
sible means  to  secure  a  continuation  of  the  pres- 
ent alliance  before  the  expiration  of  the  term, 
believing  that  the  affiliation  between  these  two 
ancient  and  honorable  institutions  is  much  to 
be  desired  from  every  point  of  view. 

2.  The  Alumni  Advisory  Council,  believing 
it  to  be  for  the  best  interests  of  the  common 
Alma  Mater  that  certain  changes  be  made  in  the 
Charter  of  the  University  which  will  provide  for 
the  election  of  a  President  and  Board  of  Trust- 
ees, hereby  most  earnestly  and  unanimously 
urges  the  Honorary  Board  of  Regents  to  use  its 
best  endeavors  to  bring  about  such  changes, 
thu"?  placing  the  University  in  a  position  to  se- 
cure all  the  benefits  that  it  is  believed  may  be 
derived  from  vesting  its  entire  management  in  a 
competent  and  authoritative  body  with  an  execu- 
tive head. 

A  communication  was  received  from  Dr.  E. 
Baskin,  with  reference  to  the  teaching  of  histology 
and  other' laboratory  subjects  in  the  Dental  De- 
partment, which  was  referred  to  the  Dean  of  that 
Department. 

Drs.  N.  Winslow  and  J.  Emory  Bond  made  a 
report  upon  the  libraries  and  catalogues.  They 
recommend  that  the  libraries  be  combined  under 
a  competent  librarian  who  shall  devote  his  entire 
time  to  his  duties;  also  that  there  be  a  combined 
university  catalogue,  with  separate  announce- 
ments for  each  department. 

Dr.  Cordell  made  a  report  on  the  nomencla- 
ture of  buildings,  etc.,  which  corresponds 
closely  with  the  recommendations  in  Old  Mary- 
land for  February. 


ST.  JOHN'S    COLLEGE    (DEPARTMENT 
OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES). 

Rt.  Rev.  John  Gardner  Murray,  D.  D.,  Bishop 
of  Maryland,  delivered  an  address  to  the  students 
at  the  regular  chapel  exercise  on  Mar.  16.  He 
spoke  of  the  ends  a  man  should  strive  to  attain 
in  college.  He  was  accompanied  in  his  visit  to 
the  college  by  Mr.  J.  Wirt  Randall,  Chairman  of 
the  Board  of  Visitors  and  Governors.  The 
Bishop  received  his  doctorate  here  in  1909.

Battalion,  to  determine  which  shall  be  the  color 
company  for  the  next  year.  Marine  officers  will

He  was  true,  honest  and  sincere,  courteous 
and  affable  to  strangers,  staunch  and  ever  loyal 
to  his  friends.  His  suavity  of  manner  was 
never  used  as  a  cloak  for  special  occasions,  but 
was  the  spontaneous  outward  showing  of  innate 
kindliness  and  overflowing  good  vs^ill.  A  true 
son  of  the  Southland,  he  was  filled  with  its 
spirit  of  simple,  unostentatious  hospitality. 
His  home  was  open  to  either  friend  or  stranger. 
Equally  open  were  his  heart  and  hand,  and  in 
proportion  to  his  means,  few  have  been  more 
nobly  generous  in  their  beneficences.  His  life 
was  clean,  pure  and  useful.  In  every  one  of  its 
relationships  it  measured  up  most  fully  to  a 
very  high  standard  of  excellence.  He  was  a 
dutiful  son,  a  kind  and  most  helpful  brother,  a 
devoted,  indulgent  husband  and  father,  a  genial, 
ever  courteous  acquaintance  and  an  ideal  friend. 
— From  a  beautiful  "Tribute"  to  Professor 
Harris  by  Dr.  Sweeney,  in  Iteiii><  of  Intcird.

Some  one  wrote  on  the  blackboard  in  Davidge 
Ilall  just  before  an  examination: 

"Lord  God  of  Iloits,  be  with  us  j'et. 
Lest  we  forget!  lest  we  forget!" 


Mention  has  already  been  made  that  it  is  the 
intention  of  the  Faculty  of  Physic  to  endeavor  to 
secure   endowment   for   the   scientific    chairs — 


chemistry,  phy.-iologv,  pathology  and  pharma- 
cology. These  chairs  deal  mainly  with  the  labo- 
ratories, and  make  exactions  upon  the  teachers' 
time  and  attention,  which  the  so-called  practical 
branches  do  not  make.  It  must  be  evident  by 
this  time  to  all,  that  full  justice  can  only  be 
done  them  by  absolute  detachment  of  the  incum- 
bent from  the  practice  of  medicine.  So  we  are 
face  to  face  with  new,  though  hardly  unexpected, 
demands  for  large  additions  to  our  resources. 
The  burden  of  organization,  equipment  and 
maintenance,  must  be  supplemented  by  provi- 
sions for  salary.  The  call  has  gone  out  over  the 
land,  and  adaptation  to  meet  it  is  now  progress- 
ing rapidly.  In  a  short  time  it  will  be  that  a 
school  which  has  not  exclusive  teachers  in  these 
primary  or  basic  branches,  will  be  considered  a 
back  number,  encumbering  the  field  and  fit  only 
to  be  weeded  up  and  cast  into  the  brush  heap  to 
be  burnt  up.  Shall  the  school  of  medicine  of 
this  University  drift  on  to  this  destiny? 
0 

Professor  Hemmeter  has  led  the  way  in  this 
direction.  He  early  foresaw  the  coming  need 
and  started  a  Fund  for  the  endowment  of  his  own 
chair — Physiology.  On  .Jan.  9  last,  this  Fund 
amounted  to  $3,620  and  it  is  increasing  at  the 
rate  of  $800  or  $1,000  a  year.  He  has  declared 
that  he  and  his  wife  will  provide  by  will  and  be- 
quest for  a  capital  sufficient  to  yield  at  least 
$3,000  annually,  so  that  a  thoroughly  trained 
physiologist  may  be  secured  for  the  position. 
Having  no  children.  Professor  Hemmeter  is  free 
to  execute  without  hindrance  his  good  intentions 
which  do  him  great,  nay  inestimable,  credit. 

The  next  step  the  Faculty  intend  to  inaugurate 
by  endowing  the  Chair  of  Pathology,  and  it  is 
practically  settled  that  the  $5,000  Robinson  be- 
quest shall  form  the  nucleus  of  this  Fund.  But 
ibis  will  only  be  a  beginning  and  large  additions 
must  be  made  to  make  it  adequate  to  its  pur- 
poses. Can  we  not  impress  upon  our  alumni  the 
urgency  of  this  case?  Are  there  not  some  out  of 
the  2,500 — 3,000  graduates  now  living  who  are 
able  and  willing  to  help?  Do  not  the  needs  of 
the  Alma  Mater  appeal  to  them?  The  Chairman 
of  the  Committee  on  Endowment  begs  the  read- 
ers of  Old  Maryland  not  to  ignore  this  appeal, 
but  to  send  in  their  subscription  at  once  to  "The 
Trustees  of  the  Endowment  Fund  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland" /or  the  Cluiir  of  Pathology.

We  are  sure  it  will  be  gratifj-ing  to  the  older 
medical  alumni  to  know  what  care  is  being  taken 
of  the  theses  written  by  former  graduates.  From 
1812,  the  first  year  of  graduation,  to  1886,  inclu- 
sive, everj-  medical  graduate  was  required  to  pre- 
sent a  thesis,  and  the  result  was  a  large  and  in- 
teresting collection  of  manuscripts,  representing 
sometimes  two,  three  and  even  four  generations 
of  physicians  in  direct  descent.  It  is  a  valuable 
heirloom,  and  many  alumni  who  revisit  the  Uni- 
versity find  pleasure  in  reading  again  what  they 
themselves  wrote  in  student  days  or  in  perusing 
the  writings  of  a  revered  father  or  grandfather. 

Many  of  the  earlier  theses — before  the  number 
grew  so  large — were  printed.  There  are  none  of 
these  in  our  collection,  but  the  National  Medical 
Library  at  Washington  possesses  a  number  of 
them. 

Up  to  the  time  of  the  war  the  theses  were 
rudely  bound  each  year,  but  '^his  was  discon- 
tinued after  1861.  These  bound  volumes  were 
in  very  bad  condition,  so  the  Faculty  has  bad 
the  whole  collection  handsomelj^  bound  in  159 
volumes  which  are  now  on  the  shelves,  ready  to 
be  consulted.  All  medical  alumni  should  be 
grateful  to  the  Faculty  of  Physic  for  this  act  of 
public  spirit  and  generosity. 

It  is  proper  to  state  that  our  collection  is  not 
complete,  some  of  the  earlier  years  especially,  as 
1812,  1813,  1814,  1815,  1816,  1818,  being  en- 
tirely wanting,  and  also  many  single  theses  of 
other  years.  Still  there  are  many  hundreds  left, 
and  among  them  we  find  authors  who  achieved 
national  reputation.  Later,  we  propose  to  look 
through  those  volumes,  when  we  confidently  ex- 
pect to  find  interesting  material  for  an  article  or 
possibly  a  series  of  articles.

This  talk  about  "  anUigonh.ing  the  Ho'piins'" 
seems  to  us  very  foolish.  There  are  some  who 
appear  to  think  that  we  must  not  stir  hand  or 
foot  lest  we  "antagonize  the  Hopkins,"  and  the 
only  thing  left  for  us  to  do  is  to  lie  right  down 
and  die.  We  can  undertake  nothing  that  we 
are  not  called  to  a  halt.  We  try  to  secure  en- 
dowment, which  seems  to  us  absolutely  necessary 
to  our  existence ;  immediately  the  cry  arises 
"You  are  antagonizing  the  Hopkins  I"  No  sooner 
do  we  seek  affiliation  with  St.  John's,  than  some 
one  asks  "What  do  you  want  with  an  academic 
department;  are  you  going  to  'antagonize  the 
Johns  Hopkins?'  "  And  so  it  is  with  our 
efforts  to  improve  our  organization  and  every- 
thing else. 

Now,  the  cry  does  not  come  alone  from  out- 
siders; we  might  expect  and  stand  that.  But 
we  hear  it  in  our  own  circles.  So  that  it  really 
looks  as  though  there  were  those  among  us  who 
were  more  interested  in  the  Johns  Hopkins  than 
in  the  University  of  Maryland.  Yet  that  would 
be  a  very  strange  siate  of  mind  for  a  member  of 
the  Board  of  Regents  or  of  any  of  the  Faculties 
of  this  University  to  be  in — to  prefer  another  in- 
stitution to  his  own !

Some  think  that  if  its  funds  had  been  more 
wisely  administered,  it  would  be  even  greater. 
There  are  other  institutions  of  learning  besides 
the  Hopkins,  even  in  this  State,  and  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland  is  one  of  them.  We  stand  for 
that,  and  whatever  betides — whether  prosperity 
or  adversity — we  cast  our  lot  with  it.  And  we 
call  upon  all  loyal  Ahunni  of  this  old  University 
to  unite  in  its  support.  The  times  are  critical 
— we  do  not  realize  that  sufficiently — and  the 
University  needs  the  help  of  all ;  not  word-help 
only,  but  the   help    of    action,    of   sacrifice,    of 


giving!

We  are  informed  that  the  Board  of  Regents 
met  on  March  29,  with  the  Provost  in  the  chair 
and  a  large  attendance. 

A  tribute  to  the  late  Professor  James  H.  Harris, 
proposed  by  Professor  Heatwole,  was  entered 
upon  the  minutes. 

It  was  as  follows: 

"A  native  of  Virginia,  his  professional  career, 
beginning  with  his  graduation  from  the  Baltimore 
College  of  Dental  Surgery,  was  x^assed  almost  en- 
tirely iii  this  city.  After  filling  ably  for  many 
years  a  chair  in  his  Alma  Mater,  in  1882  he 
joined  with  Professor  F.  J.  S.  Gorgas  in  found- 
ing the  Department  of  Dentistrj'  of  this  Univer- 
sity. From  that  period  up  to  the  very  day  of 
the  commencement  of  his  last  illness  and  only 
five  days  before  his  lamented  decease,  he  was  ever 
the  faithful  and  devoted  guide  and  instructor  of 
the  many  classes  of  students  who  came  yearly 
under  his  care. 

"Although  he  had  gone  much  beyond  the  age 
at  which  men  generally  retire  from  active  work, 
he  continued  to  discharge  his  professional  and 
professorial  duties  with  unabated  vigor,  enthusi- 
asm and  success.  He  was  at  his  best  in  the 
clinic,  and  as  an  operator  had  few  equals,  no  su- 
periors. His  marvelous  skill  and  the  ease  and 
celerity  with  which  he  performed  the  most  diffi- 
cult operations  excited  the  continual  admiration 
of  his  friends  and  pupils. 

His  interest  in  his  \vork  was  intense  and  over- 
mastering. It  was  no  uncommon  thing  for 
him  to  linger  over  his  demonstrations  much  be- 
yond the  time  assigned  to  them,  and  the  students 
who  gathered  about  him  nightly  in  his  office 
hung  with  rapt  attention  upon  his  words  of  in- 
struction till  long  into  the  night.  His  whole 
career  was  characterized  by  unflagging  and  un- 
selfish devotion  to  duty. 

"In  his  domestic  relations  he  offered  the  spec- 
tacle of  a  model  son,  husband  and  father.  His 
personal  qualities  were  most  attractive  and  his 
manners  were  characterized  by  extreme  simpli- 
city, affability,  frankness  and  sincerity.  He  was 
faithful  to  his  civic  duties  and  was  an  unaffected 
Christian.  For  many  years  he  was  the  acknowl- 
edged Nestor  of  the  dental  profession  of  this 
city." 

There  was  a  report  from  the  Committee  on 
change  of  charter,  which  was  freely  discussed, 
after  which  it  was  referred  to  a  Committee  of  two, 


from  each  department.  The  Committee  recom- 
mend a  reduction  of  the  Regents  to  10,  exclusive 
of  the  President,  viz.,  one  from  each  of  the  five 
departments  at  present  composing  the  University, 
three  from  citizeNs  of  the  State  not  connected 
with  the  University  and  two  to  be  chosen  by  the 
alumni  of  the  University.  All  vacancies  in  the 
first  two  classes  to  be  filled  by  the  remaining 
members  of  the  Board;  the  alumni  regents  to 
serve  six  years,  and  to  be  so  disposed  that  the 
terms  of  both  shall  not  expire  in  the  same  year. 
The  Board  to  choose  the  President,  who  is  not 
to  be  a  member  of  the  teaching  Facultj^  or  Board 
at  the  time  of  his  selection,  but  shall  become  so 
on  election,  and  to  fix  the  amount  of  his  salary; 
also  to  determine  the  number  and  scope  of  the 
several  departments  and  change  them  at  its  dis- 
cretion ;  to  appoint  professors,  lecturers,  instruc- 
tors, etc.,  and  fix  their  compensation;  to  have 
control  of  finances  of  the  University  and  its  de- 
partments; to  hold  property  and  to  hold  all  en- 
dowments upon  the  terms,  conditions  or  limita- 
tions placed  thereon  by  the  donors  or  creators 
thereof,  including  all  gifts,  devises,  bequests  and 
legacies  left  to  the  University  or  to  the  Trustees 
of  the  Endowment  Fund,  but  not  yet  vested  in 
them  nor  paid  over  to  the  Universitj-.  The  act

DEPARTMENT  OF  LAW. 

Another  month  has  passed.  Lectures  have 
come  and  gone.  Theses  have  been  written  and 
handed  in  and  the  wearied  wielders  of  the  pen 
rest  froiu  their  labors.  The  ponderous  tomes 
look  down  complacently  from  their  places  upon 
the  shelves,  doubtless  wondering  at  the  cyclone 
that  liad  passed  when  they  were  ruthlessly 
plucked  down  and  forced  to  disclose  much  curi- 
ous and  promiscuous  lore.  A  good  many  stu- 
dents have  begun  to  study  for  the  State  Bar 
exam,  in  June  and  are  attending  quizzes  given 
by  Mr.  Want.  Three  quizzes  a  week  are  held, — 
on  Tuesday,  Wednesday  and  Friday,  at  9.30  A.

M.  or  8.30  P.  M.  These  quizzes  are  extremely 
beneficial  and  it  is  incumbent  upon  all  who  are 
going  up  for  the  examination  to  attend  them. 

Within  the  last  month  some  new  books  have 
been  received  in  the  library.  These  are  the  Fed- 
eral Digest  (7  volumes),  182  Fed.,  218  U.  S. 
Acts  of  1910  (Md.),  and  the  briefs  and  argu- 
ments in  the  Standard  Oil  and  Tobacico  Trust 
cases,  as  well  as  the  Corporation  Tax  case. 
Then,  too,  over  fifty  volumes  have  been  rebound 
and  look  very  attractive  in  their  new  garb.  Our 
library  has  been  greatly  improved  this  year.  We 
could,  however,  easily  improve  still  more.  It 
seems  to  the  writer  that  there  ought  to  be  a 
number  of  good  law  magazines  coming  to  the 
library,  so  that  the  students  may  keep  up  with 
and  take  an  interest  in  the  legal  thought  of  the 
day.  For  example,  the  Harvard  Law  Review. 
Every  issue  contains  valuable  articles  on  differ- 
ent legal  subjects.  In  the  next  issue  will  be  an 
article  on  "Corporate  Personality"  by  Arthur 
W.  Machen.  Jr.  Who  of  the  students  would  not 
like  to  read  this?  The  price  of  the  magazine 
is  very  small, — only  $2.30  a  year.  If  we  had 
several  magaziiies  of  that  character  the  students 
would  benefit  greatly. 

We  note  with  extreme  pleasure  the  elevation 
of  our  Lecturer,  Judge  Stockbridge,  to  the  Court 
of  Appeals.  The  Governor  could  not  have  made 
a  better  appointment.  The  Judge  lectures  to  us 
on  Testamentary  Law,  International  Law  and 
Conflict  of  Laws,  treating  these  subjects  in  a 
logical  and  comprehensive  manner.  We  sin- 
cerely hope  that  his  new  duties  will  not  compel 
the  Judge  to  discontinue  his  lecturing;  his  place 
would  lie  hard  to  fill. 

Mr.  Carroll  T.  Bond,  who  was  appointed  to 
succeed  Judge  Stockbridge  on  the  Supreme 
Bench,  is  a  graduate  of  the  Law  School,  Class 
of  1896.  He  is  a  prominent  member  of  the  bar, 
and  a  member  of  the  School  Board,  having  been 
appointed  by  Mayor  Mahool  some  time  ago.  He 
is  well  qualified  for  his  new  position  and  will  be 
a  worthy  successor  to  Judge  StockbriiJge. 

Judge  Rose  has  completed  his  lectures  to  the 
Senior  Class  on  Bankruptcy  and  is  now  lecturing

Something  was  said  in  the  last  issue  about  the 
desirability  of  keeping  the  Library  open  until 
eleven  o'clock.  This  was  kindly  permitted  by 
Mr.  Want  until  April  1.  It  would  be  a  great 
benefit  to  those  students  who  wish  to  use  the 
Library  if  this  were  continued.  Time  and  again, 
students  have  had  to  give  up  their  studying  and 
leave,  being  informed  by  the  Night  Librarian 
that  it  was  ten  o'clock  and  time  to  close.  This 
occasions  disputes  and  works  hardship.  Late 
lectures  prevent  a  student  getting  more  than  an 
hour  and  a  half's  use  of  the  Library  at  night, 
closing  at  ten.  The  only  apparent  remedy  is  to  do 
what  studying  is  necessary  in  the  daytime  so  as 
to  avoid  having  to  use  it  at  night.  Most  of  the 
students  are  doing  this, — as  will  be  seen  from 
the  night  attendance.  The  short  period  to  use 
the  Library  at  night  does  not  repay  the  time  and 
trouble  in  coming  back  after  lectures.  E.  H.  M.  m

DEPARTMENT  OF  MEDICINE. 

The  medical  theses  from  1812  to  1886  inclu- 
sive, in  manuscript,  have  been  bound  and  can 
now  be  seen  in  the  Library,  in  Davidge  Hall. 
The  collection  comprises  159  volumes  and  should 
be  most  interesting  to  the  Alumni  and  members 
of  the  Medical  Department. 

The  course  of  lectures  in  History  of  Miedcine 
given  by  Dr.  E.  F.  Oordell,  came  to  a  close  on 
Saturday,  March  25. 

Prof.  Hemmuter's  Clinic  hour  has  been  changed 
to  Thursday  at  1  P.  M.,  while  Prof.  Ashby  now 
holds  his  Clinic  on'Friday  at  1  P.  M.,  the  latter 
being  the  hour  formerly  used  for  the  Clinic  on 
"Diseases  of  the  Stomach." 

Messrs.  Byerly  and  Vreeland,  of  the  Senior 
Class,  are  recovering  from  attacks  of  appendicitis. 
Both  were  operated  upon  by  Prof.  Spruill. 

Quite  a  few  of  the  graduating  class  have 
already  received  appointments  to  hospitals  for 
the  coming  year.  By  competitive  examination 
the  following  were  appointed  Assistant  Residents 
at  Bay  View:  J.  E.Thomas;  P.  P.  McCain; 
W.  C.  Marett;  G.  C.  Coddington;  G.  D.  Town-

The  Departm.cnt  ofiers  its  sincere  sympathy  to 
Dr.  Heatwole  on  the  death  of  his  fatlier,  who 
departed  this  life  at  bis  home,  D.ile  Enterprise, 
near  Harrisonburg,  Va.,  March  26,  at  tlie  age 
of  8i.  The  greater  part  of  this  venerable  gen- 
tleman's life  was  spent  on  his  estate,  in  a  truly 
patriarchal  way — after  the  manner  of  tlio  Vir- 
ginia estate-holders,  respected  by  his  luighl  ois 
and  loved  by  all  coi.nected  with  him. 

Di-.  Davis  announced  that  ^May  13tb  will  be 
prize  day,  tlie  dny  on  which,  as  formerly,  the 
students  will  contest  for  prizes  in  toclmique. 
The  names  of  the  winners  of  honors  awarded  for 
the  year's  work  will  also  be  then  announced. 
Formerly  a  reunion  of  the  dental  alumni  was 
jicld  at  this  lime,  but  since  llie  merging  of  our 
Association  witli  the  General  Alunmi  Associa- 
tion, this  has  i)een  discontinued.  The  work  of 
tlie  students,  iiowcver,  will  be  on  exhibition 
and  all  inlere.stud  will  be  warmly  welcomed. 

The  members  of  the  Senior  Class  generally 
should  enter  this  contest,  so  as  to  make  a  credit- 
able showing  to  Judges  and  Faculty  of  their 
ability  to  operate  successfully. 

The  dates  of  commencement  and  the  other 
exercises  connected  with  the  closing  of  the  year

have  not  been  set,  as  yet.  These  events  are, 
however,  of  such  interest  to  alumni  and  students, 
that  they  should  guard  against  missing  any  func- 
tion incident  to  the  closing  of  the  scholastic 
year. 

The  Psi  Omega  fraternity  held  its  annual  ban- 
quet recently  at  the  Hotel  Kernan.  Mr.  High,  of 
the  Senior  Class,  was  toastmaster,  and  toasts 
were  responded  to  by  Dr.  Baskin  and  Dr. 
Sbreeves;  also  Messrs.  Delaney,  Houston  and 
McKinnum.  It  will  be  of  interest  to  alumni 
who  are  also  members  of  the  Psi  Omega,  to 
know  that  the  organization  is  still  maintaining 
a  strong  and  active  chapter. 

We  note  with  pleasure  that  word  has  been  re- 
ceived that  the  schoolb'oard  of  Baltimore  has 
given  permission  to  have  the  pupils'  teeth  exam- 
ined by  dentists;  and  also  that  in  the  future, 
volunteers  will  be  required  to  deliver  lectures  on 
oral  hygiene  to  the  teachers  for  the  benefit  of 
the  school  children.  The  subject  of  oral 
hygiene  is  one  dealt  with  extensively  in  dental 
magizines  and,  whose  importance  is  second  to 
none  other  as  far  as  the  health  of  the  conmiu- 
nity  is  concerned ;  so  the  introduction  of  cura- 
tive and  preventive  dentistry  into  our  schools 
is  a  far  step  to  modern  progress. 

Dr.  D.  Edward  Duff  has  been  appointed  den- 
tal surgeon  to  the  Garrett  Children's  Hospital 
and  Dr.  George  E.  P.  Truitt  has  been  appointed 
dental  surgeon  to  the  Home  for  Children.  We 
take  pride  in  the  fact  of  our  alumni  securing 
positions  of  this  sort. 

Dr.  Gjnrad  Reiman's  letter  in  the  last  issue  of 
Old  M.vryland  was  read  with  interest  and  his 
work  as  an  alumnus  is  appreciated. 

Professor  Davis  has  purchased  from  the  Ro- 
land Park  Co.,  a  lot  on  University  Parkway, 
where  he  intends  to  erect  a  handsome  house,  to 
cost  about  $20,000. 

Dr.  Webb,  of  North  Carolina,  Di-.  Atchison, 
of  Clarksburg,  W.  Va.  and  Dr.  Grant,  of  Oak-

J.  Pembroke  Thom,  '01,  of  Baltimore,  was  ad- 
mitted to  practice  before  the  Supreme  Court  of 
tho  United  States  March  22.— Col.  C.  B.  Clot- 
worthy,  '89,  took  his  farewell  of  the  5th  Regi- 
ment, M.  N.  G.,  on  March  24,  when  he  was  pre- 
sented by  the  officers  with  a  silver  bowl  and 
ladle.  He  retires  on  account  of  ill-health. — Mr. 
George  Norbury  Mackenzie  (LL.B  .'90),  of  Balti- 
more, was  elected  Governor  of  the  "Society  of 
the  Ark  and  Dove,"  at  the  first  general  meeting 
held  in  Baltimore,  March  27. — In  a  collision 
with  the  automobile  of  Professor  Tunstall  Taylor, 
March  27,  Rev.  Dr.  J.  Houston  Eccleston,  of 
Emmanuel  Church,  Baltimore,  was  thrown  out 
of  his  buggy  and  had  his  collar  bone  fractured, 
besides  receiving  bad  bruises.  Dr.  Eccleston 
died  on  April  1. — The  striking  interne  students 
left  University  Hospital  on  March  10,  the  Fac- 
ulty refusing  to  change  the  rules  requiring  night 
work. — The  Royal  Frederick  University  of  Nor- 
way has  invited  the  University  of  Maryland  to 
appoint  a  delegate  to  represent  it  at  the  com- 
memorative meeting  to  be  held  by  the  former  at 
Christiania  in  September  next. — Dr.  H.  0.  Reik 
lectured  at  Central  Presbyterian    Church    April 

9,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Brotherhood  there. 
His  subject  was  the  use  and  abuse  of  the  eye  and 
ear. — Professor  Thomas  A.  Ashby  has  sold  his 
estate,  "Belmont,"  near  Front  Royal,  Va.,  a 
fine  fruit  farm,  of  825  acres,  for  S40,000. — Drs. 
Frank  Martin,  of  Baltimore,  and  Benjamin  F. 
Tefi't,  Jr.,  of  Anthony,  R.  1.,  figure  in  an  illus- 
trated article  on  the  Automobile,  in  the  Jl.  nf  the 
Amer.  Med.  As-so.  for  April  8.  The  autos  and

son,  Westcolt  &  Co.,  reports  results  of  use  of 
"Salvarsan-Ehrlich,  606,"  in  17  cases  under  his 
personal  supervision.  The  exact  status  of  the 
discovery  is  still  in  doubt.  Its  efficacy  as  a  per- 
manent cure  and  the  matter  of  recurrence  are  still 
questionable.  The  immediate  results  are  "mar- 
velous" and  in  but  one  were  there  alarming 
symptoms.  Physicians  should  send  to  H.  W. 
&  Co.  for  this  article. — Hon.  Carroll  T.  Bond  re- 
signed from  the  Baltimore  School  Board  April 

10.  This  became  necessary  by  his  acceptance  of 
the  judgeship. 


It  may  be  interesting  to  note  at  this  time, 
when  we  are  considering  the  question  of  a  new 
charter,  what  was  done  in  1826,  when  the  Uni- 
versity passed  from  the  hands  of  the  Regents 
into  those  of  Trustees.  It  thus  became  a  State 
University;  that  of  course,  however  desirable  in 
the  opinion  of  many  it  is,  cannot  be  realized  by 
us  at  this  time.  Vacancies  in  the  Board  would 
have,  therefore,  to  be  filled,  not  by  appointment 
of  the  Governor,  but  by  election  by  the  Board 
itself. 

The  preamble  of  the  above  referred  to  act 
reads:  "Whereas,  experience  has  shown  that 
the  proper  government  and  discipline  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland  require  important  alter- 
ations in  the  act  of  incorporation,  therefore, 
etc."  The  Board  of  Regents  is  abolished  and 
the  members  of  the  several  Faculties,  except  pro- 
tessors,  are  discontinued.  The  government  of 
f  he  institution  is  transferred  to  a  Board  of  Trust- 
ees, upon  whom  are  conferred  all  the  duties  and 
powers  previously  belonging  to  the  Regents,  and 
who  are  made  responsible  "for  all  debts  due  by 
the  University,"  and  "for  contracts  heretofore 
made  by  the  said  Regents,"  just  as  the  latter 
had  previously  been.  The  Governor  of  the 
State  is  made  ex  officio  President  of  the  Board, 
which  has  the  power  to  appoint  and  dismi;-:s  the 
Provost,  professors  and  lecturers  at  pleasure. 
In  case  of  a  vacancy  in  any  professorship,  the  re- 
maining professors  are  required  each  to  nomi- 
nate a  successor,  but  the  Board  is  not  restricted 
in  its  choice  to  such  nominations.  The  pecu- 
niary affairs  of  the  institution  are  placed  unre- 
servedly in  the  hands  of  the  Board,  which  con- 
trols all  expenditures.  Vacancies  in  the  Board 
are  to  be  filled  by  appointment  of  the  Governor. 

This  act  should  be  thoroughly  studied  by 
those  having  the  question  of  a  new  charter  in 
charge,  as  also  the  charters  of  1807  and  1812, 
both  of  which,  according  to  the  Court  of  Ap- 
peals, are  in  full  force.  We  shall  next  consider 
these  charters.

A  little  further  up  the  growing  green, 

An  humble  cottage  stands  between  the  herds 
Bovine,  stout,  bulky,  fat  among  Ihe  trees; 

A  cottage  meek  as  that  of  Bethany; 
Where  far  from  busy  life,  in  sweet  content. 

How  oft  we  sat,  to  see  the  sun  go  down. 
And  laugh  to  hear  the  zealous  whippoorwill! 

How  oft  we  strayed  yon  devious  forest  walk, 
Along  the  path  where  paradtics  creep. 

And  saw  Apollo  rising  from  his  couch 
To  give  the  glory  of  a  new-born  day! 

The  brightening  clouds  stood  waiting  at  his  throne, 
Abashed  and  blushing  till  thej^  stole  away. 

The  early  songsters  tried  their  hymns  again. 
In  eostacy  to  hail  the  Lord  of  Life; 

And  buds  and  leaves  and  flowers  of  countless  hives, 
\^'ith  deeper  tints  imbibed,  awoke  and  smiled.

Another  month  has  passed  swiftly  by.  It  has 
been  quite  an  uneventful  one  and  the  way  of  the 
chronicler  is  easy. 

Most  of  the  Seniors  have  spent  this  month 
preparing  for  the  Bar  examinations  and  keeping 
up  with  the  lectures.  All  of  the  students  are 
now  busy  preparing  for  the  University  final  ex- 
aminations, which  begin  with  Bankruptcy  and 
Insurance  on  May  17,  and  end  with  Sales  on  May 
25.  This  will  mean  the  end  of  the  course  for 
pDssibly  all  of  the  Seniors. 

Mr.  Want  has  given  several  very  instructive 
lectures  on  difficult  subjects  in  Real  Property,  as 
e.  g.  the  Rule  against  Perpetuities,  Powers,  Re- 
mainders, etc.  These  talks  have  been  of  great 
benefit  to  the  students,  giving  them  a  better  un- 
derstanding of  those  subjects  that  in  the  regular 
course  cannot  be  dwelt  upon  at  length  owing  to 
limited  time. 

Mr.  Want  also  gave  a  quiz  to  the  Senior  Class 
on  Constitutional  Law  and  will,  later  on,  give  a 
lecture  on  the  Maryland  Constitution. 

On  May  1,  Professor  Poe  finished  his  lectures 
on  Bills  and  Notes  and  will  meet  the  members  of 
his  class  at  Philippi  on  May  18. 

Copies  of  "The  Rule  in  Slielley's  Case," 
treated  in  an  extended  note  in  29  L.  R.  A., 
have  been  sent  to  tlie  Library  for  distribution  to 
the  students.  Tlic  subject  is  treated  in  a  clear 
and  logical  manner  and  is  very  full. 

A  pamphlet  (of  40  pages)  has  been  published 
by  the  Title  Guarantee  and  Trust  Company,  on 
the  "Rule  in  Shelley's  Case  in  Maryland,'' 
The  Maryland  cases  are  all  noted  and  discussed 
and  the  present  force  of  the  rule  is  presented. 
The  author  (whoever  he  is)  has  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  subject  an  1  a  complete  mastery 
of  the  Maryland  cases.  The  little  book  is  indeed 
a  revelation. 


Some  of  the  new  volumes  received  in   the   Li- 
brary are:      113   Md.;    37  Oyc;    136   Am.  State 
Rep.;   29  L.  R.  A., — as  well  as   numerous  legal 
pamphlets  of  interest.  E.  H.  M.

The  Senior  "finals"  are  now  being  held  and 
considering  the  fact  that  the  present  class  has 
been,  as  a  whole,  a  rather  studious  and  capable 
bod}^  it  is  hoped  and  expected  that  it  will  pass 
the  final  examinations  with  flying  colors. 

The  Commencement  of  the  Niirses'  Training 
School  connected  with  the  University  Hospital 
will  be  held  at  Lehmann's  Hall  on  May  II. 
There  will  be  about  twenty-five  graduates. 

The  Senior  Class  will  have  a  banquet  at  the 
Eutaw  House,  on  some  evening  between  the  last 
examination  and  Announcement  night.  It  is 
expected  that  Announcement  night  will  be  about 
May  25. 

The  Term  Marbv  for  1911  will  be  ready  for 
distribution  about  the  middle  of  this  month. 
Owing  to  unavoidable  delays,  the  publishers 
were  unable  to  have  it  ready  any  sooner,  as  had  ' 
been  expected.  It  is  well  gotten  up  and  will  be 
a  credit  to  the  graduating  classes  of  the  Univer- 
sity. Each  member  of  the  Senior  Class  will 
value  his  copy  most  highly,  for  he  will  find 
much  therein  to  interest  him  and  to  bring  to 
mind,  especially  in  after  years,  the  u:emories  of 
pleasant  times  spent  at  the  University.  The 
edition  will  be  more  limited  than  in  previous 
years,  and  in  order  that  everj'one  who  wishes  to 
have  a  copy  may  be  able  to  obtain  one,  it  is  best 
for  those  who  have  not  already  done  so  to  order 
it  without  delay. 

The  Summer  Course  in  Anatomy,  in  charge  of 
Drs.  Jos.  W.  Holland  and  J.  Holmes  Smith,  -Jr., 
will  begin  soon  and  will  continue  for  six  weeks. 

A  very  interesting  Clinic   with    the   exhibition

of  various  cases  was  held  at  the  Hospital  for 
Crippled  Children,  for  the  Senior  Class,  by  Dr. 
R.  Tunstall  Taylor,  on  April  80. 

Dr.  Patrick,  '09,  is  taking  a  post-graduate 
course  in  ophthalmology  at  the  University  Hos- 
pital, under  Dr.  Tarun. 

Several  more  members  of  the  graduating  class 
have  received  appointments  to  hospitals.  Among 
these  are:  J.  J.  Greengrass,  Resident  Physician, 
Paterson  General  Hospital,  Paterson,  N.  J.; 
WilHs  Linn,  Sup't.  of  Arnot  Ogden  Hospital, 
Elmira,  N.  Y.;  and  Elijah  Nichols,  who  was 
appointed  Assistant  Resident  Surgeon  to  St. 
Joseph's  Hospital,  Baltimore,  Md.,  after  a  com- 
petitive examination. 

Mr.  S.  H.  Cassidy,  '11,  will  assist  Dr.  H.  H. 
Weinberger,  '08,  of  this  city,  in  the  latter's 
practice. 

Mr.  Henry  D.  Causey,  of  the  Senior  Class, 
upon  graduation  will  assume  the  practice  of  Dr. 
Thomas  B.  Owings,  of  Ellicott  City,  Md.

Dr.  C.  F.  Keiman,  of  Ansonia,  Conn.,  has 
removed  his  office  to  110  Main  Street,  opposite 
the  Ansonia  Savings  Bank. 

The  examinations  are  over  and  we  wait  for  the 
final  day.  Commencement  day  is  the  most  im- 
portant of  all  the  days  in  College  life,  for  it  is 
then  that  the  student  realizes  what  he  has 
worked  for  and  the  glory  of  merit  is  his.  There 
are  many  wlio  have  won,  and  some  who  have 
lost  in  the  race. 

To  those  who  have  won,  we  wish  the  rewards 
which  honor  and  merit  receive  and  a  God-speed. 
And  when  looking  backward  on  their  Alma  Ma- 
ter and  days  spent  within  her  walls,  may  they 
feel  a  keen  veneration  for  her  and  a  warm 
friendship  for  instructors  and  fellow  students, 
and  realize  their  obligation,  by  hearty  coopera- 
tion with  the  interests  of  their  kind  mother. 

To  those  who  have  lost  the  race,  we  trust  hope 
may  bid  them  try  again.  And  to  all  nothing 
more  apt  can  be  said  than — as  Dr.  Davis  re- 
marked in  his  farewell  lecture  a  fortnight  ago — 
"Those  who  have  achieved  the  goal  and  those 
who  have  not  may  know  and  feel  the  responsi- 
bility is  no  one's  but  theirs ;  and  they  may 
either  thank  or  blame  themselves." 


There  will  shortly  lie  unveiled  at  the  Univer- 
sity a  bust  of  Profesfcor  H.-irris,  donated  by  tlie

On  April  3d,  ISOO,  was  called  to  Francis  Pep- 
per, a  painter,  who  had  all  the  symptoms  of 
yellow  fever.  He  first  complained  of  lassitude 
and  aching  in  head  and  back,  with  alternate 
sensations  of  heat  and  cold  for  8  or  10  hours. 
Then  ensued  a  violent  hot  state  with  great  rest- 
lessness, sighing,  oppression  about  the  precordia, 
vomiting  of  bile,  obstinate  costiveness,  incoher- 
ent conversation,  and  a  constant  disposition  to 
move  from  place  to  place.  This  was  the  3d  day 
of  his  illness.  Bled  him  ^  pint  and  gave  20  grs. 
of  .ialap  and  10  grs.  of  calomel.  This  not  oper- 
ating, repeated  the  dose  in  the  afterncon  but 
without  effect.  At  night,  began  with  5  grains 
of  calomel  every  hour,  which  moved  the  bowels 
after  taking  10  doses,  producing  three  discharges 
of  green  stools  similar  to  bruised  grass  and 
frothy.  April  2.  Bled  again.  The  first  re- 
lieved the  head  in  some  measure;  the  second 
lessened  the  hardness  of  the  pulse.  Ordered  5 
grains  of  jalap  and  2  of  calomel  every  two  hours, 
and  this  was  continued  for  three  days,  producing 
more  than  30  stools,  which  changed  at  length 
from  green  to  black,  resembling  tar,  and  later 
to  a  natural  appearance.  April  3.  Bled  again, 
relieving  head  and  stomach,  which  was  from  the 
first  much  affected.  Soon  after,  a  copious  sweat 
came  on,  which  gave  much  relief.  A  crisis  oc- 
curred on  the  7th  day. 

The  diseases  of  the  winter  have  all  been  bilious 
in  the  extreme. 

On  April  1,  inoculated  Dr.  Arthur  Rich  from 
Dorchester  Co.  He  was  prepared  by  three  strong 
purges,  and  a  mercurial  pill  was  given  every 
night  from  the  insertion  of  the  matter  to  the  ac- 
cession of  the  fever  on  the  10th.  In  the  after- 
noon, soon  after  the  inoculation,  he  had  a  tertian 
exacerbation,  evidently  contracted  from  marsh 
effluvia  on   the   Eastern   Shore.     The  variolous 


fever  progres.=ed  slowly,  but  it  was  violent  to  a 
malignant  degree  and  assumed  a  quotidian  ex- 
acerbation. All  those  troublesome  symptoms 
which  attend  the  violent  bilious  or  yellow  fever 
— headache,  sighing,  delirium,  puking  bile,  yel- 
low tongue  and  eyes,  pains  in  the  bowels — ex- 
isted to  an  alarming  degree.  After  taking 
much  purgative  medicine,  there  were  immense 
discharges  of  bile,  which  afforded  complete  alle- 
viation of  pains  in  the  bowels.  He  was  bled  on 
the  2d  day  with  great  advantage,  and  it  was  re- 
peated on  the;  3d  and  5th,  relieving  the  puking 
and  finally  all  the  malignant  symptoms.  The 
eruption  progressed  very  slowly,  indeed  did  not 
appear  at  all  until  the  5th  day  after  the  accession 
of  the  fever,  and  was  not  full  then  in  10  days. 
The  vesicles  were  not  numerous.  The  remittent 
type  disappeared  as  soon  as  the  eruption  came 
out  fully,  but  returned  again  when  the  pocks  be- 
came dry  and  continued  until  good  living  raised 
a  new  and  more  healthy  action  in  the  system.

Crawford  introduced  vaccination  in  Baltimore. 
What  a  contrast  between  simple  and  harmless 
vaccinia,  and  the  dangerous  inoculated  small- 
pox, as  Dr.  P.  describes  it  above,  with  its  re-

On  the  retirement  of  Hon.  Hear}/  Stockbridgc 
from  the  Supreme  Bench  of  Baltimore  to  fill  a

been,  how  diligently,  conscientiously  and  eflici- 
ently  it  has  been  performed,  and  as  we  recall 
how  much  we  owe  to  you,  how  ready  you  have 
ever  been  to  do  more  than  your  share  of  labor, 
how  eager  to  advance  the  work  of  the  courts, 
how  painstaking  to  keep  it  in  hand,  how  famil- 
iar j'ou  have  made  yourself  with  all  its  details, 
how  systematically  you  have  preserved  a  record 
of  everything  that  was  valuable  for  future  refer- 
ence in  our  conferences,  and  withal  how  agree- 
able, helpful  and  cordial  have  been  all  your  re- 
lations with  your  colleagues,  we  realize  that  this 
bench  is  losing  a  most  valuable  member. 

"You  will  take  with  you  in  the  broader  sphere 
to  which  you  have  been  advanced  the  genuine 
esteem  and  warm  regard  of  each  one  of  us.  We 
confidently  anticipate  that  your  career  as  judge 
of  the  Court  of  Appeals  will  be  one  of  conspicu- 
ous ability  and  of  great  benefit  to  the  people  of 
the  State,  and  we  wish  for  you  both  now  and 
always  the  happiness  which  attends  on  health, 
prosperity  and  a  life  of  continued  usefulness." 

RECOLLECTIONS  OF  SLAVE  DAYS  AND 
WAR  TIMES. 

By  the  Editor. 
{Continued  from  page  53). 

After  a  three  days  march,  this  column  reached 
Princeton  where  it  met  with  opposition  from 
McCausland's  cavalry.  Crook  here  destroyed 
McCausland's  tents  which  had  been  incautiously 
left.  On  the  night  of  May  8th,  he  reached 
Shannon's,  seven  miles  north  of  Dublin,  where 
he  found  thii  southern  forces  under  the  cavalry 
general,  A.  G.  Jenkins,  posted  near  Cloyd's 
Mountain. 

The  Confederates  were  stationed  upon  a  wooded 
spur  just  south  of  the  mountain  and  in  full  view 
of  it,  behind  rail  breastworks.  Our  force  con- 
sisted of  three  regiments  and  one  battalion  of 
infantry  and  two  batteries  of  artillery — less  than 
3000.  The  45th  Va.  Infantry,  Col.  William  H. 
Browne,  commanding,  occupied  the  right,  sup- 
ported by  Beckley's  small  battalion;  the  60th 
Va.,    Col.    Beuhring   H.    Jones,    commanding.

held  the  centre,  and  the  36th  Va.,  Lt.  Colonel 
Thomas  Smith,  commanding,  was  on  the  left. 
The  artillery  was  placed  between  the  regiments. 
Our  guns  were  so  placed  as  to  sweep  a  broad 
meadow  in  our  front,  while  a  knee  deej)  brook 
wound  around  the  foot  of  the  steep  slope. 

The  enemy  finding  our  position  so  strong  in 
their  front,  sent  a  brigade  under  cover  of  the 
thick  woods,  to  turn  our  right  flank.  As  soon 
as  it  became  engaged,  the  troops  in  front  of  us 
charged  upon  us,  across  the  open  field.  AVe 
opened  fire  upon  them  with  deadly  effect,  mow- 
ing them  down  and  forcing  them  to  fall  back  in 
disorder.  But  they  succeeded  in  forcing  our 
right  flank,  which  now  began  to  fall  back  to- 
wards the  higher  ground  in  our  rear.  Unfortu- 
nately for  us,  at  this  time,  our  Commander,  Gen- 
eral Jenkins  fell,  mortally  wounded,  and.  was 
carried  off  the  field.  This  created  much  confu- 
sion .  Falling  back  in  conformity  with  the  move- 
ment on  our  right,  we  again  presented  a  line  of 
battle  in  the  open  ground,  some  200  yards  in  rear 
of  our  first  position  and  higher  up  the  hill.  The 
enemy  now  appeared  upon  our  left  under  the 
brow  of  a  hill,  and  opened  a  raking  fire  upon 
us.  There  were  no  Confederate  troops  beyond 
my  regiment  in  that  direction,  the  36th  having 
been  moved  to  the  right.  At  this  time  I  had  a 
bullet  through  the  breast  of  my  coat,  evidently 
from  this  quarter.  We  turned  and  replied  to 
their  fire,  but,  the  right  of  the  line  again,  giving 
away,  we  fell  back  to  the  top  of  the  hill,  where 
our  ensign,  Lieutenant  L.  P.  Summers  took  post 
with  our  battle  flag. 

Col.  McCausland,  who  had  succeeded  to  the 
command,  endeavored  now  to  rally  aad  reform 
our  ranks.  We  did  not  remain  long  in  this  po- 
sition but  moved  slowly  backward,  in  some  dis- 
order, it  is  true,  but  not  in  any  panic,  into  the 
woods  which  were  fortunately  close  at  hand. 
The  60th  was  the  last  to  leave  the  field  (Jones). 
McCausland  had  called  me  to  him  when  we  made 
our  second  stand  around  the  colors  and  directed 
me  to  collect  some  of  the  best  men  in  the  com- 
mand and  take  charge  of  them  as  a  rear  guard. 
I  did  so,  and  none  too  soon,  for  the  enemy's  cav- 
aliy,  thinking  we  were  routed  charged  up  the 
road  upon  us.  We  hardly  had  time  to  jump 
over  the  fence  wliich  bounded  the  road  here, 
when  they  were  upon  as.  We  gave  them  a  vol- 
ley through  the  rails,  which  caused  the  foremost 


70 


OLD  MAETLAND. 


files    to   tumble   from    their    saddles,  when  they 
retreated  precipitately. 

They  did  not  press  us  further  during  our  re- 
treat and  I  fell  back  leisurely  with  my  rear  guard 
towards  Dublin,  firing  from  time  to  time  as  we 
saw  any  of  the  enemy  in  the  distance.  McCaus- 
land  says  in  his  report  of  the  battle,  that  he 
rallied  the  36th  (his  own  regiment)  at  the  top 
of  the  hill — our  second  stand — and  covered  the 
retreat,  repulsing  repeated  charges  of  the  enemy's 
cavalry!  Major  Fife,  on  the  other  hand,  who 
succeeded  to  the  command  of  it  after  Smith's 
fall,  says  it  was  disorganized  and  could  not  be 
rallied.  It  appeared  to  me  that  our  commands 
were  inextricably  mixed  up  after  our  first  rally. 

It  gave  me  great  pleasure  to  feel  that  I  had 
rendered  important  service  in  this  unfortunate 
engagement.  There  is  no  doubt  that  if  we  ha  J 
not  repulsed  the  charge  of  the  cavalry,  we  would 
all  have  been  captured  and  I  think  it  fair  to  claim 
that  my  rear  guard  saved  the  army,  which  was 
hurrying  away  from  the  field  in  precipitate  re- 
treat, with  only  us  between  it  and  the  victorious 
pursuers. 

I  believe  tliat  we  would  have  gained  this  bat- 
tle if  General  Jenkins  had  not  fallen,  notAvith- 
standing  the  great  inferiority  of  our  numbers. 
He  was  a  gallant  officer  and  had  a  high  reputa- 
tion. I  may  mention  that  McCausland  did  not 
approve  of  the  disposition  of  our  troops. 

In  his  official  report  of  this  engagement, 
Crook  states  that  his  prisoners  represented  14 
regiments,  and  that,  according  to  a  captain  whom 
he  captured,  he  was  outnumbered  by  the  Con- 
federates! He  claims  to  have  buried  over  200 
Confederate  dead.  He  says  that  if  he  had  had 
an  adequate  force  of  cavalry,  he  would  have  cap- 
tured our  entire  command.  It  is  singular  how 
facts  are  distorted  in  these  reports  and  how  each 
one  is  Irying  to  get  the  most  credit  to  himself 
out  of  them.  In  his  report,  McCausland  gives  it 
as  his  "firm  conviction  that  for  the  means  em- 
ployed, no  better  results  have  been  accomiilished 
during  the  war." 

It  has  been  stated  that  there  were  two  future 
Presidents  of  the  United  States  engaged  in  this 
battle  on  the  Federal  side.  One  of  tlieni.  Col. 
Rutherford  B.  Hayes,  of  the  23rd  Ohio  Regi- 
ment, was  in  command  of  a  brigade  which  was 
pitted  directly  against  our  part  of  the  line. 

That    this   was    a    pretty  hot  fight  may  be  in- 


ferred from  the  losses.  The  60th  had  20  killed, 
68  wounded  and  64  missing,  total  152  (Col.  B. 
H.  Jones).  Among  the  killed  of  this  (my)  reg- 
ment,  were  Lt.  Col.  George  W.  Hammond,  Ma- 
jor Jacob  N.  Taylor,  and  Captain  Moses  McClin- 
tock.  The  gallant  Lieutenant  Larew,  of  my  old 
Co.,  E,  was  wounded.  Lt.  Col.  Harmon,  of  the 
45th  Va.,  was  killed  and  Lt.  Col.  Thomas  Smith, 
commanding  the  36th  Va.,  was  badly  wounded. 
Our  entire  loss  was  638,  including  200  captured 
and  missing.  Two  of  our  guns  were  captured. 
The  enemy's  loss  in  killed  and  wounded,  accord- 
ing to  Crook,  was  643.  They  left  200  seriously 
wounded  in  hospital  near  the  field. 

Just  before  wc  reached  Dublin,  we  met  a  thin 
line  of  Confederates  drawn  up  in  a  woods,  which 
we  were  told  was  Morgan's  command.  It  had 
been  brought  on  from  Wytheville,  but  arrived 
too  late  to  be  of  any  assistance  to  us.  McCaus- 
land did  not  attempt  to  make  a  stand  here,  but 
pushed  on  to  New  River  Bridge,  recognizing  that 
the  importance  of  that  structure  left  every  other 
consideration  in  the  shade.  Morgan  made  a 
feeble  resistance  but  was  compelled  to  retire. 
The  enemy  destroyed  the  stores  at  Dublin  and  on 
May  10  advanced  to  New  River  Bridge  where 
our  forces  had  concentrated.  Here  after  an  ar- 
tillery duel  of  two  hours,  with  a  loss  to  the  ene- 
my of  11,  they  got  possession  of  the  bridge  and 
burnt  it. 

Crook  now  fell  back  to  Union,  in  Monroe 
County,  where  being  joined  by  Averill,  the  com- 
bined force  continued  on  to  Meadow  Blulf ,  to 
the  west,  reaching  (here  May  19. 

While  we  were  in  the  vicinity  of  Christians- 
burg — on  May  28th — I  was  appointed  Assistant 
Adjutant  General  of  the  brigade  by  a  regular 
brigade  order  and  was  given  to  understand  that 
my  pay  as  such  would  be  §140  per  month.  Col. 
Beuhring  H.  .Jones,  of  the  60lh,  was  at  this  time 
in  commnnd  of  the  brigade. 

After  a  few  days  stay  in  the  vicinity  of  Chris- 
tiansburg,  we  moved  to  the  Valley  of  Virginia, 
to  meet  a  new  advance  from  that  direction   by  a

large  force  under  General  David  Hunter,  who 
had  succeeded  Gen'l  Sigel  after  his  defeat  at  New- 
market. On  the  26th  of  May,  Hunter  broke 
came  at  Cedar  Creek,  near  Strasburg  and  march- 
ed up  the  Valley  with  8500  men  aiid  21  guns. 
Gen'l  William  E.  Jones,  who  commanded  the 
Confederates  in  this  section,  marched  boldly  to 
meet  him  with  a  much  inferior  force  of  5600, 
composed  of  two  brigades  of  Virginia  infantry, 
Vaughan's  dismounted  Tennessee  cavalry,  Im- 
boden-'s  Cavalry  and  a  few  guns.  McCausland, 
who  had  been  made  a  brigadier  general  and  had 
been  put  in  command  of  the  cavalry  brigade  of 
the  late  Gen'l  Jenkins,  was  confronting  Crook 
and  Averill,  who  were  advancing  from  Meadow 
Bluff  on  the  west  with  a  view  to  a  union  with 
Hunter.  Jones  hod  to  fight  Hunter  before  this 
union  was  effected. 

On  the  morning  of  June  5,  we  met  him  at 
Piedmont,  a  small  village  near  the  Blue  Ridge 
Mountain,  four  miles  east  of  the  valley  pike  run- 
ning from  Staunton  to  Winchester,  •  ten  miles 
north-east  of  the  former  and  seven  southwest  of 
Port  Republic,  and  on  a  road  which  a  little  fur- 
ther south  forks  to  Staunton  and  Waynesboro. 
We  occupied  a  position  where  we  had  a  horse- 
shoe curve  of  the  South  River  in  our  rear.  Our 
artillery  occupied  a  hill  in  our  centre,  at  the 
edge  of  a  wood. 

At  the  request  of  his  fellow  prisoners  at  John- 
son's Island,  Col.  Beuhring  H.  Jones,  command- 
ing the  1st  brigade,  wrote  a  report  of  the  battle, 
which  was  pulilished  in  Southern  Opinion,  a 
Richmond  newspaper  edited  by  H.  W.  Pollard, 
Sept.  14,  1867.  It  is  dated  July  1,  1864,  when 
these  events  were  fresh  in  his  memory.  He 
gives  our  force  at  2500  (5600  according  to 
Vaughan)  and  attributes  our  defeat  to  a  misap- 
prehension of  orders,  by  which  regiments  which 
should  have  filled  up  the  gap  between  the  right 
of  the  Virginians  and  the  left  of  the  Tennessenns 
moved  to  the  extreme  left  of  our  line,  and  the 
60th  Virginia  placed  itself  perpendicular  to  the 
road  in  rear  of  the  right  of  Browne's  (2nd) 
Brigade,    and    not    parallel    as    was    intended.

Browne's  right,  he  says,  rested  on  the  road  and 
his  brigade  extended  thence  to  the  left  in  a  line 
perpendicular  to  the  road,  the  line  being  contin- 
ued by  the  1st  brigade  until  its  left  rested  on  the 
river,  which  at  thij  point  had  high  and  precipi- 
toas  banks.  On  the  right  of  the  road  and  per- 
pendicular to  it,  about  600  yards  in  rear  of  the 
right  of  the  2nd  brigade,  Vaughan's  brigade 
was  in  position.  I  recollect  well  this  fatal 
movement  of  the  60th.  It  was  commanded  that 
day  by  Capt.  Thompson,  of  Greenbrier  Co.,  a 
very  inefficient  officer  and  I  recall  the  vague  and 
ill  understood  gropings  as  it  seemed  to  me  by 
Avhich  he  attempted  to  put  his  regiment  in  the 
desired  position. 

During  the  battle,  I  was  stationed  not  with  the 
60th,  but  with  the  larger  portion  of  the  brigade, 
occupying  the  line  as  stated  to  the  left  of  the  2nd 
brigade.  We  were  in  open  ground,  and  for  pro- 
tection threw  up  some  hasty  breastworks  of  rails 
taken  from  fences  near  by.  In  front  of  us  was 
a  thick  woods,  under  cover  of  which  the  enemy 
formed  and  charged  us.  We  drove  them  back, 
when  they  brought  up  two  howitzers  and  began 
to  shell  us  vigorously.  At  this  time  they  in- 
flicted great  damage,  the  shells  exploding  among 
the  rails,  scattering  the  fragments  in  every  direc- 
tion and  killing  and  wounding  many. 

Col.  Jones  now  directed  me  to  proceed  towards 
the  right  and  find  Gen'l  Jones;  to  tell  him  of 
our  condition  and  exposure  and  request  him  to 
send  some  artillery  to  our  relief.  I  mounted  a 
horse  which  I  found  in  our  rear  and  rode  to  the 
right.  I  met  General  Jones  and  his  staff,  mount- 
ed, in  the  wood  near  the  battery.  Just  at  that 
moment  our  guns  opened  and  the  enemy's  re- 
plied with  a  terrific  fire  which  swept  the  woods. 
They  soon  got  our  range  and  the  shot  crashed 
through  the  trees  and  bounded  along  the  ground. 
The  General  and  his  stall'  were  in  the  direct  line 
of  fire  and  they  shrank  before  it  bi.t  did  not  at- 
tempt to  get  to  one  side  out  of  range.  I  tried 
to  make  him  understand  what  we  wanted  but  he 
made  no  reply;  he  seemed  somewhat  Hurried, 
although  he  gave  no  signs  of  fear.  I  must  con- 
fess that  I  felt  perfectly  cool  and  collected.  1 
lost  sight  of  him  but  I  believe  that  he  was  killed 
by  this  fire.     Our  artillery  was  soon^silenced. 

I  returned  to  Col.  Jones  and  told  him  the  result 
of  my  mission.  In  passing  back  and  forth  I

BALTIMORE,  MAY,  1911. 


The  Medical  Faculty  of  the  University  are 
urging  that  the  Concjress  0;f  Tropical  Divrascs,  to 
commemorate  the  part  played  by  the  medical 
profession  in  Panama,  be  held  in  this  city.  It  is 
pointed  out  that  Carroll,  Reed  and  Lazear  re- 
ceived their  training  for  the  great  work  they  ac- 
complished in  this  city,  that  Baltimore  is  a  great 
centre  of  medical  research  and  that  it  is  nearest 
the  South  and  the  capital.  The  suggestion  of 
the  Congress  emanated  from  Dr.  Cliarles  M. 
Ellis,  of  Elkton,  and  this  is  another  reason  why 
Baltimore  should  be  selected.  We  hope  now 
that  the  University  has  taken  it  up,  it  will  not 
Ije  let  drop,  bufc  that  the  University  men  will 
push  it  to  a  glorious  success !

The  charter  founding  "The  Colh-f/c  of  Medicine 
of  Mari/land"  was  passed  by  tiic  Legislature  on 
Dec.  18,  1807.  In  its  opinion  regarding  the  legal 
status  of  the  University,  delivered  in  18o8,  the 
Court  of  Appeals   decided   that  this  chnrter  was 


not  annulled  by  that  of  1812  and  is  still  in 
force.  Nevertheless  parts  of  it  may  be  consid- 
ered obsolete,  and  in  the  nature  of  the  case  they 
can  never  become  again  operative.  For  exam- 
ple, that  constituting  the  members  of  the  board 
of  examiners  of  the  State,  together  with  the 
President  and  professors  of  the  College,  and 
their  successors,  a  corporation  to  be  known  as 
"The  Regents  of  the  College,"  in  whom  the 
property  and  government  of  the  college  is  vested. 
But  the  fact  that  this  Board  is  obsolete  does  not 
affect  the  "College,"  which  the  act  of  1812  recog- 
nizes as  consisting  of  the  President  and  Profess- 
ors, i.  e.,  of  the  Fandti/.  This  Faculty,  or  Col- 
.lege  of  Medicine,  and  the  University  are  distinct 
corporations;  the  first  did  not  cease  to  exist 
when  the  second  was  founded,  but  its  Faculty 
became  members  of  the  second,  ,iust  as  they 
might  have  become  directors  of  a  bank.  The 
two  institutions  exist  in  contemplation  of  law 
as  distinct  and  independent  corporations,  in  pos- 
session of  all  the  rights  and  franchises  conferred 
upon  them  by  the  acts  of  their  incorporation, 
and  there  is  rothing  in  the  act  of  1807  inconsist- 
ent with  or  repugnant  to  the  act  of  1812. 

So  that  although  the  original  Board  of  Regents 
consisting  of  the  board  of  medical  examiners  of 
the  State  together  with  the  faculty  has  ceased  to 
exist,  it  is  represented  in  law  by  the  Faculty 
u'hich  is  in  fact  the  collctjc.  Hence  it  is  that  the 
Faculty  of  Physic  of  the  University  has  the  in- 
dependent power  of  holding  property  not  pos- 
sessed by  the  Faculty  of  Law,  and  that  it  has  in 
course  of  time  accumulated  a  considerable 
amount  of  real  estate. 


The  announcement  that  the  bead  of  Olirer 
Cm  III  well  bad  been  exhibited  at  the  meeting  of 
the  Royal  Archaeological  Society  of  England  \& 
of  interest  like  everything  relating  to  tliat  re- 
markable man.  For  150  years  it  has  been  in 
the  possession  of  the  Wilkinson  family  and  still 
shows  the  evidences  of  the  double  blow  of  the 
axe  and  the  marks  of  the  impalement  when  it 
was  exliibitcd  on  Westminster  Bridge.  It  is  kept 
in  a  red  lined  box  of  polished  wood. 

Cromwell  died  of  a  tertian  fever  in  bis  59tb 
year  and  on  the  Restoration  two  years  later, 
although  dead,  he  was  attainted,  his  estate  was 
forfeited,  and  his  remains  were  treated  witli  great 
indignity.

in  1888  he  took  up  postgraduate  work  in  the 
Johns  Hopkins  University.  In  1889  and  1890 
he  held  a  fellowship  and  in  the  latter  year  was 
appointed  instructor  of  Semitic  languages.  In 
1894  he  received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philos-

was  much  exposed  to  the  bullets  and  this  was 
remarked  upon  by  him.  There  was  a  lull  now  in 
the  firing  and  we  waited  in  suspense  for  an  ex- 
planation. General  Jones  was  killed  and  we  were 
without  a  commander.  General  Vaughan,  the 
second  in  command,  was  several  hundred  yards 
away,  and  Thoburn,  Federal,  was  evidently 
coming  in  behind  us  through  the  fatal  gap.  For 
what  was  our  astonishment  on  beholding  a  line 
of  bluecoats  advancing  upon  us  through  the 
woods  m  our  rear.  Oar  retreat  was  nearly  cut 
off  as  they  had  almost  reached  the  river.  But 
one  avenue  of  escape  remained  and  that  was 
down  the  steep  cliff  and  across  the  river.  With- 
out a  moment's  hesitation,  many  of  us  availed 
ourselves  of  it.  Dashing  past  their  flank,  act- 
ually knocking  some  of  them  down  who  got  in 
our  way,  we  made  for  the  precipice.  How  we 
ever  got  down  there  safely,  I  cannot  imagine  but 
fear  of  capture  lent  wings  to  our  flight  and  we 
were  ready  to  brave  anything  to  escape.  Seizing 
the  bushes,  roots  and  rocks,  anything  that  we 
could  catch  hold  of,  we  slid  down  the  steep  bank 
into  the  stream,  wading  across  up  to  our  waists. 
It  seems  to  me  they  must  have  had  strict  orders 
not  to  fire  so  as  not  to  frighten  us,  but  capture  us 
en  masse.  About  1000  of  our  men  were  cap- 
tured on  the  field,  including  60"  officers.  Ac- 
cording to  Pond  {Shenandoah  Valley  in  186 J^. 
N.  Y.  18S3) ,  1500  were  captured  in  all  besides 
killed  and  stragglers;  we  also  lost  3  guns.  Hun- 
ter reported  his  loss  as  420.  Among  the  cap- 
tured was  my  Brigade  Commander,  Col.  Beuhring 
H.  .Jones,  who  was  lame  and  consequently  un- 
able to  get  away.  Though  surrounded,  our  men 
did  not  yield  quietly.  "For  a  short  time,  a 
most  desperate  struggle  took  place,  and  clubbed 
guns  were  used  on  both  sides  and  many  hand-to- 
hand  encounters  took  place"  [Col.  .Jacob  M. 
Campbell,  54th  Pa.  Inf.,  Thoburn's  2nd  Brigade] . 
Jones  was  not  to  blame  for  engaging  in  this 
battle.  He  knew  that  Crook  and  A verill,  with 
10,000  infantry  and  2  batteries,  had  left  Meadow 
Bluff  May  30,  and  were  approaching  Staunton, 
and  it  was  a  question  of  fighting  Hunter's  8500 
with  21  guns,  or  the  combined    force    of    18,000

with  30  guns.  The  junction  was  effected  three 
days  later  at  Staunton,  McCausland  having  ob- 
structed the  march  of  the  column  from  the 
west  as  much  as  he  could,  with  his  own  and 
Jackson's  brigades. 

We  ought  to  have  gained  this  battle.  We 
were  much  outnumbered  it  is  true,  but  we  had 
often  been  victorious  against  superior  forces,  and 
we  were  in  a  strong  position  and  acting  on  the 
defensive.  And  we  had  the  example  before  us 
of  the  brilliant  victory  of  Breckenridge,  only  a 
few  days  before  at  Newmarket — a  short  distance 
awaj'.  The  death  of  our  General  here — as  at 
Cloyd's  mountain  the  month  before — told  pow- 
erfully against  us.  A  commander  ought  to 
guard  his  life  in  the' interest  of  his  army.  For 
what  confusion  does  his  death  occasion !  what 
loss  of  confidence !  The  second  in  command  is 
in  a  remote  part  of  the  field  and  has  to  be  hunt- 
ed up;  he  is  ignorant  perhaps  of  the  plans  of  his 
superior  and  the  disposition  of  his  troops.  It  is 
a  most  trying  position  to  be  placed  in — to  be 
called  suddenly  to  assume  command  in  the 
midst  of  a  battle. 

Col.  Jones  did  me  the  honor  to  refer  to  my 
services  in  this  battle  in  the  following  compli- 
mentary terms:  "I  feel  that  distinctions  are  in- 
vidious where  so  many,  both  olhcers  and  men, 
did  their  whole  duty  so  long  as  resistance  held 
out  the  faintest  prospect  of  success;  yet  I  cannot 
omit  noticing  the  intelligence  and  calm  courage 
of  A.  A.  General  Eugene  F.  Cordell,  as  display- 
ed throughout  the  engagement." 

What  part,  if  any  Vaughan  took  in  this  en- 
gagement, I  do  not  know.  The  next  day  one  of 
his  staff'  upbraided  us  (the  Virginians)  for  not 
having  done  our  part !  He  and  Imboden  re- 
treated by  the  Waynesboro  road  to  Rockfish  Gap, 
where  he  reported  the  next  day  to  Bragg  that  he 
had  3000  men  under  him  including  Imboden 's 
800. 

Those  of  us  who  escaped  in  the  manner  re- 
lated, made  our  way  to  the  ^'alley  pike  and  then 
on  towards  Staunton,  but  before  reaching  that 
place  we  turned  off  east  toward  the  Blue  Ridge 
and  joined  the  remnant  of  our  forces  at  Rockfish 
Gap. 

Vaughan  proceeded  the  day  after  the  battle  to 
erect  fortifications  and  prepare  for  defense.  He 
was  joined  in  a  few  hours  by  convalescents  and 
home  guards  from  Charlottesville  and  elsewhere

along  the  railroad — among  them  Generals  D.  H. 
Hill  and  Hays — and  later  by  Breckenridge  with 
his  two  brigades  and  battery,  which  had  made  a 
forced  march  to  join  us.  Breckenridge  assumed 
command  of  the  whole  force.  A  division  of  cav- 
alry under  Major-General  Duffie  made  a  demon- 
stration against  us  from  the  direction  of  Staun- 
ton, but  finding  us  in  such  force,  it  crossed  the 
Blue  Ridge  at  Tye  Kiver  Gap  further  south,  to 
Amherst  Court  House,  where  it  met  and  repulsed 
Imboden,  capturing  some  of  his  command  and 
inflicting  some  damage  upon  the  railroad  from 
Charlottesville  to  Lynchburg.  To  the  delay  thus 
occasioned,  was  attributed  the  failure  of  Hunter 
to  capture  Lynchburg.

CORRESPONDENCE. 

Washington,  D.  C,  April  20th,  1911. 
My  dear  Dr.  Cordell:  — 

I  had  hoped  to  have  an  item  for  you  concern- 
ing our  Association,  but  Lent  came  on  and  dur- 
ing the  late  past  our  former  president,  Dr.  Monte 
Gritlith,  was  taken  ill  and  remains  so.  On  this 
account  my  remarks  will  be  rather  brief.  Brev- 
ity counts  as  much  as  words  sometimes,  so  en- 
closed find  my  check  for  five  dollars  towards  the 
Endowment  Fund;  it  is  not  much,  but  let  us 
hope  that  it  is  a  starter. 

I  am  looking  for  an  old  cut  or  engraving  of 
the  University,  suitable  for  framing  and  hanging 
in  my  office;  can  you  help  me?  Sometime  since 
there  was  one  that  appeared  in  the  Md.  Medical 
Journal. 

I  do  hope  that  things  are  progressing — we  are 
laying  a  concrete  foundation  upon  which  the  fu- 
ture generation  will  build  a  university  that  will 
be  second  to  none. 

I  read  with  a  great  deal  of  interest  your  article 
concerning  the  Hopkins;  there  ought  not  to  be 
any  competition  between  educational  institutions, 
but  the  Hopkins  people  have  raised  it  and  we 
must  combat  it — that's  all;  and  the  way  to  do 
it  is  by  an  Edowment  Fund.  Disloyalty  to  the 
old  School  and  the  State  has  been  rather  too 
common,  and  it's  up  to  the    loyal    Marylanders 


and  graduates,  to  prevent  certain  folks  sailing 
under  two  colors.     Get  in  line  or  get   out   may 
seem  harsh,  but  it  has  come  to  that  point. 
With  many  kind  regards,  I  am 
Sincerely  yours, 

A.  W.  Valentine.

My  dear  Father 

I  was  this  morning  happy  in  a  visit 
from  Mr.  Zollikoffer,  &  doubly  so  by  the  receipt 
of  your  Letters  &  present.  I  cannot  but  be  very 
glad  to  find  my  Friend  look  so  well  after  his 
fast.  I  presented  the  Letter  to  Mrs.  Shippen, 
and  the  Sash  to  Miss  Livingston,  who  discovered 
the  greatest  pleasure  in  having  it  put  on.  ha 
ha?  she  cried,  and  seemed  to  look  down  with 
contempt  on  every  one,  except  me,  to  whom  she 
gave  a  kiss  to  shew  that  she  was  pleased  with  the 
present  and  indeed  it  was  worth  two  Sashes,  for 
she  is  a  fine  child,  &  is  very  partial  to  me.  You 
must  have  received  my  Letter  by  Mr.  Dawson, 
before  this  time,  in  which  I  mentioned  my  being 
still  indisposed;  I  am  not  a  little  happy  how- 
ever to  tell  you,  that  the  pain  &  swelling  of  my 
knee  have  both  almost  left  me.  I  would  beg 
your  Advice  concerning  the  attendance  of  Dr. 
Swing's  Lecture,  as  I  have  not  yet  had  an  op- 
portunity of  doing  it.  He  has  gone  through 
whatever  might  be  most  useful  to  me,  viz.  Optics 
and  Pneumatics,  during  my  confinement.  I 
shall  soon  write  again,  and  am  glad  that  I  may 
often  expect  Letters  from  you,  by  the  Stage. 
Believe  me,  with  my  Love  to  Mamma,  Betsy  & 
Mr.  Messonier,  yr  dutiful  Son 

And.  Wiesenthal.

Mr.  Pratt  a  merchant,  or  one  Mr.  Dresdale, 
who  will  return  again,  ]\Ir.  Odibon  not  being  as 
yet  returnd,  we  have  not  any  of  your  Letters. 

You  will  not  forget  my  former  Instructions, 
to  take  every  Opportunity  even  whilst  you  dis- 
sect to  have  occasionally  some  Operation  per- 
formed, that  of  the  Eye  you  know  my  Opinion 
of.  in  Dissecting  Arteries  or  making  them  con- 
spicuous, you  will  be  able  to  become  informed 
with  the  operation  of  an  Aneurisma.  on  the 
head  you  will  be  able  to  perform  the  Operation 
of  trepaning  know  the  places  where  to  trepan 
and  where  not.  The  introducing  the  Catheter 
into  the  bladder  is  likewise  an  Affair  which  will 
require  a  little  knowledge,  it  leads  to  Lythotomy 
— the  Scrotum  contains  the  Testicles,  the  Ail- 
ment of  which  will  be  well  to  be  scrutinized; 
the  Tunica  vaginalis  in  which  is  the  Seat  of  the 
Hydrocele  or  hernia  scrotalis,  and  the  Operation 
of  an  incarcerated  hernia  being  very  Material. 

Several  Books  may  be  necessary  for  you  to 
have,  the  new  Edition  of  OuUen's  practice  of 
Physic  (not  his  materia  Medica,  for  that  I  have) 
Heister's  Surgery  which  you  may  probably  get 
secondhand. 

Mama  and  your  Sister  Messonier  talk  strongly 
to  take  a  Trip  to  Philadelphia  when  your  term 
is  expird  in  Order  to  fetch  you  home,  and  I  do 
not  know  as  yet  how  I  shall  prevent  it,  those 
Excursions  generally  prove  very  Expensive  to 
nie  who  canot  well  bear  them. 

You  may  be  assurd  that  they  are  all  well  but 
I  have  been  rather  poorly,  still  able  to  do  my 
Business,  we  all  salute  you  and  I  am  with  all 
imaginable  Tenderness  my  Dr  Son  your  affec-

In  an  Introductory  Lecture  to  the  course  of 
1837-38,  Prof.  H.  Willis  Baxley  thus  spoke  of 
John  D.  Godvian,  'IS:  "Who  is  not  familiar 
with  the  fate  of  Godman?  I  would  we  had  earned 
and  were  more  worthy  the  high  privilege  of  call- 
ing him  our  oicii  Godman!  But  that  depriva- 
tion is  alike  our  fault  and  our  misfortune — 
those  who  should  have  cherished  him  cast  him 
off  to  seek  honours  and  distinction  among  strang- 
ers. Let  his  undying  fame,  while  it  perpetuates 
their  reproach,  stand  upon  the  enduring  found- 
ation of  his  own  merit. 

"To  what  were  his  hardships  and  his  early  fate 
to  be  attributed?  Let  his  brief  history  answer. 
'Left  motherless,'  as  he  himself  says,  'at  the 
early  age  of  two  years  and  fatherless  and  friend- 
less before  he  was  five,  cast  among  strangers,  de- 
prived of  his  projjerty  by  fraud  and  compelled 
to  eat  the  bread  of  misery  and  drink  of  the  cup 
of  sorrow,  he  passed' the  flower  of  his  days  in  a 
state  little  better  than  that  of  slavery  and  ar- 
rived at  manhood  through  poverty  and  desola- 
tion.' And  yet,  by  incessant  toil  and  unbend- 
ing energy  of  mind,  he  acquired  the  treasures  of 
classical  learning  and  the  honours  of  a  profession, 
at  an  early  age.  Ir.  this  school  he  first  sought 
the  streams  of  science,  here  his  genius  first  ex- 
panded its  wing  and  gave  token  of  the  loftiness 
of  its  future  flight,  here  were  made,  by  the  ob- 
servant and  the  generous,  the  predictions  of  that 
eminence  which  he  subsequently  reached  and 
these  halls  first  echoed  that  eloquence,  which,  in

after  years,  distinguished  him  as  a  teacher  of  an- 
atomy above  all  his  contemporuries. 

Solicited,  at  the  moment  of  his  stepping 
upon  the  threshold  of  his  profession  and, 
without  particular  preparation,  to  discliarge  for 
time  the  unrequited  duties  of  a  professorship^ 
the  able  incumbent  of  which  had-  met  with  a 
severe  casualtj^,  the  manner  in  which  he  fulfilled 
the  task  commanded  for  him  the  admiration  and 
friendship  of  all,  except  those  who  should  have 
been  the  first  to  acknowledge  and  the  readiest  to 
reward  his  merit.  And  why  was  it,  that  the  pre- 
ceptors of  his  youth  did  not  become  the  patrons 
of  his  genius  ?  Why,  when  want  kept  hiai  hov- 
ering about  the  scene  of  his  early  struggles,  was 
not  patriotism  prompt  to  secure  the  glory  of  his 
future  renown  ?  Whj'  was  a  son  of  IMaryland 
forced  to  ciuit  her  soil,  sad  of  heart,  and  disap- 
pointed in  hope,  to  seek  among  strangers  that 
pittance  and  encouragement,  which  was  denied 
him  by  those  who  should  regret  their  own  heart- 
less injustice  ?  Did  prejudice  close  the  avenue 
to  fame  against  merit  ?  Or  did  contracted  tnvy 
dread  the  competition  of  superior  talent  ?  Or 
were  the  portals  of  the  temple  shut  against  him, 
because  inheritance  had  not  bestowed  the  magic 
word  or  fortune  given  him  the  golden  key  that 
commanded  the  entrance  ?  Whatever  may  have 
been  the  cause  of  Godman's  loss  to  the  institu- 
tion of  which  he  would  have  been  its  highest 
boast  and  proudest  ornament,  his  star  had  risen 
not  to  set  obscurely  and  the  bright  rays  which  it 
has  cast  over  the  world  of  science  have  lighted 
thousands  to  the  pure  sources  of  instruction 
from  which  he  drank  so  deeplj^  He  had  cast 
the  pebble  into  the  deep  waters  of  knowledge  and 
no  jealous  hush  could  again  settle  their  disturbed 
bosom,  but,  as  the  wavelets  spread  and  their  cir- 
cles widened,  the  joyous  shores  received  their 
hallowed  kiss  and  echoed  in  gladness  the  tribute 
to  Nature's  young  apostle. 

"Conscious  of  the  force  of  his  powers  and, 
though  sorrowful,  not  discouraged  by  early  ad- 
versity, he  fixed  his  eye  upon  the  most  elevated 
and  honoured  station  known  to  the  profession  in 
this  country  and  resolved  to  render,  sooner  or 
later,  complete  justice  to  those  who  had  failed  to

cherish  his  talents  and  respond  tp  his  righteous* 
aspirations.  How  nearly  he  achieved  the  great 
purpose  of  his  ambition  is  matter  of  history. 
Like  his  great  examplar  Bichat,  he  was  the 
builder  of  his  own  fame.  Like  iiim  overcoming 
all  obstacles,  he  accomplished  more  than  any 
other  of  his  countrymen  in  the  the  same  brief 
period.  And,  like  him,  he  left  us  in  the  dawn 
of  his  glory,  as  the  'light  cloud  fading  away  into 
heaven  with  the  morning  breath,  rather  than 
travail  through  the  weary  day,  to  gather  perhaps 
in  darkness  and  end  in  storm.' 

"In  his  private  life  as  in  his  professional,  Dr. 
Godman  was  an  example  of  excellence.  The 
child  of  impulse  in  his  early  years,  and  indulging 
occasionally  in  a  petulance  that  was  not  native 
to  him,  but  which  sprang  from  that  sense  of  de- 
pendence so  apt  to  make  one  of  just  pride  ap- 
pear unamiable,  he  soon,  by  the  force  of  his  vig- 
orous sense,  overcame  that  tendency  and  by  an 
honorable  life,  sedulously  devoted  to  the  cultiva- 
tion of  a  strong  understanding,  and  the  improve- 
ment of  a  generous,  kind,  and  feeling  heart,  he 
was  enabled  to  direct  judiciously  the  taste  of 
others  as  well  as  those  confided  to  his  instruction, 
while  he  looked  on  his  equals  without  jealousy 
and  his  seniors  with  deferential  respect. 

"And  here  I  might  apply  to  him  the  beautiful 
description  of  a  favourite  writer,  who  little  knew% 
when  giving  expression  to  the  images  of  his 
chaste  fancy,  that  his  ideal  sketch  would  have  a 
living  representative,  and  that  he  but  delineated 
the  character  and  feelings  of  one  who  was  to 
adorn  a  far  distant  land,  one  young  in  j'ears 
though  old  in  knowledge  and  wise  in  all  that  re- 
conciles us  to  present  ills  and  best  fits  us  for  the 
enjoyments  of  the  future.  'By  his  benevolence, 
he  felt  for  the  multitude  he  instructed,  indulg- 
ence and  affection.  Relying  on  the  real  great- 
ness of  his  temper,  he  made  no  attempts  to  in- 
crease his  importance  by  low  railery,  or  un- 
founded satire  and  he  never  sunk  into  supine  in- 
dolence or  groveling  melancholy.  Oonsiderinn: 
his  profession  as  the  means  of  ameliorating  man- 
kind, he  persevered  in  the  cause  of  truth  with 
cheerful  rectitude  and  virtuous  dignity.  His  in- 
tellectual resources  satisfactorily  supplied  the  ab- 
sence of  society,  his  capacious  mind  enabled  him 
to  increase  his  stores  of  useful  knowledge,  his 
discriminating  powers  enabled  him  to  elucidate 
the  subject  be  explored  and  he  felt  as  great  de-

"Such  was  John  D.  Godman — a  model  worthy

cessful efforts  are  a  fit  subject  for  reflection,  now

regardless  of  other  conditions  than  fitness.

AT  4.15  I'.   M.,  (1X  TIIE  OCCASION  OF  THE  GKAD-

UNIVERSITY.* 


Dr.  Wiley  said: 

Members  of  the  Faculty  of  the  University  of 
Maryland,  Students  and  Graduates  of  the  Uni- 
versity: As  a  farmer  I  am  struck  with  this  fnct 
today,  that  there  is  one  crop  in  this  country  that 
never  fails.  No  matter  how  dry  it  may  be  nor 
how  late  the  frost  may  come  in  the  spring  nor 
how  apathtic  a  husbandman  may  prove  himself 
to  be,  the  crop  of  bachelors  and  the  crop  of  doc- 
tors never  fail  us.  (Laughter  and  applause) 
But  it  is,  I  suppose,  a  mark  of  the  wonderful 
prosperity  of  the  country  that  this  crop  goes  on 
ever  increasing  in  volume.  As  I  saw  this  great 
concourse  of  gowned  young  men,  and  one  or  two 
young  women — for  I  see  you  have  a  sprinkling 
of  a  competition  which  you  have  got  to  look  out 
for  in  the  future — I  wondered  where  j'ou  are  go- 
ing to  find  places,  if  you  are  all  going  to  get  jobs. 
And  remember  that  there  are  other  universities 
besides  that  of  Maryland  in  this  country.  I  have 
been  going  now  for  about  two  weeks  almost  every 
day  addressing  people  who  are  graduating,  so  to 
speak,  so  I  have  seen  a  great  many  of  them  and 
I  hope  that  the  pleasure  which  I  get  upon  look- 
ing into  the  faces  of  young  graduates  may  never 
be  denied  me  as  long  as  I  live  and  havea  voice.  I 
hope  that  the  institutions  of  this  country  will  con- 
tinue to  ask  me  to  come  to  their  commencement  be- 
cause I  can  assure  you  that  great  as  your  pleasure 
is  in  receiving  your  diploma,  it  gives  me  even 
greater  pleasure  to  look  into  the  faces  of  these 
young  people  who  are  to   be  the  arbiters  of  the

rapher  and  revised  by  I'r.  AViley. 


destinies  of  this  country.  (Applause)  So  I  am 
glad  to  see  you  today,  I  am  glad  to  see  such 
numbers  of  j'ou,  so  many  who  have  completed 
the  courses  assigned  and  who  are  ready,  I  sup- 
pose, to  hegin  the  more  active  duties  of  life. 
Some  of  you  are  unfitted  for  that  yet  because  I 
see  some  are  onlj  bachelors  of  arts  or  bachelors 
of  science.  Now  with  what  profound  pity  you 
must  look  down  upon  a  bachelor  of  arts  you 
who  bear  the  dignity  of  doctor  of  medicine  or  of 
law!  The  one  is  only  a  preparation  for  the  de- 
gree which  you  have  already  received,  but  let  me 
tell  you  bachelors  of  science  and  bachelors  of  arts 
that  there  is  not  so  very  much  difference  some- 
times after  all  between  the  amount  of  learning 
which  a  bachelor  of  science  or  of  arts  may  have 
and  that  which  is  borne  by  a  doctor  of  medicine 
or  a  bachelor  of  law.  I  have  been  opposed  for 
a  great  many  years — but  I  do  not  want  you  to 
draw  from  this  any  reflection  upon  you  young 
bachelors  or  doctors  of  medicine — but  I  have 
long  been  of  the  opinion  that  it  is  not  proper  to 
give  the  degree  of  "Doctor  of  Medicine"  to  a 
-graduate  in  medicine  because  the  word  "doctor" 
does  not  mean  a  physician  any  lunger.  It  never 
did,  although  in  this  country  when  we  speak' 
of  a  man  as  a  doctor  we  associate  the  idea  with 
the  practice  of  medicine  in  some  way,  in  some 
form  or  other.  The  word  "doctor'"  does  not 
have  anything  to  do  with  medic-ine  ncccessarily. 
The  term  "doctor"'  means  one  Avho  is  learned, 
one  who  has  approved  himself  a  man  of  learn- 
ing. I  think  the  English  custom  is  a  great  deal 
better.  It  is  a  long  while  after  graduation  in 
medicine  before  the  English  physician  can  as- 
sume the  title  of  "Doctor".  But  thathas  nothing 
to  do  with  the  case  today.  You  are  doctors,  or 
soon  are  to  be,  and  I  do  not  suppose  j'ou  ought 
to  be  deprived  of  that  pleasure,  but  it  is  a  long 
while    before   you  can   get  to  be  doctors  of  laws

OLD  MARYLAND. 


and  some  of  you  never  will.  1  was  almost  as  old 
as  I  am  now  before  I  got  to  be  a  doctor  of  law. 
You  do  not  have  to  be  a  lawyer  to  be  a  doctor  of 
laws.  But  the  term  doctor  I  claim  should  be  re- 
served to  give  to  a  man  after  he  has  proved 
himself  in  the  active  field  of  service.  In  the 
old  times,  and  probably  yet,  there  was  a  fiction 
which  said,  "The  King  can  do  no  wrong.'' 
That  is  to  say  that  there  is  a  divinity  that  doth 
hedge  about  the  king  which  prevents  him  from 
doing  a  wrong.  That  naturally  goes  with  the  idea 
of  the  divine  right  to  rule.  And  in  those  olden 
days  too,  in  tire  feudal  times,  the  lord  or  baron 
was  supposed  to  be  the  protector  of  his  people. 
They  had  no  other  protector  except  their  lord. 
If  he  did  not  look  after  them  they  had  nobody  to 
look  after  them.  And  hence  there  came  to  be 
associated  with  the  lord  of  the  realm,  the  baron 
of  the  realm,  an  idea  of  justice  or  protection 
and  of  support  among  his  people  and  hence  when 
this  title  was  given  to  the  lord  of  the  realm,  as 
it  usually  was,  he  became  the  lord  or  the  aristo- 
crat or  noble  of  the  province.  If  he  was  the 
right  kind  of  man — and  being  a  man  he  natur- 
ally was  the  right  kind  of  man  because  most 
men  are — he  looked  out  for  and  protected  his 
people.  If  you  have  studied  Greek  you  will 
know  that  the  term  "aristocrat"  means  the  rule 
of  the  best,  agaffwK  being  the  Greek  for  "good" 
and  aridos  being  the  ?jperlative.  I  mention  this 
because  it  is  forty  years  since  I  studie<l 
Greek  and  I  want  you  to  understand  that  I  have 
not  forgotten  it.  (Laughter.)  These  aristocrats 
all  looked  after  the  people  and  protected  their  in- 
terests in  those  early  days  and  therefore  there 
came  into  existence  this  idea  which  the  French 
have  so  beautifully  expressed  by  the  phrase  no- 
blesse oblige.  The  noble,  the  high  position-  im- 
poses an  obligation,  in  other  words,  upon  the 
men  who  have  achieved  it.  80  I  say  today  that 
the  distinction  of  receiving  a  diploma  from  this 
ancient  and  honorable  University  imposes  upon 
each  one  of  you  an  obligation,  an  obligation  as 
the  minister  has  so  beautifully  said  in  his  prayer, 
to  serve  humanity.  And  let  me  tellyou  that  the 
only  good  you  will  ever  get  out  of  your  diploma 
will  be  in  proportion  as  you  realize  the  obligation 

THE  WESTERN  NATIONAL  BANK

^""'soiicuid'"""'  U  N.  EUTAW  STREET 


it  imposes  upon  you.  (App'ause)  To  be  sure 
the  old  diplomas,  and  I  suppose  the  new  ones 
also,  useil  to  read  in  very  bad  Latin  that  you 
were  admitted  to  all  the  rights  and  privileges  of 
the  academy  but  in  the  olden  times  they  added 
to  it  and  ahn  all  the  duties  thereunto  pertaining. 
This  is  not  a  mere  admission  to  a  privilege  but 
it  is  an  admission  to  a  privilege  on  the  condition 
that  the  duty  which  is  attached  to  that  privilege 
is  performed. 

So  I  am  going  to  speak  to  you  today  on  that 
idea  of  noblesse  oblige.  The  obligation  which 
graduation  imposes  upon  each  one  of  you  in  the 
particular  course  of  duty  wiiich  you  are  to  per- 
form is  embodied  in  this  idea  of  noblesse  oblige. 
Now  in  a  graduation  of  this  kind  where  all  the 
schools  are  represented  I  can  hardly  select  any 
particular  one  to  whom  to  address  my  remarks 
and  so  I  am  going  to  make  them  as  general  as 
possible  so  that  all  may  he  included. 

Now  let  us  begin  with  this  distinction,  that 
the  difference  between  the  man  who  bears  a  di- 
ploma and  the  one  who  does  not  is  one  of  broad- 
ened intellectual  conception.  The  man  with  a 
diploma  ought  to  have  a  broader  view  of  things 
than  the  man  who  has  not  a  diploma.  Sometimes 
that  is  not  the  case.  Some  quite  learned  men 
have  never  been  to  college  and  some  who 
have  been  through  colleges  and  univer- 
sities and  who  have  diplomas,  are  pretty  nar- 
row, I  have  found,  in  their  views,  and  the  prin- 
ciple which  I  enunciate,  then,  is  a  general  one 
and  does  not  always  apply.  But  if  you  do  not 
have  a  broader  view  of  things  then  your  course 
in  this  institution  has  been  in  vain  in  so  far  as 
you  are  concerned.  If  you  have  not  knowledge 
and  a  knowledge  how  to  apply  knowledge,  which 
the  man  who  does  not  bear  the  diploma  has  nut 
got,  then  you  have  not  done  your  duty,  in  this 
institution  or  the  institution  has  not  dc'Ue  its 
duty  to  you,  one  of  the  two.  Now  having  this 
increased  power,  having  become  a  nobleman  in 
the  true  sense  of  the  word,  there  is  imposed  upon 
you  that  obligation  of  jioWc-s.s-e  oblige.  What  are 
some  of  the  things  that  are  imposed  upon  you  ? 
In  the  first  place  you  should  become  good  citi- 
zens of  this  country.    That  is  the  first  thing  you

ought  to  look  out  for,  to  see  that  j-ou  have  the 
right  view  of  public  affairs.  Now  I  am  not  go- 
ing to  give  any  tirade  on  politics  only  to  saj'  this, 
tliat  we  are  too  apt  in  this  country,  all  of  us,  to 
go  blindly  in  our  political  creed.  We  all  have 
l)een  brought  up  perhaps — I  know  most  of  us 
have — to  some  particular  religious  creed  and  we 
are  very  apt  when  we  grow  up  to  follow  that 
creed.  Someti.nes  we  get  away  from  all  creed-, 
which  is  an  unfortunate  thing.  It  is  better  to 
follow  the  on3  yoa  were  brought  up  in  than  to 
have  none  at  all,  even  if  that  be  faulty.  And 
tlie  same  is  true  with  politics.  You  ought  to 
have  some  politics  and  if  you  haven't  time  to 
have  some  of  your  own  you  ought  to  take  tliosc 
of  your  father,  if  you  have  faith  and  confidence 
enougli  in  your  father's  politics,  and  I  trust  you 
have.  If  you  liaven't  lime  to  stuily  them  for 
j'ourself  then  follow  along  in  the  line  in  which 
you  have  Ijeen  brought  up.  But  it  is  very  hard 
indeed  to  break  awaj'  from  those  moorings,  and 
yet  the  duty  of  every  young  man  and  every 
young  woman  is  to  have  some  politics.  I  say 
"young  woman"  because  you  are  going  to  vote 
pretty  soon.  I  see  you  back  there  in  the  au- 
dience, you  ai'e  going  to  have  the  ballot  just  as 
sure  as  I  stand  here  and  you  are  going  to  take 
j'art  in  the  civic  uplift  of  this  country  and  it  is 
the  dutj-  of  every  young  man  and  every  young 
woman  to  think  about  political  affairs  and  not 
to  be  blindly  led  by  j'our  leader?  whoever  they 
may  be.  This  is  a  country  of  free  thought.  We 
have  not  had  any  restriction  placed  upon  a  man's 
thoughts  and  their  expression  unless  they  tend 
to  disrupt  society.  As  long  as  your  thoughts 
are  right,  as  long  as  thej' are  for  the  benefit 
of  mankind,  you  have  your  rightto  your  thoughts 
anil  your  right  to  your  religion  and  your  rightto 
your  politics  and  your  right  to  your  philosophy 
and  your  right  to  your  medical  profession  or 
whatever  you  want,  and  it  is  your  duty  to  be  an 
independent  thinker  on  matters  referring  to  the 
welfare  of  the  state,  whether  it  be  of  the  city  or 
state  or  the  nation.  So  I  see  the  development  in 
this  country,  and  largelj'  among  college  and  uni- 
versity bred  men,  toward  that  spirit  of  political

independence  which  means  so  ilnuch  for  the  wel- 
fare of  our  country  and  so  much  for  the  perpet- 
uation of  our  free  institutions.  Now  let  me  tell 
you  young  people  that  we  are  entering  upon  an 
age  of  ferments;  the  whole  civic  body  is  teeming 
with  those  organisms  which  produce  the  fermen- 
tation of  the  civic  spirit,  and  we  are  having  de- 
veloped in  this  country  dangerous  tendencies  as 
a  result  and  a  natural  result  of  the  condition 
of  affairs  which  exists  in  this  country  today. 
You  cannot  expect  the  people  of  this  country  to 
sit  quietly  by  and  see  all  the  wealth  of  this  great 
nation  in  a  feu*  hands.  There  must  be  some- 
thing wrong  when  conditions  of  that  kind  prevail. 
Now  how  are  those  conditimis  to  be  met?  I  say 
l)j'  philosophical  inquiry,  by  a  .judicial  spirit  of 
inquiry  and  not  iiy  mob  and  force  and  violence,  as 
those  conditions  have  been  met  in  other  coun- 
tries and  will  be  met  in  this  country  if  they  are 
not  met  iti  some  other  way.  Therefore  I  say  the 
solution  of  these  great  problems  of  socialism  and 
anarchy  and  the  rights  of  the  common  people 
and  the  rights  of  the  workmen  and  the  housing 
of  the  workmen  and  all  those  things  which  work 
for  public  sanitation  and  welfare  and  civic  up- 
lift have  got  to  be  solved  by  philosophical  in- 
quiry and  a  judicial  disposition  of  the  mind. 
And  it  is  the  educated  people  of  this  country  who 
are  going  to  solve  those  problems;  the  graduates 
of  our  universities  and  of  our  colleges  are  to  be 
the  leaders  in  this  and  you  as  citizens  will  have 
to  face  these  problems  in  the  near  future.  They 
are  upon  us  now  and  j-ou  have  to  act  wisely  and 
well  in  order  that  their  solution  may  be  a  proper 
one.  We  do  not  want  to  see  this  country  pre- 
cipitated into  the  throes  of  a  revolution  because 
the  proletariat  is  deprived  of  its  rights.  The 
man  who  is  boi-n  in  this  country  has  the  right  to 
live  and  the  right  to  earn  his  living  and  the  right 
to  work  and  the  riglit  to  receive  the  wages  for  his 
work  and  every  time  that  a  dollar  is  improperly 
diverted  to  a  coffer  where  it  does  not  belong,  that 
moment  one  dollar  is  taken  from  what  the  peo- 
ple of  this  countiy  should  have  as  a  common  in- 
heritance. You  have  read  Henry  George  and 
his  theories  of  the  land.     Nobody  owns  land  in

this  country.  WE  all  say  wf)  own  land  and  think 
we  dii  but  there  is  not  a  man  in  this  house  nor 
in  any  part  of  this  country  who  owns  a  foot  of 
land.  He  holds  it  by  the  sufferance  of  the  pub- 
lic and  the  State  can  come  in  and  take  eyery 
foot  of  land  that  he  owns  today  if  it  wants  to. 
Why  do  you  have  to  pay  taxes  on  things  you 
own  ?  Because  you  do  not  own  them,  if  you  did 
nobody  would  have  an3^  right  in  them  at  all. 
And  we  recognize  the  right  of  taxation  and  the 
right  of  eminent  domain  and  the  right  which 
every  State  has  to  take  not  only  the  property  but 
the  lives  nf  its  citizens  for  the  public  service. 
Just  think  for  a  moment,  then,  that  you  are  not 
independent,  you  are  not  standing  alone,  but  you 
owe  your  property,  your  service  and  your  lives 
to  your  country  and  hence  as  citizens  this  sense 
of  obligation,  this  noblemr  ohl'uje,  rests  upon  you 
to  become  gond  citizens. 

Then  yuu  want  to  make  good  husbands  and 
fathers.  And  while  I  believe  in  the  rights  of 
women,  that  a  woman  Las  every  right  in  the 
world  that  a  man  has,  she  has  the  right  to  vote, 
she  has  the  righ'^  to  earn  her  own  living  and  she 
has  the  right  to  enter  any  profession  she  chooses 
to  enter,  but  the  woman's  sphere  is  not  alone  in 
professional  life,  it  is  as  a  mother  and  in  the 
home,  and  there  is  only  work  enougli  in  this 
country  for  half  of  the  grown  people  to  do;  even 
if  there  were  not,  I  would  not  Avant  to  seethe  wo- 
men do  the  work;  I  do  not  want  to  live  in  a  coun- 
try where  the  men  sit  in  idleness  and  the  women 
do  the  work,  because  while  a  woman  can  adorn 
an  idle  chair  a  man  cannot.  (Laughter)  At 
the  same  time  I  would  not  deny  any  wonifai  (if 
this  broad  land  a  single  right  that  I  possess. 
She  has  a  right  to  her  own  views  in  politics,  she

has  a  right  to  own  property, she  has  a  right  to  rule 
her  husband  if  she  can  (Laughter  and  applause) 
— and  most  of  them  can  (renewed  laughter),  and 
she  has  a  right  to  vote  and  she  has  a  right  to  be 
a  physician  and  also  a  miniser  of  the  gospel  and 
a  citizen  of  this  great  republic,  the  highest  hunur 
of  all.  (Applause)  But  with  those  rights — and 
in  this  it  is  the  same  as  with  the  diploma — go 
the  duties  of  woman  and  the  duty  of  the  woman 
is  at  the  home, to  be  the  mother.  That  is  her  dutj'. 
Every  right  has  a  duty  imposed  with  it,  every 
single  one.  No  man  ought  to  claim  any  pro- 
tection under  the  laws  of  this  country  wlio  does 
not  give  some  service  to  the  country.  The  right 
of  protection  under  the  law  rests  wholly  upon 
the  duty  which  citizens  render  to  the  State.  So 
we  cannot  claim  that  protection  unless  we  render 
that  service. 

Tlien  again,  you  young  people  have  a  duty  which 
you  have  already  performed  to  a  large  extent  and 
that  is  in  a  preparation  for  this  service  ^vhich 
you  propose  to  render.  You  have  already,  by 
passing  the  examinations  and  receiving  the  ap- 
proval of  your  faculties,  shown  that  you  have 
prepared  yourselves  for  the  several  duties  which 
you  are  [iroposing  to  undertake.  Bui  do  not  fall 
into  this  error  of  thinking  that  the  period  of 
preparation  and  study  is  past.  It  is  only  begin- 
ning. You  have  only  fabricated  the  implement 
up  to  the  present  time,  the  plow  which  y(.iu  are 
to  use  in  the  cultivation  of  the  field,  and  I  do 
not  care  how  skillful  you  are  in  theories,  it  does 
not  necessarily  spell  success.  I  could  sit  down,  if 
I  knew  how,  and  teach  a  man  how  to  make  a 
watch  and  tell  him  how  every  single  part  of 
that  Avatch  was  to  be  made,  what  size  it  should 
be  and  how  it  should  be  put  together  but  I  would 
not  like  to  trust  that  man  to  make  a  chronome- 
ter to  run  the  universe  by  the  first  time  he  at- 
tempted it.  He  would  make  a  sorry  spectacle  of 
it.  Once  I  heard  the  story  of  an  eminent  spec- 
ialist, an  oculist,  Avho  Avas  complimented  on  his 
skill  in  being  able  to  save  the  sight  of  the  eyes. 
He  saved  the  sight  in  cases  that  were  almost  hope- 
less and  when  complimented  upon  his  skill  he 
said,  Yes,  I  am  skillful;  I  can  do  these  things 
I  can  operate  upon  an  eye  with  the  greatest  pre- 
cision and  restore  apparently  a  vision  that  has 
A'anished  and  prevent  the  destruction  of  that 
Avhich  seems  to  be  going,  but,  he  said,  I  destroy- 
ed a  bushel  of  eyes  before  I  learned  hoAV  to  save

one.  Now  it  is  hard  on  the  people  who  have  the 
bushel  of  eyes.  (Laughter)  I  expect  it  is  going  ;o 
be  hard  on  some  of  the  sick  people  in  this  country 
when  they  first  fall  into  the  hands  of  these  young 
doctors,  and  hard  on  some  of  the  clients  who  go 
before  the  Courts  represented  by  so'.re  of  these 
young  lawyers.  I  fear  they  will  be  mulcted  more 
heavily  than  they  should  when- these  young  law- 
yers take  hold  of  them.  And  I  expect  that  many 
a  tooth  will  ache  that  ought  to  be  in  placid  re- 
tirement when  these  dentists  get  hold  of  them, 
and  many  a  person,  I  fear,  may  have  ciualms  in 
his  stomach  when  the  yoimg  phamacist  tirst  pre- 
scribes for  him. 

They  tell  a  storj'  of  a  man  who  had  a  lawyer 
who  was  very  skillful.  His  client  knew  he  was 
guilty  and  that  he  was  going  to  be  convicted.  It 
was  a  civil  case  so  he  did  not  have  to  be  in  Court 
at  the  time.  The  lawyer  presented  his  case 
to  the  Jury  and  much  to  the  lawyer's  surprise 
the  -Jury  brought  in  a  verdict  of  not  guiltj-.  He 
telegraphed  his  client,  ".Justice  has  been  done" 
and  he  received  immediately  a  reph'  by  tele- 
gram saying,  "Appeal  at  once."  (Laughter). 

A  mother  once  called  in  the  old  fashioned 
"Root  and  yarb"  doctor  for  her  boy  who  was 
suffering  with  chills  and  fever.  Now  I  was  born 
and  brought  up  in  Indiana  and  I  know  what 
the  "ager""  is.  A  man  was  not  a  respectable 
citizen  in  that  State  unless  he  had  an  "'ager- 
cake""  as  Ijig  as  a  bread  basket.  It  was  his  title  to 
nobility.  (Laughter)  The  mother  called  in  this 
old  doctor,  as  I  faid,  who  prescribed  for  the  boj-. 
He  took  from  his  stock  of  herbs  one  of  the  roots 
and  he  scraped  it  yei'y  carefully  and  put  it  in  a 
glass  and  poured  hot  water  on  it  and  set  it  to 
one  side.  Then  he  scraped  another  piece  from  the 
same  root  and  put  it  in  another  glass  and  pour- 
ed hot  water  on  it  and  set  it  to  one  side.  Then 
he  said  to  the  mother,  "\Mien  the  boj' has  a  chill 
you  give  him  the  first  preparation  and  when  lie 
has  fever  you  give  him  the  second  one."  '"But,"" 
she  said,  "yott  took  those  both  from  the  same 
root,  didn"t  you  ?""  "Ah,  yes,  I  did  but  did 
you  notice  that  I  scraped  the  first  one  up,  that 
is  high-cockalorum,  and  I  scraped  the  second 
one  down, — this  is  lo-cockahigrum."  (Laughter 
and  applause. )

Now  I  fear  that  much  of  the  beginning  prac- 
tice of  the  young  phj'sician  will  be  of  the  high- 
cockalorum  and  the  lo- cocahighritm  stripe  and  I 
say  it  is  hard  on  those  persons  who  lost  the 
bushel  of  eyes  in  order  that  you  maj'  become 
skillful,  but  we  have  to  take  these  chauces  in  this 
world  and  if  we  are  brave  enough  to  employ  the 
young  physician  or  the  young  dentist  or  the 
young  lawyer  we  at  least  confer  a  service  on 
those  who  come  after  us. 

Therefore  I  say  that  the  preparation  or  ac- 
quiring of  the  skill  which  you  have  largely  ac- 
complLshed  must  be  supplemented  by  its  actual 
practice  and  that  is  where  the  judgment,  the  in- 
telligence and  the  good  sense,  what  we  used  to 
call  "horse  sense" — I  do  not  know  why  they 
called  it  that  because  I  have  seen  some  horses 
that  have  less  sense  than  any  human  beings  I 
ever  saw — but  the  good  horse  sense  of  the  indi- 
vidual, his  individuality,  his  power  of  discrimi- 
nation, come  into  use  and  it  makes  a  success  of 
one  man  and  the  lack  of  it  makes  a  failure  of  an- 
other. Now  yoit  are  not  all  going  to  sitcceed.  I 
am  not  going  to  specify  those  of  you  who  are  go- 
ing to  fail,  so  you  need  not  take  it  personally. 
But  here  there  are  two  hundred  and  ten  gradti- 
ates,  I  may  say,  and  at  least  ten  of  those  are  go- 
ing to  make  failures  of  life.  You  can  draw  lots, 
all  of  you,  to  find  out  who  they  are,  because  I 
cannot  tell  you  today  which  ones  they  are,  but 
partly  it  will  be  the  result  of  environment  in 
which  they  are  placed  and  largely  it  will  be  the 
result  of  the  subject  himself.  There  are  some 
people  who  wottld  be  hungrj-  if  you  were  to  turn 
them  loose  in  a  banquet  hall  filled  with  all  the 
best  things  to  eat  in  the  world  and  if  you  were  to 
tell  them  to  help  themselves  thej'  would  not 
know  how  to  eat.  There  are  some  people  who 
would  fail  under  the  most  favorable  circum- 
stances for  success.  There  are  others  who  will 
succeed  where  the  environment  seems  almost 
hopeless.  And  I  tell  you  that  one  of  the  princi- 
ples which  is  most  important  in  this  respect  is 
wise  patience.  The  man  who  will  calmly 
wait  tmder  difficulties,  under  stress,  under  hard- 
ships, under  privations,  feeling  that  he  has  the 
stuff  in  him  to  make  a  success  and  that  he  will 
succeed  if  he  just  keeps  on,  that  man  is  almost 
certain  to  succeed,  almo.st  certain,  I  say.  Yet 
it  is  one  of  the  hardest  things  in  the  world  to 
teach    a   person   the  faculty   of    waiting.     The 


86 


OLD  MARYI;AND. 


young  man  wants  to  bound  at  once  into  success. 
He  has  had  four  or  six  or  eiglifc  years'  study  in 
preparing  for  life  and  now  lio  expects  in  one 
year  to  mal^e  a  repu'ation  and  a  name  for  liiin- 
self  and  to  make  an  income.  Now  tliat  is  im- 
possible except  in  rare  instances  at  the  present 
time,  so  the  man  who  patiently  waits  and  who 
works  while  he  waits  and  never  gives  up,  never 
gives  up  his  purposes,  holds  to  the  one  purpose, 
is  bound  to  succeed.  But,  young  men,  you  are 
never  going  to  succeed  by  trying  this  thing  to- 
day and  that  thing  tomorrow.  You  want  to  try 
this  thing  today  and  tomorrow  and  all  the  time 
when  you  make  up  your  mind  to  try  it.  Never 
give  up.  I  never  saw  a  man  yet  who  got  into  a  hab- 
it of  going  from  i^illar  to  post  trying  this  and  try- 
ing that  who  ever  luade  anything  of  himself  worth 
making.  You  make  your  way  by  perseverance 
and  patient  waiting.  And  do  not  be  d  iscouraged 
because  you  do  not  become  famous  in  a  day  be- 
cause you  have  no  clients  the  first  day  you  put 
your  shingle  out,  because  you  have  poor  success 
when  you  do  get  thera.  Stand  by  your  guns. 
Be  patient,  be  hopeful,  be  reliant.

So  stick  to  it,  don't  give  up.  And  always  believe 
in  yourself  and  in  your  ability  and  in  your  fu- 
ture and  do  not  get  married  until  you  get  some- 
thing for  your  wife  to  live  on.  (Laughter)  It  is 
iiard  enough  for  one  man  to  starve  but  it  seems 
to  me  to  be  a  great  deal  worse  if  there  are  two  to 
starve.  And  if  you  love  your  wife  as  well  as  you 
ought  you  would'iit  eat  anything  so  that  she  could 
have  a  full  meal.  So  just  wait  a  wdiile.  Do  not 
wait  too  long,  huwever,  do  not  wait  until  you  get 
ten  thousand  dollars  a  yer;  when  you  get  a  thou- 
sand dollars  that  is  enough.  Do  not  wait  ti)0 
long.     Let  your  faith  be  always  in  the  future. 

And  then  there  is  a  service  which  you  owe  to 
the  State.  You  ought  to  make  a  good  living, 
you  ought  to  prepare  yourselves  to  do  it  and  to 
work  hard  to  do  it  but  that  is  not  the  object  of 
life,  that  is  not  the  ambition  which  is  carried  in 
the  phrase  unblcxne  ohlige.  True,  every  man  wants 
to  make  a  living  and  he  must  make  a  living  and 
does  make  a  living  except  in  extraordinary  cases, 
but  the  acquisition  of  wealth  shoitld  never  be  the 
sole  ambition  of  any  educated  man.  Let  the  un- 
educated people  get  rich,  let  educated  people 
serve  the  State.  In  that  service  you  must  sacri- 
fice to  a  large  extent  your  own  personal  views 
and  preferences.  I  do  not  believe  there  is  a  man 
living  who  ever  really  has  a  proper  feeling  of  back 
contentment  and  self-respect  who  cannot  look 
every  day  on  some  service  he  has  done  humanity. 
The  mere  selfish  acquisition  of  wealth,  it  seems 
to  me,  is  the  most  unsatisfying  feeling  that 
Could  come  to  a  human  being.  But  if  you  feel  that 
you  have  done  your  client  a  service  before  the 
Bar,  if  you  feel  that  the  sick  man's  pains  have 
been  allevinted  and  he  has  been  put  upon  the 
road  to  recovery,  if  you  feel  that  the  man  who 
leaves  your  dental  chair  has  a  better  set  of  teeth 
than  he  ever  had  before,  and  if  you  feel  that  the 
prescription  you  put  up  at  the  corner  drugstore 
is  of  the  purest  and  best  drugs,  you  can  feel  that 
you  have  done  a  service  to  humanity  in  doing 
that.  In  other  words,  a  service  well-done,  I  do 
not  care  how  menial  it  is,  is  a  service  to  human- 
ity. They  say  of  the  Roman  senators  that  in  de- 
rision of  Cato,  and  being  angry  with  liirn,  they 
created  the  otfice  of  coinmissioner  of  sewers  and 
to  humiliate  him  they  appointed  him  the  com- 
missioner of  the  great  Cloaca  Maxima,  and  he  so 
discharged  the  duties  of  that  despised  office, 
with    such    benefit   to   the  State,  that  ever  after

that  to  be  coiniiiissioiier  of  sewers  was  Uie  liigh- 
est  honor  to  wliich  a  Roman  senator  could  as- 
pire. So  never  despise  a  thing  because  it  is 
menial,  but  do  it  well.  I  read  the  other  day  of 
a  man  who  got  a  prize  of  one  hundred  dollars 
for  ploughing  the  best  furrow  in  a  field  out  in 
Illinois.  I  would  have  been  as  proud  to  get  that 
hundred  dollar  prize  as  if  I  had  won  the  gold 
medal  at  this  University.  Those  of  you  who  are 
going  to  get  those  medals  today  know  how  proud 
you  are.  But  I  do  not  care  how  menial  the  ser- 
vice is  if  you  do  it  well,  especially  a  service  to 
humanity,  and  unless  it  is  done  well  you  are  not 
doing  your  duty  to  humanity. 

Service  should  be  the  cry,  the  ambition  of 
every  educated  man.  Service,  service,  service! 
To  do  something  to  help  the  world  along.  The 
world  will  recognize  you  not  in  proportion  to 
your  claims  upon  the  world  but  in  proportion  as 
you  serve  the  world.  The  world  has  no  senti- 
ment. You  are  going  into  the  great  capacious 
maw  of  this  great  world  and  you  will  be  eaten 
up,  swallowed  whole  and  the  world  will  xiay  no 
attention  whatever  to  you  until  you  make  your- 
self felt  upon  the  surface  of  the  earth  by  your 
service  and  not  by  your  claims  nor  by  your  di- 
plomas nor  your  science  but  by  what  you  do. 
That  is  the  measure  by  which  the  world  will 
guage  you  and  judge  you  in  the  future.  Service! 
Do  something  to  help  the  world  along.

The  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Alumni  A><wc/atioii 
of  the  Department  nf  Mcdirine  wa,s  held  at  the  Eu- 
taw  House  on  the  evening  of  Commencement 
Day,  Dr.  G.  T^ane  Taneyhill,  President,  in  the 
chair.  The  following  officers  were  elected  for 
the  ensuing  year:  President,  Dr.  Charles  E. 
Sadtler;  Vice-Presidents,  Drs.  Geo.  H.  Steuart, 
Marshall  West  and  Samuel  T.  Earle;  Rec.  Sec, 
Dr.  Nathan  Winslow;  Asst.  Secty.,  Dr.  Wm.  S.

Treas.,  Dr.  John  Houff;  Ex.  Com.,  Drs.  Taney- 
hill, C.  R.  Winterson,  Hopkinson,  Fleming  and 
Norwood. 

The  banquet  which  followed  was  a  great  suc- 
cess, the  inviting  repast  being  supplemented  by  an 
unusually  brilliant  "feast  of  reason  and  flow  of 
soul."  The  flashes  of  wit  followed  each  other 
in  such  rapid  succession  that  the  hali  was  rever- 
lierating  almost  continuously  with  applause  and 
laughter.  The  Mayor  was  unable  to  fill  his  en- 
gagement but  was  represented  by  Mr.  James  F. 
Thrift,  '01,  City  Comptroller,  whn  spoke  from 
the  point  of  view  of  the  Health  Department. 
Rev.  Dr.  Eugene  A.  Noble,  President  of  Gouclier 
College,  spoke  on  "Personal  Experiences  as  a  Co- 
worker with  Doctors  in  a  City  Hospital."  Rev. 
Dr.  Charles  Fiske,  of  St.  Michael'sP.  E.  Church,

dotes. There  was  vocal  music  l)y  Dr.  Hopkin- 
son and  JNL-.  Smock.  The  succes.-^  of  the  evening 
which  was  certainly  very  great  was  due  largely 
to  President  Taneyhill,  who  outshone  even  himself 
on  this  occasion.

Dr.  Nathaniel  G.  Keirle,  '58,  head  of  the  Pas- 
teur Institute  of  the  College  of  Phj'sicians  and 
Sargeons  of  Balto.,  received  the  honorary  IjT>. 
D.  from  Dickinson  College,  Pa.,  -June  7. 

A  very  kind  invitation  has  been  received  from 
C;ipt.  E.  E.  P.  Sleppy  (D.D.S.'ST),  of  Pittsburg, 
to  attend  the  inspection  of  the  new  Regimental 
Armory  of  the  18th  Infantry,  N.  G.  P.,  on  May 
'■')().  It  would  have  given  us  great  pleasure  to 
accept  had  it  been  possible. 


We  are  grieved  to  learn  from  Dr.  Gal)riel 
.Juriedini  (i).D.S.  '11),  that  our  mutual  friend 
and  fellow-alumnus,  Dr.  iMicliel  Samaan  Hanna, 
(M.D.,  '10),  of  Tanla,  Egypt,  lias  suffered  a 
double  bereavement,  in  the  loss  of  his  young 
i-ister,  aged  1-1,  in  .January  last  and  of  his  father 
on  May  11.  The  latter  had  attained  the  ripe 
age  of  76.  Dr.  llanna  will  accept  our  deepest 
sympathy  in  his  grijf  ;ind  the  hope  that  he  will 
be  able  to  bear  it  with  fortitude  and  resignation.

A  large  nil  portrait  of  the  late  Judge  Charles 
K.  Phelps,  by  Arthur  M.  Hazard,  of  Boston,  was 
unveiled  in  the  Superior  Court  of  this  city,  on 
i\Iay  27,  in  the  presence  of  judges,  and  members 
of  the  bar  and  of  the  family  of  the  deceased 
jurist.  Addresses  were  made  by  -Judges  Thomas 
I.  Elliott  and  .James  P.  Gorter,  Attorney  Gen- 
eral Isaac  Lobe  Straus  and  Mr.  Albert  C.  Ritchie, 
all  of  the  University.  Judge  Phelps  was  a  pro- 
fessor in  the  Law  School  of  this  University  from 
1881  tv)  1906,  and  was  Judge  of  the  Supreme 
J^ench  from  1882  to  1908.  He  died  at  his  resi- 
dence at  Walbrook,  Balto,,  on  Dec.  27th,  1908,  in 
the  7Gth  year  of  his  age,  universally  esteemed 
an<l  lamented  by  the  entire  community. 


Governor  Crothers  has  said  very  truly  that  the 
State  of  Maryland  does  not  do  enough  for  ils 
cnlleges  and  tliat  there  is  not  sufficient  system 
and  co-operation  among  them.  The  degree  of 
culture  and  civilization  of  a  community  mny  be 
judged  by  its  lUierality  to  its  institutions  of  learn- 
ing. We  nnght  well  take  a  lesson  fi'om  the  al- 
most feverish  eagerness:  of  the  people  of  the  great 
noi'thwest  to  help  and  advance  their  universities 
and  colleges.  Here  they  give  us  a  pittance  and 
dole  it  out  in  such  a  way  as  to  make  us  appear 
like  bcggar.s. 

The  State  should  be  generous,  iiut,  with  its 
generosity,  should  go  responsiliility  and  accounla-

biiity.  The  public  should  kuow  where  and  how 
its  money  is  used.  And  that  oiir  excellent  Gov- 
ernor also  insists  upon.  This  is  a  reasonable, 
in  fact  an  indispensable  check  upon  misuse  of 
funds;  with  such  a  safeguard,  the  most  liberal 
appropriations  can  be  and  should  be  made. 


The  late  Dr.  Richard  Sappington,  '51,  who  died 
recently  in  Baltimore,  at  the  advanced  age  of  84, 
left  an  interesting  autobiography  of  himself  from 
which  we  cull  some  particulars.  He  was  born 
at  Darlington,  Harford  Co.,  Md.,  in  1827,  his 
father  being  Dr.  .John  Sappington  and  his  grand- 
father. Dr.  Richard  Sappington,  a  surgeon  in  the 
Continental  Army  in  the  Revolution.  Receiving 
a  classical  education  at  the  Darlington  Academj', 
he  came  to  Baltimore  in  1816  and  began  at  once 
to  prepare  for  the  work  of  an  apothecary.  In 
1848  he  opened  a  store  of  his  own  at  Gay  and 
Aisquith  Sts.,  and  at  the  same  time  attended  lec- 
tures at  the  University.  Owing  to  his  double 
occupation,  he  was  ineligible  for  membership  in 
the  Medical  and  Chirurgical  Faculty  and  only 
secured  admission  to  the  JIaryland  College  of 
Pharmacy  after  some  years  delay,  the  requir- 
ments  being  meanwhile  changed.  He  soon  ob- 
tained recognition  in  the  latter,  serving  as  vice- 
president,  member  of  tlie  board  of  examiners, 
etc.  He  was  one  of  the  lew  physicians  who 
combined  medical  practice  with  the  profession 
of  pharmacy.  He  carried  on  the  latter  for  64 
years,  latterly  at  the  corner  of  Gaj-  and  Lexing- 
ton Sts.,  and  assisted  by  his  son,  Jlr.  Reginald 
Power  Sappihgton.  His  medical  practice  was 
confined  almost  entirely  to  his  office.  He  man- 
ufactured various  proprietary  preparations  and 
advertised  them  in  a  way  but  never  made  ex- 
travagant claims  for  them.  They  were  standard 
articles,  put  up  in  accordance  with  scientific 
principles  and  were  often  prescribed  by  other 
physicians.  He  was  always  conscientious  and 
observed  strictly  the  ethical  requirements  of  the 
profession.  His  manners  were  courteous  and 
s  )ciable  and  he  had  a  large  circle  of  friends. 
He  was  a  man  tif  public  spirit,  of  large  infor- 
mation and  of  excellent  judgment.

The  exercises  connected  with  the  rlo^c  of  tin' 
lOJiih  icssimi  of  the  I'liirersiti/  were  characterized 
with  due  pomp  and  circumstance  and  were  in  all 
respects  satisfactory.     The    Commencement  was 


held  at  the  Lyric  Theatre  on  -Jurfe  1,  at  4  P.  M., 
the  Provost,  Mr.  Bernard  Carter,  presiding.  The 
procession  formsd  in  the  fro:it  h.xUon  the  second 
floor  and  marched  down  t3  the  aviditorium  to 
strains  of  martial  music,  all  being  in  cap  and 
gown.  The  graduating  classes  preceded,  St. 
John's  being  in  the  lead,  followed  by  the  Facul- 
ties, Regents,  guests,  chaplain  and  orator.  Can- 
didates for  the  various  degrees  were  presented  by 
the  respective  Deans.  The  only  honorary  degree 
conferred  was  that  of  LL.D.,  upon  Professor 
Christopher  Johnston,  nf  Ji.hns  Hapkins  Uni- 
versity. Dr.  J.  was  unable  to  be  present  on  ac- 
count of  illness.  The  bust  of  Professor  James 
H.  Harris  by  Schuler,  the  gift  of  the  Dental  Class, 
was  presented  by  Prof.  Hemmeter,  whose  re- 
marks we  shall  have  the  pleasure  of  publishing. 
The  names  of  the  graduates  and  prizemen  are 
given  elsewhere.  The  large  auditorium  was  fill- 
ed in  every  part  except  the  rear  of  the  stage.  It 
W'ould  be  well  if  hereafter  the  alumni  were  in- 
vited to  occupy  these  vacant  benches.  Rev. 
Oliver  Huekel,  of  the  Associate  Reformed  Church, 
was  the  Chaplain  and  Dr.  Harvey  W.  Wiley, 
Chief  of  the  Bureau  of  Chemistry  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture,  the  Orator.  The  bust  of 
Prof.  Harris  is  of  bronze,  life  size,  head  and 
neck,  mounted  on  a  low  pedestal  of  colored 
Italian  marble.  There  were  210  graduates,  two 
of  these  in  the  Department  of  Pharmacy  being 
ladies.

DEPARTMENT  OF  LAW. 

The  past  month  was  the  last  of  the  scholastic 
year.  It  was  a  busy  month  too,  half  of  it  (the 
first)  being  spent  in  review  and  preparation  for 
the  examinations,  which  were  held  from  the  17th 
to  the  25th,  on  which  day  the  active  work  of  the 
Law  School  ended. 

About  forty  or  fifty  of  our  men  are  going  to 
take  the  Bar  examinations  and  most  of  these 
have  been  working  very  conscientiously.  The 
Bar  examinations  will  be  held  in  the  Fifth  Re- 
giment Armory  on  the  5th  and  6th  of  June. 

On  graduation  we  view  w^ith  pleasure  the 
profitable  years  we  have  spent  in  the  Law  School. 
The  efficiency  of  the  School  is  very  high  and  is 
being  made  higher  every  year.  Several  suggest- 
ions (more  or  less  valuable)  to  this  end  may  be 
in  point. 

First,  the  Library  should  be  properly  cared 
for,  as  it  has  been  the  past  term.  It  should, 
by  all  means,  be  open  until  11  P.  M.,  if  there 
are  students  who  wish  to  study  that  late.  The 
Library  should  receive  standard  law  magazines, 
so  that  the  students  may  become  interested  in 
the  current  legal  thought  of  the  day.  We  should 
add  every  year  some  new  works  of  reference  ihat 
would  be  valuable  to  the  students  in  their  var- 
ious courses.  A  full  and  adequate  library  is  one 
of  the  greatest  assets  a  Law  School  can  have. 

Some  students  read  many  cases;  others,  few. 
And  strangely  enough,  it  is  undoubtedly  true, 
that  fewer  cases  are  read  in  those  courses  where 
they  are  profusely  cited  than  in  other  courses 
where  the  leading  ones  only  are  taken  up.  This 
is  hardly  true  tho',  where  altho'  cases  are  cited 
profusely,  the  leading  ones  are  denoted.  It  has 
often  occured  to  the  writer,  that  the  best  results 
would  be  obtained  by  the  lecturer  assigning  at 
each  lecture  five  or  six  of  the  most  important 
cases  in  the  lecture  for  close  and  careful  study 
and  to  cite  others,  if  at  all  by  way  of  authority 
only.  The  value  of  this  is  apparent,  for,  when 
fifteen  or  twenty  or  more  cases  are  cited,  the 
average  student  does  not  have  time  to  read  all 
and  cannot  judge  for  himself  which  are  the  most 


profitable  to  read  and  the  result  is,  he  reads  few 
or  none.  Of  course  there  are  students  who  read 
them  all,  but  these  are  the  exceptional  ones. 

If  it  were  feasible,  it  would  probably  be  a  good 
thing  to  have  a  series  of  lectures  delivered  on  the 
subject  of  Medical  Jurisprudence  or  Forensic 
Medicine,  by  some  one  learned  in  that  branch. 
Knowledge  of  this  sort  often  proves  of  great  value 
in  the  practice  of  law. 

These  are  a  few  suggestions  which,  it  has  been 
thought,  if  followed,  would  increase  the  efficien- 
cy of  the  School  and  add  to  the  instruction  of 
the  student. 

The  following  are  the  graduates  of  this  depart- 
ment for  the  session  just  closed:  C.  A.  Albrecht, 
Joseph  A.  Ambrose,  .James  C.  L.  Anderson,  Os-

DEPARTMENT  OF  DENTISTRY. 

The  scholastic  year  1910-11  is  closed  and  the 
members  of  our  Senior  Class  by  this  time  are  far 
away  from  their  old  haunts  at  Greene  and  Lom- 
bard Sts.  We  trust  the  State  Board  examina- 
tions will  be  successfully  passed  and  that  they 
will.be  able  to  merge  into  professional  life,  mak- 
ing their  way  to  success. 

The  University  Prize  was  won  by  Alexander 
H.  Paterson,  of  Pa.,  the  Honorable  Mention  by 
Henry  A.  Folsoni,  of  Vt.  The  names  of  the 
following  gentlemen  appear  on  the  roll  of  honor: 
A.  H.  Paterson,  H.  A.  Folsom,  L.  M.  Basehoar, 
Rhodes  Burrows,  W.  L.  Davidson,  L.  P.  Hen- 
neberger,  D.  P.  High,  .Jr.,  Henry  Martin. 

Prizes  in  the  Senior,  Junior  and  Freshman 
Classes,  were  won  by  L.  P.  Henneberger,  L.  M. 
Basehoar,  S.  B.  .Johnston,  A.  H.  PatersoH,  L. 
W.  Dulaney,  J.  A.  McClung,  A.  L.  Strenge  and 
H.  R.  Hege. 

The  Smoker  given  by  the  General  .\lumni  As- 
sociation at  the  Medical  and  Chirurgical  Hall, 
Cathedral  st.,  was  well  attended  by  the  Dental 
department  while  it  was  not  represented  among 
the  speakers  of  the  evening.  The  remarks  of 
those  who  did  speak  were  thoroughly  enjoyed 
and  appreciated.  After  a  successful  meeting  of 
this  sort  the  Alumni  Association  should  be  aug- 
mented by  many  members  of  this  year's  gradu- 
ating class.  One  who  really  appreciates  college 
life  and  the  training  and  associations  of  those 
days  can  hardly  leave  the  place  forever,  without 
a  sigh  of  regret  and  the  one  who  can  feel  this 
reasonable  regret  should  identify  himself  with  the 
University  by  becoming  a  member  of  the  Alumni 
Association  and  thereby  assist  in  her  councils 
and  in  the  active  work  which  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation carries  on. 

Dr.  Wm.  Rea  will  take  charge  of  the  summer 
course  at  the  University  as  usual.  This  work. 
Dr.  Rea  has  managed  for  several  seasons  and  has 
succeeded  in  making  attractive  to  the  students 
who  remain  through  the  summer  months. 

The  members  of  the  Faculty  are  planning  to 


attend  various  conventions  and  society  meet- 
ings or  else  pass  the  vacation  time  in  recreation 
and  travel. 

In  conclusion,  I  wish  to  say  to  the  Alumni, 
this  has  been  a  very  successful  year  in  the  Den- 
tal Department — there  being  a  full  attendance  of 
students;  and  above  all  the  amount  of  work  and 
average  in  marks  attained  by  the  student  body 
have  been  a  great  encouragement  to  the  instruc- 
tors:  in  fact  the  records  show  conclusively  that 
the  Dental  Department  has  succeeded  in  main- 
taining its  place  at  the  high  water  mark  of  col- 
lege excellence .

It  is  very  gratifying  to  be  able  to  announce 
the  endowment  of  a  scholarship  at  St.  John's  by 
the  mother  of  a  former  student,  Clifton  C. 
Roehle,  whose  name  it  will  bear.  Young  Roehle 
was  a  pupil  here  from  1890  to  1893.  In  the 
latter  year  he  entered  the  U.  S.  Naval  Academy, 
and  there,  after  a  course  of  three  years,  bore  off 
all  the  honors.  He  gave  promise  of  achieving 
the  highest  distinction  on  graduation,  but  his 
young  life  was  cut  short  in  the  summer  of  1896, 
by  typhoid  fever.  The  amount  of  the  fund  for 
the  scholarship  is  f6,000,  the  interest  of  which 
will  be  used  for  the  support  of  some  worthy  but 
poor  youth.  A  memorial  tablet  to  Roehle's 
memory  will  be  placed  on  the  Avails  of  the  chapel.

ADDRESS  OF  MR.  GEORGE  R.  GAITHER 
(LL.B   '90) 

AT  THE  Reunion  of  Alumni  and  Graduates, 

May  31st. 
It  is  a  difficult  task  in  addressing  the  Alumni 
of  this  old  University  of  Maryland  to  suggest 
any  new  or  interesting  train  of  thought  for  your 
consideration.  In  the  splendid  training  which 
the  College  graduates  now  enjoy  and  the  pres- 
ent infinitely  varied  means  for  difTusing  intelli- 
gence and  ideas  throughout  the  land,  it  is  prac- 
tically impossible  for  any  speaker  in  an  evening's 
address  to  portray  the  modern  tendencies  of  the 
intellectual  thought  of  the  daj^  or  the  varied 
achievements  of  our  complex  civilization,  in  the 
few  minutes  daring  wliich  I  shall  trespass  upon 
your  attention.  It  is  my  purpose,  if  possible,  to 
call  your  attention  not  to  these  positive  require- 
ments, but  to  some  of  the  factors  in  man's  de- 
velopment which  in  my  mind  are  most  impor- 
tant, and  yet  which  are  being  largely  neglected 
in  the  mad  rush  of  modern  development  and  the 
complex  conditions  of  modern  cililization. 

The  old  division  of  the  powers  of  mankind  in- 
to three  great  agencies  teems  as  vital  to  me  to- 
day as  in  every  age  of  man's  life  upon  this  earth. 
The  intellect,  the  will,  and  the  emotions  or 
spiritual  part  of  man  are  the  forces  through 
which  his  development  and  progress  have  been 
created.  In  the  wondrous  deve'opment  of  all 
channels  and  institutions  for  investigation,  edu- 
cation and  original  research  of  the  present  age, 
there  is  but  little  danger  that  the  intellect  of 
man  will  not  receive  all  of  the  power,  energy  and 
training  which  has  been  so  essential-  to  the 
spendid  development  of  the  intellectual  powers, 
and  the  "rule  of  reason"  wouM  seem  destined 
to  perpetual  existence.  Likewise  in  the  great 
domain  of  action,  the  will  of  man  finds  expres- 
sion in   the   infinitely  varied  products  of  man's 


geniu?  and  effort  which  surround  us  on  every 
side  and  excite  our  wonder  and  admiration.  The 
age  which  has  produced  such  material  results 
can  never  want  for  the  stimulus  wdiich  directs 
and  moulds  man's  actions.  The  danger  is  rather 
that  the  creator  will  be  lost  in  the  creation,  that 
the  triumphal  car  of  invention  and  combination 
for  the  benefit  of  the  great  mass  of  humanity 
will  operate  like  some  human  juggernaut  in 
crushing  out  the  inner  life  of  the  individual. 
The  eternal  restless  tide  of  modern  civilization 
seems  to  sweep  all  forces  before  it  in  its  resist- 
less might. 

On  the  other  hand  what  lias  been  the  effect  of 
these  great  agencies  in  the  development  of  those 
qualities  which  make  the  charm  of  each  indi- 
vidual life,  and  whose  existence  in  the  ages 
which  have  passed  has  brightened  and  glorified 
the  pages  of  history  ?  Is  there  any  force  in  the 
universe  aomparable  to  man's  spirit,  and  to  the 
many  manifestations  of  its  infinite  power,  which 
have  broadened  the  horizon  of  humanity  and 
lifted  it  beyond  its  earthly  environment  ?  Is  not 
the  age  of  machinery  and  reason  calculated  to 
stifle  rather  than  to  develope  these  momentous

tion such  as  ours  ? 

Who  of  us  has  not  thrilled  at  the  enthusiasm

in  the  ceaseless  zeal,  heroic  endeavor  and  un- 
selfish devotion  of  the  army  of  martyrs  and  pa- 
triots of  all  the  ages  who  have  struggled  and

and  oppression  ?  Are  not  the  qualities  of  pa- 
triotism, self-sacrifice,  lieroism,  gentleness,  cour- 
age and  faithfulness,  as  necessary  for  the  welfare 
of  mankind  in  this  modern  age  as  the  material 
and  intellectual  development  which  w'e  have 
acquired  ?  Nay,  are  they  not  more  so  if  we 
are  truly  to  enjoy  the  blessings  of  civilization  ? 
May  the  day  speedily  come  in  our  national 
life  when  the  qualities  which  make  the  man  will 
be  of  more  solicitude  to  our  people  than  the  pro- 
tection of  our  material  possessions  or  the  distri- 
bution of  our  great  productions.  Already  there 
are  bright  signs  of  a  new  era  and  a  new  epoch  in 
our  national  life.  In  the  future  I  trust  and  be- 
lieve that  we  shall  establish  new  standards  of 
life  and  living.  That  health  will  be  deemed  of 
greater  value  than  wealth,  that  happiness  will  be 
paramount  to  mere  physical  comfort,  and  that 
mankind  will  once  more  realize  that  this  world 
is  a  'stepping  stone  to  higher  things'  and  not  a 
mere  arena  of  senseless  struggle  or  a  stage  set- 
ting for  an  empty  play.  And  with  the  true  de- 
velopment of  the  spirit  of  man,  supplementing 
his  matchless  intellect  and  will,  may  come  the 
revelation  of  the  mysteries  of  an  unseen  world  of 
spirit, — one  which  surrounds  us    now    on    every 

side.

ABSTRACT  OF  REMARKS 

By  Rev.  Chakles  Fiske,  D.  D.,   Rector  of  St. 

Michael    and   All   Angels  P.  E.  Church, 

Balto.,  at  the  Banquet  oe  the  Medical 

Alujini,   June  1. 

Dr.  Fiske  said  that  human  suffering  is  the 
most  awful  and  astounding  of  all  facts  that  face 
us  in  our  outlook  upon  the  world.  No  genera- 
tion has  appreciated  it  as  has  our  own.  We 
have  only  to  picture  the  tragedies  developing  all 
about  us — tragedies  of  hopeless  illness  in  the 
homes  of  the  rich  and  the  poor  alike;  tragedies 
that  follow  in  the  wake  of  the  white  plague; 
tragedies  of  human  bodies  wracked  and  tortured 
by  the  insidious  cancerous  growth — to  find  our- 
selves appalled  at  the  infinite  sadness  of  life,  a 
pathos  so  great  that  only  infinite  pity  can  cope 
with  it.

And  knowing  this  as  we  do,  we  know  some- 
thing of  the  work  you  doctors  are  doing  to  alle- 
viate distress — a  work  so  noble  that  you  are  in- 
deed co-workers  with  God,  called  to  a  labor  as 
high  and  holy  as  that  of  tlie  priest  and  minister. 
In  that  work  you  and  I  have  something  of  the 
same  temptations.  I  do  not  speak  of  the  temp- 
tation to  a  mercenary  career.  We  huve  it  as 
well  as  you — the  temptation  to  do  work  for  mere 
pay,  forgetful  of  the  duty  we  Owe  society,  the 
service  we  owe  humanity.  I  cannot  think  that 
there  are  many  physicians  who  succumb  to  that 
temptation,  in  view  of  all  that  I  can  guess  of 
the  unknown  and  unacknowledged  kindness  of 
the  men  of  your  profession. 

There  are  other  and  more  subtle  temptations 
that  meet  you  as  they  meet  me — the  temptation 
to  lose  faith  in  God;  the  temptation  to  lose  faith 
in  men. 

To  lose  faith  in  God.  You  deal  so  much  with 
the  body,  j-ou  may  forget  the  soul,  and  so  you 
may  lose  your  grip  of  great  spiritual  realities. 
Perhaps  that  tendency  to  materialism  is  not  so 
great  since  Dubois  has  made  known  some  of  tiie 
marvels  of  p?ycho-therapeutic3.  But  there  are 
other  temptations  to  lose  faith  in  God.  By  the 
very  keenness  of  our  social  perceptions  we  are 
apt  to  lose  that  faith,  because  we  face  as  no  other 
men  face  the  mystery  of  evil,  sorrow,  sickness, 
disease,  death.  The  mystery  is  as  great  to  me 
as  it  is  to  you.  Why  did  God  make  a  world  in 
which  so  many  things  seem  all  wrong?  The 
only  path  out  of  the  mystery  for  me  lies  in  a  full 
acceptance  of  the  Christian  faith.  I  know  God 
is  a  God  of  love,  because  He  once  walked  this 
earth  in  the  person  of  Jesus  Christ.  If  Christ  is 
God,  God  is  love,  because  Christ  is  love. 

And  to  lose  faith  in  men.  You  and  I  alike, 
often  see  the  worst  side  of  men — all  the  selfish- 
ness, the  meanness,  the  pettiness,  the  weakness 
of  human  nature.  But,  again,  we  bothalike  see 
also  the  best  that  is  in  men — the  splendid 
strength,  the  fine  courage  and  endurance,  the 
beautiful  self-sacrifice.  Here,  again,  Christ  shows 
us  what  man  can  be.  .He  is  the  epitome  of  all 
the  splendid  qualities  of  our  humanity. 

In  closing.  Dr.  Fiske  urged  that  facing  as  they 
do  the  same  facts  and  doing  in  essence  the  same 
work,  the  physician  and  the  clergjanan  should 
work  side  by  side  and  shoulder  to  shoulder.  Do 
not  forget,  he  said,  that  you    must    minister    to

sonlsas  well  as  to  bodies.  To  give  just  one  illustra- 
tion of  what  I  mean,  why  should  you  shut  out 
the  clergyman  so  often  from  the  sick  room  ? 
There  are  ministers,  it  is  true,  whose  presence 
would  only  break  down  the  nervous  resistance  of 
a  patient;  but  the  mass  of  us  are  men  of  com- 
mon sense.  Why  refuse  our  help?  Remember 
liow  much  the  quiet  prayer  at  the  beside  may  do 
to  give  the  inner  peace  of  mind  which  will  help 
you  in  the  outer  cui'c  of  the  body.  And,  after 
all,  is  not  the  cure  of  the  soul  at  least  as  impor- 
tant as  the  health  of  the  body  ? 

Do  not  forget  the  moral  side  of  your  work. 
We  need  you  to  help  us.  Let  us  also  have  our 
chance  to  help  you.

REMARKS  OF  PROFESSOR  JOHN  C 

HEMMETER,  JUNE  t,  inU 

On  presenting  to  the  Univeesity  a  Bronze  Bu^t 

OF   THE    LATE   PROFESSOR    HaERIS,    THE    GiFT 

OF  THE  Senior  Dental  Class. 

James  H.  Harris  wis  born  near  Charlottes- 
ville, Va.,  Oct.  22,  1834.  His  degree  of  D.D.S. 
was  won  in  Balto.,  in  1861.  Had  he  lived  a  few 
months  longer,  it  could  have  been  correctly 
stated  that  he  was  very  active  in  dentistry  for  50 
yeai's.  In  the  last  two  years  of  the  civil  war  he 
held  a  position  in  the  me  Ileal  department  of 
the  hospital  at  Harrisonburg.  In  1882  he,  to- 
gether with  Professor  Ferd.  J.  S.  Gorgas,  found- 
ed the  Faculty  of  Dentistry  in  the  University  of 
Maryland.  Professor  Harris  also  held  the  de- 
gree of  M.  D.  and  was  awake  to  every  new  prog- 
ress in  medicine. 

We  are  always  interested  in  immortality — for 
so  murli  hangs  upon  its  truth;  the  joy  and 
power  of  large  and  hopeful  living,  the  opportu- 
nity of  cherishing  and  fulfilling  long-held  ideals; 
the  gathering  up  again  of  broken  ties  of  life. 
And  God  has  been  good  and  placed  within  our 
hearts  the  promise  of  a  double  immortality,  one 
in  heaven  and  one  on  earth. 

A  possible  earthly  immortality:  there  ought 
to  be  a  great  satisfaction  in  the  thought,  for 
every  serious  man .   A  man  can  so  live  here  that  he

can  double,  aye  triple  the  povver  of  his  life.  He 
can  so  live  today  that  he  shall  be  a  vital  force  in 
the  tomorrow,  Avhich  he  shall  not  see.  He  can 
project  his  life  into  the  future  in  a  thousand  ways, 
to  be  a  beneficent  and  inspiring  power.  He  can 
make  for  himself  an  immortality  among  the  sons 
of  men.  Did  you  ever  stop  to  think  how  largely 
the  world  is  ruled  today  by  the  dead?  Some- 
times it  would  seem  as  though  it  were  even  more 
really  inspired  by  the  lasting  influences  of  the 
dead  than  by  the  living.  Who  today  rules  the 
religious  life  and  thoughts  of  men  ?  Moses  anJ 
Jesus  and — Paul  the  youngest  of  these  died  2000 
years  ago.  What  living  man  is  dominating  the 
thought  of  men  so  greatly  as  Socrates,  Plato  and 
Darwin  ?  Sophocles,  Shakespeare  and  Goethe  are 
the  ruling  forces  of  literature.  And  I  am  sure 
that  you  young  men  are  more  stirred  by  the 
hcroi.=m  and  the  great  military  deeds  of  the  past 
tlian  by  those  men  of  your  own  age. 

Now  what  is  true  of  these  greater  lives,  is  true 
for  all  of  us  in  a  measure.  Not  ours,  perhaps,  to 
conceive  thonglits  that  shall  inspire  the  world; 
not  ours  to  do  great  deeds  read  of  all  people; 
not  ours  to  exert  an  empire-moving  force.  But 
it  is  ours — I  care  not  who  we  be — so  to  live,  love, 
work  and  speak  that  we  can  lay  up  for  ourselves 
a  futurity  of  life  and  power  and  influence  here, 
that  shall  alMde,  helping  and  blessing  at  least  a 
few  after  we  have  gone.  This  is  a  great  comfort 
and  encouragement  to  good  work  and  satisfaction. 

To  attempt  to  give  due  credit  to  the  talents, 
and  work  of  Professor  Harris  would  lead  me  to 
falter  in  the  effort  to  eulogize  his  life.  And  in 
contemplating  your  own  noble  accomplishment, 
graduates  of  the  Dental  Department,  it  would 
lead  me  to  falter  at  the  idea  of  j'our  potency  and 
promise.  In  presenting  this  lifelike  work  of  art 
by  the  talented  sculptor  Hans  Schuler  to  the  Re- 
gents of  the  University  of  Maryland,  you  have 
set  an  example  that  is  most  difficult  to  emulate. 
You  have  given  expression  to  a  profundity  of 
academic  loyalty,  which  so  far  has  not  yet  been 
achieved  to  the  same  degree  in  our  University. 
It   illustrates   that   what    is    the  usual  academic

or  Professor  Harris  appealed  as  much 
to  the  student's  heart  as  to  his  reason.  Although 
a  man  of  wide  culture,  he  was  never  pedantic. 
He  was  a  teacher  of  broad  experience,  conserva- 
tive, critical  judgment  and  with  a  warm,  sane 
heart.  The  type  of  man  that  Horace  spoke  of 
when  he  wrote  his 

"Integer  vitte,  scelerisque  purus:" 

The  man  of  life  upright. 
Whose  guiltless  heart  is  free 
■     From  all  dishonest  deeds, 
Or  thought  of  vanity; 

The  man  whose  silent  days 

In  harmless  joys  are  spent, 
Whom  hopes  cannot  delude, 

Nor  sorrows  discontent; 

That  man  needs  neither  towers 

Nor  armor  for  defense. 
Nor  secret  vaults  to  fly 

From  thunder's  violence; 

Ho  only  can  behold 

With  uuafErighted  eyes 
The  horrors  of  the  deep 

And  terrors  of  the  skies. 

Thus,  scorning  all  the  cares 

That  fate  or  fortune  brings. 
He  makes  the  heaven  his  book, 

His  wisdom  heavenly  things; 

Good  thoughts  his  only  friends, 
His  wealth  a  well-spent  age. 

The  earth  his  sober  inn 
And  quiet  pilgrimage.

DEPARTMENT  OF  PHARMACY. 

The  Md.  Pharmaceutical  Association  held  its 
annual  meeting  at  Blue  Mountain  House,  June 
28-30.  Mr.  J.  E.  Hancock,  of  Balto.,  was  elec- 
ted President,  and  Dr.  E.  Frank  Kelly  and  Mr. 
W.  J.  Westcott,  of  Balto.,  were  re-elected  re- 
spectively Secretary  and  Treasurer.  There  were 
about  70  or  80  members  present. 

Prof.  Caspar!  had  a  short  visit  recently  from 
his  son.  Dr.  Charles  E.  Caspar!,  Professor  of

We  are  sorry  to  learn  that  Dr.  Joel  J.  Barnett, 
of  the  Faculty,  is  still  in  such  poor  health  that 
he  is  unable  to  attend  to  his  duties.  He  is  sum- 
mering at  Pen  Mar. 

We  have  been  informed  that  the  late  graduat- 
ing class  of  22  represents  a  Junior  Class  of  65  the 
preceding  year,  certainly  a  remarkable  evidence 
of  the  high  standard  of  this  Department.  It  is 
something  astonishing  that  the  pharmaceutists 
of  Maryland  do  not  appreciate  it  more.  Long 
since  liberal  Contributions  .should  have  been 
made  to  its  endowment.  The  suggestion  made 
one  year  ago  by  the  Editor,  that  the  names  of 
distinguishd  pharmacists,  who  have  lived  in 
Balto.,  should  be  commemorated  by  such  gifts — 
David  Stewart,  Geo.  W.  Andrews,  William  S. 
Thompson,  Lewis  H.  Steiner,  Israel  J.  Grahame, 
John  P.  Piquett,  Charles  Schmidt,  etc.,  has  so 
far  been  without  fruit.  If  the  ball  were  once 
started  rolling,  we  would  soon  sec  results  that 
would  astonish  us.  If  we  believe  in  a  thing — 
if  we  believe  that  this  institution  has  a  great 
future  before  it,  we  will  work  for  it  as  well  as 
praise  it.  The  wholesale  drug  houses  should 
give  liberally  to  such  a  cause.  P.  F.  F.

DEPARTMENT  OF  LAW. 

Judge  Carroll  T.  Bond,  the  latest  addition  to 
the  Supreme  Bench  of  Baltimore,  has  also  been 
elected  a  member  of  the  Faculty  of  Law  of  the 
University.  He  will  begin  his  course  next  fall, 
lecturing  on  "Wills,  Executors  and  Administra- 
tors," subjects  hitherto  treated  of  by  Judge 
Stockbridge.  Judge  Bond,  who  is  presiding  in 
the  Court  of  Common  Pleas,  was  highly  compli- 
mented in  resolutions  adopted  on  .June  20,  by 
the  retiring  jury  panel  of  that  court.  The  jurors 
stated  that  they  realized  the  Judge's  worth  and 
wisdom  as  a  jurist  and  his  many  rare  qualities 
as  a  citizen  and  they  congratulated  the  citizens 
of  this  city  on  havi'ig  upon  the  Supreme  Bench 
"such  a  jurist,  who,  in  so  short  a  time,  has 
proved  his  sterliag  worth,  rare  judgment,  abso- 
lute fairness  and  justice,  manly  character,  lofty 
ideals  and  wide  knowledge  of  the  law."

a  letter  to  members  of  the  City  Council  showing 
the  necessity  for  the  improvement  and  soliciting 
their  aid.  A  bill  will  be  prepared  and  laid  be-

The  battalion  spent  six  daj-s  in  camp  at  Tol- 
chester  Beach,  on  the  Eastern  Shore  of  Mary- 
land. This  marked  the  culminalion  of  the  mili-

The  Farewell  Ball  on  Tue.sdny  evening  wns 
the  most  brilliant  alJair  of  the  year.  The  color 
scheme  was  in  pink  and  gi-een  and  the  cards 
were  attractive  souvenirs  of  the  occasion,  being 
in  the  form  of  card  cases  for  the  ladies,  and  bill 
folders  for  the  gentlemen.  Mr.  Uol)^rt  S.  II'ip

RAT— TAT,  I9n. 

This  is  vol.  XV  of  the  Students'  Annual  of  St. 
John's  College  (Department  of  Arts  and 
Sciences  of  the  University)  and  emanates  from 
the  Junior  Class.  It  gives  the  life  of  the  college 
for  the  j'ear  in  very  complete  fashion,  and  does 
great  credit  to  its  editors.  Cadets  Broadrup  and 
Lentz  and  their  associates.  It  is  dedicated  to 
Professor  Byron  Yernon  Cecil,  who  is  much  be- 
loved by  all  the  students  on  account  of  his  genial 
qualities  and  his  untiring  efforts  in  behalf  of  St. 
John's.  The  pictures  are  good,,  the  articles,  in- 
cluding the  class  histories,  are  interesting  and  well- 
written,  the  verses,  rhyme  and  wit  are  all  clever. 
The  "Lay  of  Ancient  Rome,"  depicting  in  hu- 
morous style  the  ancient  Roman,  is  particularly 
good.  The  college  spirit  at  St.  .John's  runs  high 
and  this  book  is  its  flower.

DEPARTMENT  OF  DENTISTRY. 

At  the  recent  Faculty  meeting,  Dr.  T.  0.  Heat- 
wole,  '95,  was  elected  Dean,  to  succeed  Dr.  F. 
J.  S.  Gorgas,  whose  illness  compels  his  retire- 
ment from  the  position  which  he  has  filled  since 
the  founding  of  the  Department  in  1S82. 

Dr  Eldridge  Baskin,  '03,  was  elected  Asso- 
ciate Professor  of  Clinical  Dentistry  and  Ortho- 
dontia. 

The  former  pupils  of  the  late  Professor  Harris 
feel  a  keen  appreciation  of  tlie  tribute  paid  his 
memory  by  Dr.  Hemmeter  at  the  unveiling  of 
his  bust  during  the  commencement  exercises. 

The  Jlaryland  State  Dental  Society  held  its 
annual  June  meeting  in  the  Dental  Department 
of  the  University,  on  June  3G  and  17.  It  was 
well  attended  by  the  niemliers.     After  the  nieet-

With  the  September  issue  of  Old  INL^ryland, 
when  our  delegate  and  visitors  to  this  meeting 
will  have  returned,  we  shall  have  news  of  the 
meeting  of  the  National  Association  in  Cleve- 
land that  will  be    of  interest  to  the  department. 

Dr.  Leo.  Freiberger,  '11,  after  a  trip  to  Chi- 
cago, spent  two  weeks  in  the  city  before  leaving 
for  his  home  at  Znaim,  Austria,  where  he  will 
locate  for  practice.     He  left  Baltimore  July  10. 

We  are  in  receipt  of  a  communication  from 
Dr.  Wm.  L.  Davidson,  Chester,  S.  C,  stating 
that  Drs.  High,  Gaddy,  Nisbet,  Bonnoitt  and

Vol.  VII  of  the' Series  of  Year  Books  gotten 
out  by  the  Senior  Classes  of  the  University  was 
issued  in  due  form  just  before  the  close  of  the 
recent  session.  It  is  dedicated  to  Professor  Daniel 
Base,  of  the  Department  of  Pharmacy — but  not 
"Professor  of  Pharmacy"  as  he  is  called — "as  a 
tribute  to  his  personal  worth  and  high  profes- 
sional attainments  and  in  grateful  remembrance 
of  many  acts  of  kindness  to  his  students."  The 
frontispiece  is  a  portrait  of  Professor  Base,  Avho 
has  charge  of  the  chemical  laboratories  of  the 
University.  This  is  followed  by  a  group  of  the 
Editors,  who  are  Ernest  S.  Bulluck,  Editor-in- 
Chief,  Edwin  P.  Kolb,  Norman  C.  Thurlow,  P. 
P.  McCain,  I.  M.  i\Iacks.  W.  L.  Bj^erly,  A. 
Eugene  Brown,  S.  J.  Hargrove,  Jr.,  J.  C.  Wood- 
land and  W.  J.  Wannamaker.  Lowell  P.  Hen- 
neberger  was  Business  Manager.  The  personality 
of  these  men  is  reflected  in  this  volume  and  has

much  to  do  with  its  success.  'Bulluck,  of  Wil- 
mington, N.  C.,  was  a  worthy  leader  and  the  fol- 
lowing extracts  from  his  stirring  preface  strike 
us:  "The  claim  that  the  annual  does  not  re- 
ceive proper  encouragement  at  the  hands  of  tlmse 
it  would  serve  is  time  honored."  "To  those  on 
whom  this  mantle  shall  next  fall,  I  would  sug- 
gest that  the  desire  to  excell  be  curbed,  and  that 
a  less  pretentious  volume  which  will  better  meet 
the  commercial  demands  made  by  its  limited 
circulation  follow."  Bulluck  also  writes  an  un- 
usually able  and  interesting  introduction  in 
which  he  touches  on  manj'  matters  of  interest 
relating  to  the  University  and  gives  valuable 
suggestions.  Causey  writes  on  Academic  Day, 
Macks  on  the  honor  system,  Davidson  makes  a 
plea  for  athletics  and  there  ate  biographical 
sketches  of  Professors  Base,  Winslow  and  the 
late  James  H.  Harris.  The  usual  order  of  fac- 
ulties, followed  by  members  of  classes,  is  follow- 
ed and  the  book  concludes  with  the  Fraternities. 
St.  Johns  and  the  Department  of  Law  are  not 
represented,  which  is  to  be  regretted.  The  vol- 
ume is  handsomely  gotten  up  and  does  credit  to 
its  makers.  It  will  serve  to  perpetuate  class  spirit 
and  recall  pleasant  college  tlays  and  associations 
in  years  to  come.

The  news  of  the  elevation  of  the  genial  M'il- 
liam  0-fler  to  a  baronetcy  by  King  George  V,  at 
the  recent  coronation  celebration,  will  be  most 
pleasing  to  his  hosts  of  friends  in  America  and 
especially  in  Maryland  where  he  spent  much  the 
larger  p:ivt  of  his  professional  life.  Who  does 
not  love  liim,  who  lias  not  been  helped  and  in- 
spired by  him,  who  docs  not  feel  the  force  of 
that  magic  personality  which  insensibly  diffuses 
itself  far  and  wide  aliout  him  wherever  he  abides? 

The  honor  comes  well  as  Ihc  culmination  of  a 
long,  useful  and  brilliant  career.  For  ten  years 
at  McGill,  and  then  five  at  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania,  it  was  the    great  good  fortune  of 


this  community  to  possess  him  for  sixteen  years, 
a  longer  period  than  both  the  others  together. 
And  even  when  he  left  us,  it  was,  as  he  himself 
said,  only  to  work  "in  another  part  of  the  same 
vineyard." 

May  the  influence  of  his  example,  his  character 
and  his  teachings  long  remain  with  us,  helping 
us  in  the  accomplishment  of  every  good  word 
and  work.  And  to  Sir  William  Osier  we  wish 
long  life,  and  ever  increasing  happiness  and 
prosperity ! 


We  have  more  than  once  called  on  the  author- 
ities of  the  University  to  apply  for  an  appropria- 
tion from  the  Legislature.  Hitherto  our  advice  has 
fallen  on  deaf  ears.  Nevertheless,  we  repeal,  it 
now  and  with  redoubled  earnestness. 

Why  is  it  that  they  will  not  heed  so  reasona- 
ble and  urgent  a  call  ?  Is  there  any  doubt  in 
their  minds  that  we  need  financial  help  ?  Is  not 
the  state  of  the  University  itself,  a  sufficient 
plea  to  induce  them  to  take  action  ?  How  can 
a  Board  of  Governors  without  means  run  a  Uni- 
versity ?  Is  not  our  plight  pitiful  ?  Practically 
without  a  head,  without  the  means  to  pay  one 
if  we  had  it,  without  administration  building  or 
service,  without  a  local  habitation — surely  this 
condition  of  things  calls  for  active  and  immedi- 
ate action.  The  Regents  should  without  delay  file 
with  the  Board  of  Estimates  an  application  fcr 
an  appropriation  from  the  state  at  least  equal  to 
that  received,  hyihe  Johns  Hopkins  Universiiy .  There 
is  no  reason  why  it  should  have  $25,000  a  year 
and  we  not  have  it.  The  State  should  support 
its  two  universities  and  we  believe  the  spirit  of 
fairness  and  justice  will  prevail  with  our  legis- 
lators and  that  they  will  give  to  the  older  uni- 
versity as  well  as  to  the  younger.  In  the  interest 
of  our  alumni  and  of  our  University — so  long 
neglected— we  beseech  theBoard  of  Regents  to  act. 


What  is  the  meaning  of  the  word/Vit'iirf  as  ap- 
plied to  the  University?  Webster  defines  the 
word  friend  as  "one  who  is  attached  to  another  by 
affection  ;  one  who  entertains  for  another  senti- 
ments of  esteem,  respect  and  affection,  which 
lead  him  to  desire  his  company  and  to  seek  to 
promote  his  happiness  and  prosperity."  Apply- 
ing these  words — "seeking  to  promote  prosper- 
ity"— to  ourselves,  how  few  of  us  realize  in  our 
actions  this  sort  of  friendship!    how  few  of  us  are

troubling  ourselves  about  tbe  prosperity  of  the 
University  of  Maryland!  If  one  were  to  take 
the  lists  of  Regents,  of  Faculties,  of  Alumni, 
and  g(i  over  them,  how  few  of  those  named 
woud  measui'e  up  to  the  mark  I 

There  is  a  small  band,  however,  who  are  earn- 
estly and  sincerely  striving  to  promote  the  wel- 
fare of  the  University.  To  it  we  say,  do  not 
despair!  StriveTon — redouble  your  efforts!  It 
is  a  good  cause — a  glorious  cause — in  which  j'ou 
are  engaged.  You  are  few  in  number,  but  num- 
bers are  not  the  only  thing  that  tells.  Great  un- 
dertakings have  been  carried  many  a  time 
by  a  few.  It  is  men  nud  enthusiasm  that  count. 
You  will  succeed  at  last  and  your  success  will  be 
all  the  more  honorable  that  there  are  but  few  of 
you,  and  that  your  names  are  known  and  tliat 
you  liave  contended  against  such  obstacles. 


No  one  would  maintain  that  the  medical  libra ry 
is  what  it  might  be,  possibly  not  what  it  should 
be;  but  we  must  take  exception  to  some  remarks 
about  it  in  Terra  Marin'.  In  the  first  place  it  is 
not  "almost  useless,"  but  is  a  valuable  collec- 
tion of  books  both  ancient  and  modern,  a  re- 
spectable proportion  being  recent  publications, 
which  are  continually  in  use  by  members  of  the 
Faculty  and  students.  Few  of  those  engaged  in 
the  study  and  practice  of  medicine  are  reading 
men,  at  least  outside  of  text-books.  Anyone 
who  visits  the  rooms  of  the  Medical  and  Chirur- 
gical  Faculty  on  Cathedral  St.,  will  find  them 
often  empty,  and  we  venture  the  statement  that 
in  proportion  to  numbers,  our  Library  is  used  as 
much  by  our  people  as  that  fine  collection  is  by 
the  profession  of  Baltimore.  Students  are  busy 
people  and  with  their  lectures,  laboratory  work 
and  text-books,  they  have  little  time  to  spend  in 
libraries.  Those  who  give  even  all  their  time  to 
the  former  find  it  hard  to  keep  up.  To  a  few — 
exceptioijal  men — a  library  is  a  boon,  an  essen- 
tial. This  class  is  finding  its  way  in  increasing 
numbers  into  our  hall  and  learning  to  appreci- 
ate the  treasures  that  are  in  store  for  them  there. 
We  may  well  be  proud  of  this  fine  collection ;  it 
is    one  of  the    show-things    of    the    University.

Few  medical  schools  can   boast  of  anything  ap- 
proaching it. 

Again,  it  does  not  "occupy  an  entire  building" 
niir  does  it  "give  little  in  return."  Even  the 
room  in  which  it  is  housed  is  in  almost  constant 
use  during  the  session  for  examinations.  This 
is  necesitated  by  our  cramped  space  and  need  of 
buildings.  When  our  finances  improve  and  es- 
pecially when  our  endowment  fund  has  assumed 
something  like  satisfactory  proportions,  we  may 
hope  to  have  a  room  devoted  exclusively  to  the 
purposes  of  the  Library.  Meanwhile  the  oppor- 
tunities here  afforded  are  open  to  all  and  those 
who  have  the  capacity  to.  use  them  will  get  much 

in  return.

The  death  of  Isaac  Brooks,  Jr.,  removes  a  well- 
known  figure  from  our  midst,  a  small  man  with 
quick  step  until  his  last  years,  a  bachelor,  a 
Friend,  an  habitue  of  the  University  Club,  a 
lover  of  society,  a  connoisseur  in  art,  a  man  of 
cultivated  mind.  But  his  interest  to  us — and  a 
pathetic  one  it  was — was  his  connection  with  our 
dead  past — with  our  School  of  Arts  and  Sciences 
that  we  allowed  to  perish  some  30-odd  years  ago. 
He  was  an  A.  B.  of  that  school ;  its  first  and  the 
only  one  of  the  year  1859,  and  no  one  who  knew 
Dalrymple  would  say,  as  the  papers  have  said, 
that  "Isaac  Brooks  learned  his  classics  at 
the  theatre."  Dr.  Dalrymple  was  a  teacher  of 
the  classics  par  excellence;  and  his  name  was 
"thorough."  Just  think  of  an  entire  class  be- 
ing required  to  commit  to  memory  the  whole 
Ars  Poetica  of  Horace,  consisting  of  47.5  lines  or 
eleven  pages,  and  so  thoroughly  that  if  started 
by  an  examiner  at  any  line  of  the  poem  they 
could  repeat  it  until  stopped.  "They  would 
then  go  back  and  construe  what  they  had  recited, 
then  parse  and  afterwards  scan  as  many  lines  as 
required,  giving  every  rule  of  syntax  and  pros- 
ody applicable,  all  without  looking  into  the 
book."  Such  was  the  training  Isaac  Brooks  got 
in  this  University  and  who  can  doubt  that  the 
lesson  of  thoroughness  thus  inculcated  was  help- 
ful to  him  and  to  others  throughout  life. 

o 

Dr.  I.  M.  Macks,  writing  of  "Honor  Si/slehi'' 
in  Terra  Maria',  naturally  takes  great  pride  in 
the  fact  that  its  general  adoption  in  the  Medical 
School  was  brought  about  by  tlie  Class  of  1911. 
It  is  only  fair,  however,  to  say  that  the  Class  of 
1913  was  the  first  to  adopt  it  as  a  class.

OLD  MARYLAND. 


The  rules  of  the  system  have  Imen  published 
in   Old  Maryland — see  Feb.  issue,  1911,  p.  26. 

It  is  rery  gratifying  to  learn  from  Dr.  Macks, 
that  the  system  has  proved  so  far  a  success.  To 
quote  his  interesting  article  —  somewhat  at 
length : 

"A  test  of  the  new  system  was  given  at  the 
midyear  examinations  and  the  result  was  grati- 
fying to  all.  The  fears  of  a  few  pessimists  were 
quieted,  especially  after  the  examination  in  se- 
nior surgery  under  Professor  Randolph  Winslow. 
It  was  noted  in  this  that  although  the  men  were 
permitted  to  speak  to  one  another,  although  they 
were  under  practically  .no  restrictions  in  the 
room,  the  students  felt  more  compelled  to  pay 
attention  to  their  own  work  than  under  the  old 
system  where  they  were  watched. 

"The  good  results  under  the  new  system  are 
brought  about  by  extremely  simple  causes. 
Firstly,  the  student  is  made  to  feel  that  he  is 
honest  and  responds  accordingly.  He  has  no  de- 
sire to  cheat  because  he  knows  that  he  is  taking 
an  examination  in  which  a  trust  is  put  in  him 
and  no  man  likes  to  betray  one's  confidence,  es- 
pecially his  teacher's.  Secondly,  no  student 
likes  to  be  considered  a  'black  sheep,'  yet  that  is 
what  he  would  be  considered  by  his  fellow-class- 
mates were  he  seen  clieating  under  the  new 
system . 

"Formerly,  under  the  old  system,  watchers, 
alias  as.sistants,  were  placed  in  the  examination 
room.  Therefore,  by  cheating,  there  was  no 
one's  confidence  to  betray  because  no  trust  was 
put  in  the  student.  There  was  no  fear  of  the 
opprobrium  of  classmates  because  the  students 
considered  the  watchers  more  or  less  of  a  com- 
mon enemy  and  although  the  majority  of  the 
students  would  not  themselves  cheat,  nor  attempt 
to  do  so,  yet  they  were  apt  to  consider  it  no  par- 
ticular breach  of  honesty  if  one  of  their  asso- 
ciates did  so.  In  fact  many  students  who  have 
cheated  have  been  known  to  boast  that  they 
managed  to  successfully  'crib'  at  the  examina- 
tion under  So-and-So;  and  before  examinations 
ingenious  plans  were  made,  not  primarily  to 
cheat  but  to  outwit  the  examiner  and  his 
watchers.  In  other  words,  when  the  students 
were  watchkd,  that  spirit,  that  perversity  of  im- 
pulse seen  both  in  the  examination  room  and  on 
the  outside,  would  assert  itself  and  many  would 
feel  inclined  to  do  just  the  opposite  of  what  they 


knew  to  be  right.  It  is  manifest  that  under  the 
Honor  System  all  this  is  an  impossibility,  for 
under  it  there  is  no  external  compulsion,  but,  if 
it  may  be  so  termed,  there  is  an  autogenous  one, 
a  force  emanating  from  one's  own  free  will  and 
conscience.  Therefore,  so  long  as  ;j,  class  of  stu- 
dents determine  to  live  up  to  the  Honor  System, 
so  long  must  it  be  a  success.  And  let  it  be  known 
that  the  Honor  System  here  is  supported  by  the 
students  determinedly;  that  it  has  already 
passed  through  a  trial  triumphantly  and  that  it 
exists  here,  not  in  name  only,  not  in  the  minds 
of  some,  but  in  reality  and  in  fact."

Apr.  2,  1800.  Called  to  a  case  of  dysentery 
on  board  a  New  Englandman.  Very  uncommon 
at  this  season  but  more  common  always  among 
northern  men  than  our  citizens.  It  shows  that 
there  is  exhalation  in  our  city  earlier  than  has 
been  imagined.  He  was  cured  by  the  usual  anti- 
phlogistic remedies.  The  diseases  now  prevalent 
very  few  but  mostly  slight  pleurisies  with  bilious 
symptoms,  and  the  ,serum '  of  blood  drawn  is 
yellow. 

May  1.  Called  to  Thomas  Slierwood  with  all 
the  characteristic  symptoms  of  malignant  fever. 
He  recovered  by  the  loss  of  24  ounces  of  blood 
and  frequent  purging  with  calomel  and  jalap. 
The  smallpox  became  inliammatory  and  put  on 
bilious  symptoms  at  this  time,  and  several  cases 
of  bilious  fever  came  to  my  notice.  Great  tor- 
rent of  rain  fell — great  quantity  of  water  on  the 
ground  ready  to  dissolve  putrefactive  materials 
as  soon  as  the  sun  gets  hot  enough  to  assist. 

May  5.  Called  to  a  c&se  of  cholera  in  a  gentle- 
man of  (30.  The  discharges  from  the  stomach  and 
bowels  were  very  great  and  toward  the  close  the 
bile  from  the  stomach  was  of  a  dark  blue  color 
and  as  salt  as  brine.  The  discharge  of  this  mat- 
ter seemed  to  relieve  the  anxiety  in  some  meas- 
ure, but  the  stomach  continued  irritable  and  vio- 
lent spasms  in  legs  and   thighs   continued.     He

had  been  sick  ten  hours.  Gave  10  drops  of 
laudanum  every  half  hour  under  which  spasms, 
etc.,  abated  and  he  gradually  recovered. 

May  12.  A  case  nf  malignant  yellow  fever 
carried  to  the  Marine  Hospital  with  symptoms 
of  black  vomit,  hemorrhage  from  gums,  eyelids, 
etc.,  and  a  yellowness  bordering  on  black.  There 
are  now  prevalent  many  cases  of  sore  throat, 
some  ulcerated  extensively  and  smelling  horribly. 
A  few  with  scarlet  efflorescence.  It  is  very  in- 
flamatory  a.nd  not  to  be  rernoved  or  even  assisted 
by  emetics  until  action  is  reduced  by  bleeding 
and  purging.  I  once  saw  scarlet  fever  epidemic 
in  Caroline  Co.,  and  it  yielded  universally  to 
emetics.  But  here  there  was  a  degree  of  malig- 
nancy which  could  be  overcome  only  by  more 
powerful  'remedies,  as  bleeding,  purging,  etc. 
As  a  proof  that  this  disease  partook  of  malig- 
nant symptoms,  green  and  black  stools  were  dis- 
charged from  the  bowels  and  the  fever  assumed 
a  remittent  type,  as  has  almost  every  disease 
since  last  fall.  The  gutters,  wharves  and  other 
places  containing  stagnant  waters  emit  a  horrid 
stench,  not  so  much  complained  of  by  the  citi- 
zens, but  almost  insupportable  by  those  from 
the  country.  Notwithstanding,  city  very  healthy. 
There  appears  to  be  an  irritability  of  stomach 
ready  to  be  aroused  by  every  excitent,  probably 
the  effect  of  miasmata  dormant  until  excited. 

May  19.  Lieutenant  Edwards  was  wounded  in 
a  duel  today — thigh  fractured.  When  the  sym- 
pathetic fever  came  on  he  turned  yellow  and 
puked  every  day.     Ri'spice  fiiicm. 

May  30.  A  great  many  sick  stomachs  and 
headaches,  cured  by  removing  bile.  Every  person 
who  comes  to  town  with  anj'  chronic  disease  gets 
worse  in  summer  on  account  of  the  city  stimuli 
and  the  miasmata.  Even  a  predisposition  is  ex- 
cited into  a  disease  by  these  means.

According  to  the  annual  report  of  the  Medical 
Library,  the  collection  now  numbers  10,451,  with 
149  current  journals  and  about  7000  pamphlets. 
During  the  year  680  volumes  have  been  added 
from  the  following  sources:  LTniversity  of  Mary- 
land Medical  Graduates'  Theses  (.just  bound), 
1817-87,  159  volumes;  books  of  the  late  Pro- 
fessor James  H.  Harris,  the  gift  of  his  family, 
162  vols;  Prof.  R.  Winslow,  115  vols;  Dr.  N. 
Winslow,  98  vols;  Prof.  R.  Dorsey  Coale,  41 
vols;  books  of  late  Prof.  J.  Faris  Moore,  Md. 
College  of  Pharmacy,  left  by  his  son,  41  vols  ;  Dr. 
Thomas  E.  Satterthwaite,  N.  Y.,  40  vols;  Prof. 
J.  R.  Winslow,  9  vols.  Many  of  the  additions 
are  of  great  value,  about  l-7th  being  publica- 
tions of  the  last  18  mos.  The  Winslow  case, 
now  nearly  filled,  is  a  most  important  addition 
to  the  Library,  and  it  ishoped  that  others,  mem- 
bers of  the  Faculty  and  alumni,  will  be  induced 
by  it  to  become  patrons  of  the  Library.  Consid- 
erable progress  has  been  made  in  collecting  re- 
prints of  articles  written  by  members  of  the 
Faculty  and  eminent  alumni,  and  help  is  in- 
voked to  make  these  sets  complete,  in  order  that 
they  may  be  bound  and  preserved  in  permanent 
form . 

The  most  important  events  in  the  past  year 
were  the  binding  of  the  theses — a  just  tribute  to 
the  several  generations  of  men  who  have  been 
trained  in  the  institution,   the  erection   of  cases

along  the  northern  wall  of  the  hall,  giving  ad- 
ditional room  for  8000  books  and  the  acquisition 
of  the  Winslow  volumes. 

In  commenting  upon  the  present  condition  of 
the  Library,  the  Librarian  points  out  the  urgent 
need  of  a  larger  appropriation,  for  salary,  for 
purchase  of  books  and  joiu-nals,  for  printing, 
binding,  stationary,  postage,  cleaning,  inciden- 
tals. The  room  should  be  kept  cleaner,  warmer 
and  more  inviting.  Glass  fronts  should  replace 
the  wire  screens  which  do  not  keep  out  the  dust. 
The  hall  thould  be  used  only  for  the  library; 
quiet,  security  order  and  cleanliness,  which  are 
so  essential  in  the  conduct  of  a  library,  cannot 
be  secured  where  the  hall  is  being  constantly 
used  for  examination  purp(,)ses.  Under  present 
arrangements  there  is  constant  danger  of  -fire  from 
careless  use  oE  matches,  stumps  of  cigarettes, 
etc.,  among  so  much  inflammable  material.  In 
conclusion,  the  Librarian  recommends  that  a 
library  fte  be  required  of  all  students  to  meet 
the  above  needs,  as  is  done  in  the  Law  Depart- 
ment. 


RECOLLECTIONS  OF  SLAVE  DAYS 

AND  WAR  TIMES. 

By  the  Editor. 

{Continued  from  page  76). 

From  Staunton  Hunter  proceeded  up  the  Val- 
ley, intending  to  fall  upon  and  capture  Lynch- 
burg before  reinforcements  could  reach  it.  He 
nearly  succeeded.  Owing  to  the  destruction  of 
the  telegraph  lines  by  Sheridan's  and  Duffie's 
cavalry,  Lee  was  ignorant  of  our  movements.  For- 
tunately he  had  started  Early  from  before  Rich- 
mond for  the  Valley  on  .June  13.  Early's  orders 
were  to  make  a  rapid  march,  by  way  of  Louisa 
C.  H.  and  Charlotlesville,  into  ihe  Valley,  so  as 
to  strike  Hunter  in  the  rear,  and  after  destroy- 
ing him  to  move  down  the  Valley,  cross  the 
Potomac  and  threaten  Washington;  Brecken- 
ridge  was  to  co-operate.  Early's  forces  were  the 
cream  of  Lee's  army,  consisting  of  the  2nd 
(Ewell's.)  corps,  a  little  over  8000  muskets,  and 
two  battalions  of  artillery  under  Brig.  Genl. 
Long,  Chief  of  Artillery.  Hunter's  movement 
was  anticipated  by  Breckenridge,    who    made    a

forced  march  to  the  east  of  the  Blue  Ridge,  from 
Rockfish  Gap  to  Lynchburg,  and,  his  route  be- 
ing the  shorter,  he  arrived  first  at  the  lines  near 
Lynchburg. 

When  we  (i.  e.  Breckenridge)  reached  Lynch- 
burg, we  found  some  slight  works  had  been  hastily 
thrown  up  on  College  hill  at  the  edge  of  the 
town,  covering  the  roads  from  the  west.  These 
we  occupied  in  part,  the  remainder  of  the  line 
being  held  by  reserves,  convalescents  from  the 
hospitals  and  the  cadets  from  the  Virginia  Mili- 
tary Institute.  On  the  16th  Early  arrived  at  the 
Rivanna  River  near  Charlottesville,  having 
marched  80  miles  in  four  days.  He  there  re- 
ceived intelligence  from  Breckenridge  that  Hun- 
ter was  but  20  miles  from  Lynchburg  and  rap- 
idly advancing  on  that  place.  It  is  60  miles  from 
Charlottesville  to  Lynchburg.  Early  began  to 
dispatch  his  troops  by  rail  early  on  the  17th  and 
the  first  train  arrived  at  Lynchburg  shortly  after 
noon.  By  evening  one  half  his  corps  were  there 
and  at  the  same  time  the  main  body  of  Hunter's 
army  arrived  before  the  city,  having  been  delayed 
on  their  march  by  McCausland.  Early  found  Im- 
boden  four  miles  out  on  the  turnpike  near  an  old 
Quaker  Church.  Ramseur's  and  Gordon's  troops 
w^ere  marched  out  two  miles  to  a  redoubt  in 
which  there  were  two  pieces  of  artillery  and 
there  put  in  line  of  battle.  The  rest  of  Early's 
command  did  not  reach  Lynchburg  until  late  on 
the  18th.  Even  then  his  entire  force  (17000) 
was  still  less  than  Hunter's. 

On  the  17th  and  18th  there  was  some  skir- 
mishing at  the  outer  fortifications  but  Earlj' satis- 
fied himself  with  acting  on  the  defensive. 

On  the  18th  Hunter  made  a  heavy  demonstra- 
tion with  infantry,  cavalry  and  artillery  and 
thus  became  aware  of  our  strength.  I  was  a  wit- 
ness on  this  day  of  an  artillery  .duel  which  took 
place  near  the  position  where  we  were  sta- 
tioned. I  had  gone  over  to  the  right  of  the  pike 
to  where  some  pieces  of  our  artillery  were,  and 
while  there  the  firing  began.  Our  guns  were 
handled  with  great  coolness  and  effect  and  it  was 
a  grand  sight  to  witness  this  duel  of  the  big  guns. 
I  was  under  fire  for  some  time.  This  was  the 
so-called  "Battle  of  Lynchburg." 

Arrangements  were  made  to  attack  at  daj-- 
break  but  that  night  Hunter  began  a  hasty  re- 
treat. We  entered  on  the  pursuit  the  next  morn- 
ing.    Breckenridge "s  command — temporarily  un-

(ler  Elzey  owing  to  the  former's  illness — ad- 
vanced along  the  Forrest  road  to  the  right  ,of  the 
pike,  while  the  2nd  Corps  marched  by  the  latter. 
The  enemy  retreated  Avith  great  precipitation  and 
we  continually  saw  evidences  of  their  haste  in 
abandoned  wagons,  horses,  etc.  Their  rear  un- 
der Averill  was  overtaken  by  Ramseur  that  even- 
ing at  Liberty — 25  miles  west  of  Lynchburg  and 
driven  through  the  town,  considerable  loss  being 
inflicted  (in  it.  They  made  a  brief  stand  at  the 
gorge  in  Buford's  Gap  and  they  destroyed,  as  far 
as  they  were  able,  the  rail- road  bridges,  water 
tanks,  stations,  etc. 

The  pursuit  continued  for  three  days,  when 
the  enemy  having  gotten  into  the  mountains  to- 
wards Lewisburg  and  the  artillery  being  mostly 
behind,  a  halt  was  made.  The  cooking  uuensils 
were  back  with  the  trains  and  a  great  part  of  the 
command  had  had  nothing  to  eat  for  two  days 
except  a  little  bacon  gotten  at  Liberty. 

On  the  22nd  we  rested,  resuming  our  march 
the  next  day  towards  Staunton  which  we  rcafch- 
ed  on  the  27th. 

Since  leaving  Rockfish  Gap,  we  had  been  under 
the  command  of  Colonel  August  Forsberg,  of  the 
51st  Va.  (Wharton's)  Regt.  This  gentleman,  an 
accomplished  Swede,  had  been  trained  in  the  ser- 
vice of  his  native  country.  He  had  the  most 
remarkable  sang-froid  I  have  ever  seen — it  might 
almost  have  been  called  "intelligent  apathy." 
Even  in  the  most  trying  positions,  as  when  un- 
der fire  and  in  battle,  he  always  spoke  in  the 
same  quiet  undertone,^  and  nothing  ever  seemed 
to  make  him  hasten,  in  the  least,  his  deliber- 
ateness  of  speech  and  action.  As  senior  officer  he 
commanded  the  brigade  tn  which  my  regiment 
was  now  attached.  Col.  Forsberg  died  at  Lynch- 
burg, Va.,  July  15,  1910,  aged  79.  For  21  years 
he  was  city  engineer  there. 

When  we  reached  Staunton  I  was  sulfering 
from  a  crop  of  boils,  which  caused  me  much  dis- 
comfort and  I  had  been  compelled  to  ride  in  an 
ambulance  for  two  or  three  days.  I  therefore 
entered  the  hospital  and  remained  there  for 
about  a  week.  It  was  my  first  experience  in 
hospital  life  and  I  found  the  ennui  of  it  almost 
intolerable.  .Just  across  from  my  bed  lay  a  poor 
fellow  from  North  Carolina,  suffering  from  gan- 
grene of  the  leg,  consequent  upon  a  gunshot 
wound.  His  leg  was  in  a  horrible  condition, 
for  antiseptics  were  then  unknown,  and  the  odor 


from  it  was  unbearable.     His  groans  were  lieart- 
rending  and  banished  all  sleep. 

Early  halted  a  day  or  two  at  Staunton  to  fill 
wagons  with  provisions.  The  amount  of  trans- 
portation was  reduced  to  meet  the  necessities  of 
a  flying  column.  Even  regimental  officers  were 
compelled  to  carry  all  their  clothing.  Gordon's 
and  Elzey's  Divi-ions — the  latter  under  Vaughn 
but  later  under  Echols — were  united  in  a.  corps 
under  Breckenridge.  According  to  Early,  his 
force  at  this  time  consisted  of  10000  muskets  and 
2000  cavahy.  The  latter  were  undr  General 
Ransom  and  consisted  of  four  s.Tiall  brigades 
viz:  McCausland's  (formerly  Jenkins'),  Wm.  L. 
("Mudwall")  Jackson's,  Imboden's,  and  Brad- 
ley T.  Johnson's  (formerly  Wm.  E.  Jones'). 
He  adds — that  "nearly  if  not  quite  half  the 
company  officers  and  men  were  bavefooted  or 
nearly  so." 

As  soon  as  I  was  able  to  travel  I  set  out  down 
the  Valley  for  my  home,  which  I  reached  on 
July  lllh.  Consequently  1  did  not  participate 
in  the  movement  into  Maryland  July  5-14. 
Early's  attempt  upon  Washington  is  well-known. 
Briefly,  he  crossed  the  Potomac  at  Shepherds- 
town  on  July  5.  On  the  9th  occurred  the  bat- 
tle of  "Monocacy,"  in  whicliGcnl.  Lew  Wallace 
— the  author  of  Ben  Hur — was  defeated.  Early 
then  made  a  demonstration  against  Washington, 
but  found  it  too  strong  for  assault  and  on  the  14th 
he  recrossed  the  Potoniac  at  White's  Ford,  camp- 
ing at  Jjcesburg.  Hunter  with  his  forces  retired 
by  way  of  Lewisburg,  Charleston,  etc.  Llurry- 
ing  around  to  the  relief  of  Washington,  he  ar- 
rived at  Harper's  Ferry  the  same  day  that  Early 
crossed  the  Potomac  on  his  return  from  Mary- 
land. On  the  17lh  Early  crossed  the  Blue  Ridge 
and  Shenandoah  into  the  Valley  at  Snicker's 
Gap  and  Casllcman's  Ferry,  Hunter  pursuing 
him  with  his  own  connnand  and  Wright's  Corps, 
which  liad  been  sent  from  Grant's  Army. 

I  now  rejoined  my  command  and  took  iiart  in 
the  engagement  on  the  afternoon  of  the  18th,  in 
which  we  defeated  the  attempt  of  the  enemy  to 
cross  the  fords  of  the  Shenandoah.  Brecken- 
ridge's  Corps  had  charge  of  the  fords  and  it  was 
Thoburn — the  same  who  flanked  us  at  Piedmont

over,  capturing  the  ford  and  a  captain  and  1-5 
skirmishers.  Breehenridge  advanced  against 
them  whik^  Rodes  fell  on  the  Union  right.  The 
eiiemj"'s  cavalry  gave  way  on  the  right,  then  his 
infantrj- — being  driven  into  the  river.  Rodes' 
men  were  exposed  to  an  artillery  fire  as  they 
reached  the  bank.     Thohiirn's  lo.-<s  was  4:22. 

Confronted  by  a  force  so  much  superior,  and  his 
wagon-train  tlireatened  by  Averill,  who  had 
moved  from  Martiusburg  on  the  17th  with  a  force 
composed  of  2350  infantry,  cavalry  and  artillery, 
Early  fell  back  leisurely  til  Strasburg,  where  he 
arrived  on  the  22ik1. 

Learning  that  \\'right's  corps  had  returned  to 
Grant  and  that  Crook's  and  Averill's  forces  were 
united  at  Kernstown,  we  advanced  agaii-i  on  the 
2-lth.  It  is  about  20  miles  from  Strasurg  to 
Kerustown.  Ramscur  went  around  Crook's  right. 
Seeing  Crook's  left  to  be  assailable,  Early  directed 
Breckenridge  to  move  against  it  with  Echols' 
Divison,  nnw  under  Wharton.  We  nsuved  to 
this  attack  under  cover  of  some  ravines  and  un- 
der Breckenridge's  personal  supervision.  "We 
struck  their  left  Hank  in  the  opon  ground,  doub- 
ling it  up  and  throwing  the  whole  line  into  con- 
fusion. Thej^  were  routed  and  lied  through  Win-

the  Shenandoah.  I  would  have  been  sorry  in- 
deed if  he  had  through  mj-  instrumentality  lost 
a  second  horse.  Crook  fled  to  Bunker  Hill,  near 
Martiusburg  with  a  loss  of  1200. 

From  this  time  to  Aug.  7,  we  were  hovering 
between  the  Martiusburg  pike  and  Hagcrstown 
in  ^Maryland,  destroying  the  railroad  and  cover- 
ing ^NlcCluasland'  s  move  against  Chambersburg. 
On  the  9th  McCausland  and  Bradley  T.  Johnson,

On  Aug.  7lh  Sheridan  assumed  command  and 
two  days  later  advanced  from  Harper's  Ferry  to- 
wards Berryville.  He  had  with  him  the  6tli 
Corps,  which  had  been  returned  to  the  Valley 
and  also  the  19th  Corps,  o£  Grant's  army. 
Early  fell  back  amidst  heavj'  skirmishing  to  Fish- 
er's Hill  near  Strasburg,  and  awaited  reinforce- 
ments. Sheridan's  skirmishers  ad\'anced  aci'oss 
Cedar  Creek  and  demonstrated  in  the  eveniKg 
against  our  pickets  on  Hupp"s  Hill.  The  next 
morning  (Aug.  13)  Sheridan's  cavalry  (Torbert 
and  Wilson  from  Grant  were  now  with  him)  re- 
connoitred on  the  back  road.  The  6th  Corps 
occupied  IIupp's  Hill  and  their  skirmishers  ad- 
vanced into  Stra  ."burg.  We  were  now  joined  by 
the  remnants  of  the  raiding  party  from  Moore- 
field and  Anderson  arrived  at  Front  Royal,  hav- 
ing been  sent  to  our  aid  bj'  Lee  with  Kershaw's 
Division  of  Infantry  and  Fitz  Lee's  Division  of 
Cavalry.  Imboden  was  sent  to  Luray  ^'alley  and 
a  signal  station  was  established  on  3-Top  ^loun^ 
tain.  It  was  now  Sheridan's  turn  to  retreat  and 
Early's  outposts  reoccupied  Hupp's  Hill  on  Aug. 
12.  There  was  sharp  skirmishing  the  afternoon 
of  the  loth,  our  skirmishers  driving  back  the 
Federals  on  buth  sides  of  the  pike.  That  night 
Sheridan  began  his  retreat,  moving  back  to  Ber- 
r.yville  so  as  to  cover  the  road  from  Snicker's  Gap 
on  his  left  (south).  Early  and  Anderson  pur- 
sued on  the  17th  and  late  in  the  afternoon  en- 
countered their  rear  guard  consisting  lu  Torbert's 
Calvary  and  some  infantry  between  Kernstown 
and  Winchester.  We  attacked  it  and  after  a 
sharp  engagement  routed  it,  driving  it  through 
Winchester,  capturing  250  prisoners  and  killing 
or  wounding  97.  In  this  engagement  our  divis- 
ion (Wharton's)  attacked  the  enemy's  infantry 
on  our  left,  driving  it  from  Ht  strong  position  on 
Bowers'  Hill,  south  of  the  town.  Ramseur  oc- 
cupied the  centre  and  Gordon  the  right  of  our 
line. 

Early  now  moved  down  the  Martiusburg  pike 
where  he  could  get  grain  and  forage,  break  the 
Baltimore  and  Ohio  R.  R.  and  threaten  ?ilaryland 
and  Pennsylvania.  He  came  near  capturing  a 
large  body  of  the  enemy's  cavalry  starting  out 
on  a  raid  around  our  left.  Sheridan  retired  un- 
der protection  of  his  guns  on  ^laryland  Heights. 
Early  and  Anderson  now  determine  1  to  attack 
Sheridan  and  on  the  21st  the  former  advanced 
through    Smithfield    towards    Charlestowu.      A

sharp  engagement  took  place  between  Rocles'  and

Federals  lost  a  considerable  number  and  Sheri- 
dan fell  back  to  Halllown  four  miles  west  of 
Harper's  Ferry  where  he  was  strongly  entrench- 
ed. Early  demonstrated  against  this  position 
for  three  days  but  found  it  too  strong  for  attack. 

Early  now  made  a  demonstration  in  force  to 
Shepherdstown.  Between  Ijeetown  and  Kcarneys- 
ville  he  came  upon  Torbert's  cavalry  which  was 
roughly  handled  by  Breekenridge, Custer  being  cut . 
off  but  effecting  an  escape  across  the  Potomac. 
On  Aug.  26th,  Early  withdrew  from  his  ad- 
vanced position  at  Shepherdstown  to  Bunker 
Hill  and  Stephenson's  Depot.  Engagements 
niiw  occurred  along  the  Opequon  Creek  with 
the  enemy's  cavalry.  On  Sept.  2,  Early  made 
a  reconnoisance  in  force  to  Summit  Point,  re- 
turning and  camping  at  Stephenson's  Depot 
just  below  Winchester. 

At  this  time  General  Lee  wj-ote  that  he  was  in

sunset — to  the  surprise  of  both — he  stumbled  on

trenching in  a  strong  position.  Here  there  was

obtained  a  view  of  the  Federals  which  enabled

THE  REAL  EDUCATIONAL  NEEDS  OF 
THE  PHARMACIST. 

By  Henry  P.  Hynson,  Phae.  D.,  Baltimore. 

(Read  before  the  Am.   Pharin.  Asso.,  at  tfi,e  recent 

meeting  in  Boston.) 

These  conclusions  are  arrived  at  from  a  point 
of  view  secured  by  standing  upon  a  mass  of  my 
own  needs  and  deficiencies,  that  is  heightened 
and  made  more  secure  by  the  deficiencies  of 
many  proprietors,  with  whom  I  have  come  in 
contact,  and,  more  particularly,  by  the  glaring 
defects  of  clerks  I  have  employed. 

It  must  be  clearly  understood  that  I  am  not 
presuming  to  criticise  the  syllabus  of  studies 
outlined  by  the  able  national  committee  which 
has  had  that  matter  in  charge;  indeed,  I  will  be 
glad  if  I  am  able  to  assist  that  body  of  earnest 
workers  in  the  good  work  they  are  doing. 

It  would  seem,  that  a  person  knowing,  and 
knowing,  well,  all  the  subjects  that  committee 
has  prepared  for  a  college  curriculum,  might  be 
a  fairly  good  pharmacist.  Yet,  I  believe  there 
will  be  many  who  will,  when  the  course  of  stud- 
ies proposed  is  put  into  operation,  make  a  uni- 
form rating  of  over  ninety,  percentum,  and  then 
fail,  sadly  fail,  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the 
retail  pharmacist  of  today,  even  in  strictly 
pharmaceutical  pursuits. 

I  will  confess  that  my  standard  of  success  is 
quite  different  from  that  of  many  others  who 
may  be  very  properly  rated  as  both  sane  and 
sound.  The  mere  fact  that  a  pharmacist  wears 
large  diamonds  in  his  shiny,  celluloid  shirt  front 
or  rides  in  an  orange,  red  and  green  colored  auto- 
mobile or  cleaves  placid  waters  ^vith  a  sputtering 
motor  boat  and  pays  for  them  all,  while  still 
having  "money  to  burn,"  does  not,  in  my  opin- 
ion, prove  that  he  is  or  has  been  a  successful 
pharmacist.  I  am  quite  ready  to  grant  that 
money-making  and  money-saving  constitute  one 


and  a  very  essential  element  of  success.  Any 
one  who,  barring  unusual  misfortune,  fails  to 
do  this  can  not  be  styled  successful.  But,  be- 
side providing  for  himself  a  comfortable  living 
and  a  few  ducats  for  a  "rainy  day,"  the  really' 
successful  pharmacist  must  have  made  himself 
truly  useful  to  the  community  in  which  he  is  lo- 
cated and,  by  all  means,  he  must  have  won  re- 
spect for  the  vocation  in  which  he  has  served ; 
glory  and  honor  must  have  been  added  to  his 
profession  because  of  his  accomplishments  and 
because  of  his  honorable  practice.  Only  such 
practitioners  will  be  remembered;  only  such 
practitioners  will  leave  the  world  of  pharmacy 
and,  incidentally,  the  world  at  large  better  be- 
cause they  lived,  thus  evidencing  the  only  kind 
of  success  that  is  really  worth  seeking. 

Now  to  win  such  satisfactory  results,  one  must, 
of  all  things,  have  an  abundance  of  common 
seme.  That  means,  I  believe,  that  he  should 
possess  that  quality  of  mind  which  will  prevent 
him  from  making  a  fool  df  himself  when  solving 
problems,  the  exact  counterpart  of  which  he  has 
not  solved  before  or  which  have  not  been  solved 
in  his  presence.  Some  call  this  logic,  some  call 
it  reason,  but  it  is  neither,  because  satisfactory 
results  may  not  follow  the  use  of  these  quajlities. 
It  would  be  better  to  style  it  self-reliance  or  de- 
pendence upon  natural  "wit." 

I  do  not  believe  it  can  be  accurately  concluded 
that  this  "common  sense"  is  ever  inherent;  I 
am  strongly  of  the  belief  that  it  is,  after  all,  ac- 
quired through  experience.  Here,  the  impor- 
tant matter  for  consideration  is  to  find  out  how 
it  is  that  some  acquire  so  much  of  this  most 
valuable  knowledge  quite  early,  even  with  their 
first  impression.  If  it  is  environment  or  paren- 
tal excellence,  then,  for  the  love  of  coming  gen- 
erations, let  us  try  to  find  what  and  how  it  is, 
that  very  many  more  may  acquire  it.

I  do  not  want  to  be  hazy  about  this;  I  trust 
to  be  understood  and  as  saying  that  when  this 
quality  of  mind  is  found  lacking  in  a  student  or 
apprentice,  in  some  way  or  another,  it  rovfet  be 
supplied  to  him  and  if  he  can  not  acquire  it  by 
some  process  of  education,  then  he  must  be 
forced  out  of  Pharmacy's  domain  by  our  colleges 
or,  if  not  by  them,  by  our  boards.  Judging 
from  the  output  of  half  a  dozen  colleges,  I  am 
inclined  to  think  the  schools  have  not  been  able 
to  eliminate  this  fool-class  of  would  be  pharma- 
cists. To  do  this,  however,  is  fundamental  and 
we  must  not  be  satisfied;  we,  who  try  to  be  hon- 
orable and  true,  must  not  be  satisfied  unlil  we 
"nip  off"  these  entirely  impossible  buds  from 
the  pharmaceutical  bush,  farly,  before  they  even 
begin  to  open.  But  to  do  this  effectively,  we 
must  establish  a  just  and  thorough  test  for 
"buds."  I  wonder  if  it  will  ever  be  possible  to 
use  such  tests  in  un-endowed  schools  ? 

Another  peculiar  something  a  pharmacist  needs 
to  be  taught  is  to  be  dignified;  he  must  acquire 
true  dignity.  By  this,  I  mean  he  must  be  in- 
telligent enough,  careful  enough  and  honest 
enough  to  know  himself  and,  thus  knowing  him- 
self, he  must  be  so  well  equipped  as  to  win,  first, 
his  own  respect  and,  secondly,  the  respect  of 
those  who  really  and  truly  know  him. 

True  pharmaceutical  dignity,  then,  is  the  be- 
havior that  is  inspired  by  reksonable  self-respect 
and  by  the  generous  respect  of  those  with  whom 
we  come  in  contact  in  the  practice  of  our  pro- 
fession. Refinement  and  dignity  are  much  the 
saine  or  are,  at  least,  inseparable.  Both  are  the 
result  of  self-examination  and  self- instruction, 
ticquired  and  stimulated  by  comparing  onesself 
with  idealistic  standards  of  excellence;  when  he 
should  be  more  accurate  in  his  findings  and 
more  severe  in  his  requirements  than  he  is  in  his 
estimation  of  others. 

We  pharmacists  need,  probably  more  than  any 
thing  else,  to  be  cultured;  broadly  cultured.  I 
understand  culture  and  training  to  mean  much 
the  same.  I  do  not  believe  either  consists  en- 
tirely in  possessing  much  knowledge  of  the  clas- 
sics, of  higher  mathematics  or  of  many  modern 
languages.  All  these  contribute  to  culture,  but  I 
question  the  quality  of  anyone's  culture  when  he 
is  not  able  to  make  himself  easy  in  polite  so- 
ciety or  able  to  successfully  meet  the  require- 
ments of  higher  social   life,     The  appropriately 


cultured  person  is  always  conventional  and  it  is 
a  sad  spectacle  one  makes  who  is  conspicuous  be- 
cause of  oddities  tjiat  are  his. 

Standards  for  culture  may  be  selected  from 
those  persons  in  a  community  who  enjoy  univer- 
sal respect  and  from  those  who  are  prominent 
because  of  real  worth  and  because  they  really 
merit  the  position  they  occupy.  It  is  quite  easy 
to  separate  the  true  from  the  false,  in  any  com- 
munity and  thus  find  helpful  standards. 

Yet,  withal,  pharmacists,  like  all  men  who 
really  bear  the  image  of  the  creator,  need  to  be  or 
to  become  truly  romantic:  that  is,  able  and  will- 
ing to 'do  even  the  unusual,  if  that  is  necessary 
for  truth's  sake.  Romance  never  clashes  with 
the  conventional;  it  is  often  the  quality  that  en- 
ables us  to  be  conventional  at  the  sacrifice  of 
pride,  ambition  or  some  such  less  creditable  at- 
tribute of  our  nature.  We  are  romantic  when 
we  sacrifice  possible  gain,  gain  that  others 
do  not  hesitate  to  acquire,  because  we  will  not 
ignore  the  higher  ideals  of  our  vocation  and  it  is 
the  true  and  beautifully  romantic  spirit  that  en- 
ables us  to  resist  temptations,  to  do  the  right 
and  boldly  stand  for  the  nobler  and  more  useful 
forms  of  practice;  certainly,  that  form  which 
obeys  civil  law  and  fellows  the  leadings  of  the 
more  delicate  precepts  of  personal  righteousness. 

The  pharmacist  needs  to  be  taught  and  to  learn 
much  more  regarding  true  art ;  he  must,  indeed, 
become  more  artiste.  Probably,  such  knowledge 
is  really  a  part  of  general  culture;  certainly,  one 
may  be  neither  polite  nor  dignified  without  a 
fundamental  knowledge  of  art.  It  is  this  infor- 
mation that  will  make  him  able  to  appreciate 
real  values  and  it  is  this  same  knowledge  that 
will  lead  him  to  employ  durable,  appropriate  and 
useful  fixtures  and  appointments  in  the  prosecu- 
tion of  his  business.  Nothing,  it  is  believed, 
conduces  so  largely  to  the  doing  of  better  things, 
in  better  ways,  than  does  this  knowledge  of  true 
art.  It  inspires  its  possessor  with  the  desire  to 
present  the  higher  forms,  those  that  more  nearly 
approach  the  ideal.  The  real,  artistic  spirit  will 
guard  against  conimitting  vulgarities,  which  en- 
tirely counteract  tlie  helpful  influence  of  the 
highest  technical  aquirements. 

I  have  not  intended  to  convey  the  thought  that 
less  technical  knowledge  is  required.  I  would, 
however,  suggest  this,  in  case  it  be  found  neces- 
sary to  make  place  for  this  more  general  teaching.

I  am  confident,  because  of  what  I  have  heard 
so  many  times,  that  it  will  be  said  these  broader 
teachings  are  no  part  of  a  technical  training. 
Let  me  advise  that  I  have  not  attempted  to  dis- 
cuss the  technical  training  of  the  pharmacist  at 
all,  but  have  tried  to  show  what  I  believe  to  be 
his  greatest  educational  needs,  no  matter  where 
they  are  to  be  supplied,  and  I  am  trying  to  be  ex- 
tremely practical  by  calling  attention  to  the  fact 
that  there  is  annually  going  to  the  schools  of  phar- 
imacy  of  this  country,  as  has  certainly  been  the 
case  since  1876,  a  class  of  young  men  who  need 
and  have  needed  the  very  instruction  that  I  have 
suggested ;  needed  for  the  better  serving  of  the 
public,  for  the  greater  advancement  of  pharmacy 
and  general  betterment  of  themselves.  Do  not 
overlook  the  fact  that  it  is  this  kind  of  grist  that 
has  been  coming  and  that  contiriues  to  come  to 
the  pharmaceutical  mill.  I  believe  I  may  truly 
say  it  is  the  very  same  kind  that  will  continue  to 
come  for  years  and  years.  Therefore,  I  believe 
it  to  be  our  duty,  a  part  of  oiu-  work,  to  so  mod- 
ify our  mills  that  they  will  clean  this  grist  and 
prepare  it  for  the  final  finer  grinding.  Let  us 
take  it  as  we  find  it,  as  it  comes  to  us  and,  dur- 
ing a  preliminary  year,  blow  out  all  the  chaff, 
blow  it  forever  away,  while  cleaning  and  polish- 
ing the  sound  grain.  As  it  is,  we  are  mixing 
chaff  and  crudities  and  deficiencies  and  misfor- 
tunes all  together  with  results  that  are,  by  no 
means,  satisfactory  to  the  three  factors  most  in- 
terested, the  public,  the  employer  and  the  em- 
ployee. Secondary  schools  may  help  and  col- 
leges may  more  largely  assist,  but  while  these 
remain  such  uncertain  quantities  as  they  now 
most  certainly  are,  a  practical  preparatory  course 
in    the   schools   of  pharmacy    is  really  the  only

thing  that  will  supply,  out  of  the  material  at 
hand,  the  quality  and  quantity  of  pharmacists 
required  to  meet  present  day  demands. 
('  Gcsmmon  sense,  dignity,  culture,  are  the  pos- 
sessions; romani.ic,  artistic,  are  the  qualities! 
Is  there  a  successful  practical  pharmacist  within 
the  sound  of  my  voice  or  any  where  else,  who 
will  not  admit,  when  he  fully  understands  what 
these  mean,  that  they  are  more  essential  to  the 
really  helpful  assistant  than  is  all  the  strictly, 
technical  training  he  may  secure  at  the  best  of 
our  pharmaceutical  schools.  These  possessions 
and  qualities  make  up  the  advantages  that  it  has 
been  thought  result  from  "drug  store  expe- 
rience." It  is  very  true  that  when  this  so-called 
experience  gives  such  things,  it  is,  indeed,  most 
advantageous.  But  what  is  the  situation  when 
it  does  not  give  these,  but  instills  every  thing  that 
is  contrary,  what  then  ? 

Let  us  see,  just  for  a  moment,  what  these  pos- 
sessions and  these  qualities  mean.  Common 
sense,  I  believe,  means  no  more  than  ability  to 
properly  attack  a  problem.  When  a  clerk  goes 
at  a  thing  right,  we  know  how  valuable  he  is ; 
how  safe  he  is  and  how  much  he  will  accomplish. 
We  all  know  that  this  ability  does  not  come  from 
technical  training,  necessarily,  although  tech- 
nical training,  if  properly  directed,  will  greatly 
assist  in  its  development. 

Dignity  and  culture  make  the  successful  sales- 
man or  merchant;  they  claim  respect  and  in- 
spire confidence.  These,  assisted  by  artistic 
temperament  and  attainments,  make  an  invinci- 
ble combination  that  will  be  more  effective  in 
the  proprietor  than  it  is  in  the  assistant,  how- 
ever powerful  it  may  there  appear.  Carriage, 
manner,  conversation,  dress,  store,  stoqk,  uten- 
sils, labels,  advertisements,  everything  material 
that  is  worth  while,,  phouldL  come  undjer  the  bea- 
eficient  control  of  these:   djgnityt  culture,  art. 

It  is,  however,  the  romantic  spirit,  true  hero- 
ism, that  makes  up  the  character  and  shapes  the 
policies  of  the  business  and  the  business  man. 
Nothing  less  and  nothing  diff'erent  will  prove  ef- 
fective. Neither  fear  of  the  law  or  lust  for  gaiii 
will  be  powerful  enough.  Romance,  alone,  will 
bring  about  good  results;  love  it  is,  after  all, 
love  for  the  real,  the  true  and  the  good. 

And  so,  my  dear  friends,  with  the  material  at 
hand,  we  must  try  a  year  of  probation;  a  year 
of  tutoring  in   common  things,   that  are  really

higher  things ;  a  year  in  making  up  deficiencies 
and  in  smoothing  rough  surfaces;  a  year  in  re- 
fining, which  means  a  year  of  much  elimination, 
of  helpful  elimination.  Am  I  understood  ?  Tlwee 
years  ?  Yes,  hy  all  means,  but  be  very  careful 
that  there  is  no  more  of  the  technical  than  there 
is  now.  One  year  of  fundamental  preparation; 
one  year  devoted  to  making  and  finishing  mm; 
two  years  devoted  to  making  and  finishing  prac- 
tical, useful,  pharmacists. 


SEE  AMERICA  FIRST. 

FROM    BALTIMORE   TO    LOS    .^NGEr.ES. 

The  above  caption  has  become   a  popular  slo- 
gan   and  we  see  it  repeated  in  the  newspapers  and 
embazoned    on    bill    boards    along    many  of  the 
railway  lines  of  the  country.     It  is  a  truism  only 
in  a  restricted  sense,    as  it  depends  upon   what 
we    wish    to    see,    as    to    whether  we  should  see 
America  first  or  not.     First  or  last,    however, 
one  should  see  his  own  country  and  it  is  a  great 
satisfaction  to  the  writer  that  though  he  was  not 
able   to    see   America    first,    he  has  been  able  to 
traverse  a  large  portion  of  our  own  country  dur- 
ing  the  past  few  years.     The  opportunities  for 
distant  travel,  and  the  ease  and   comfort  in   ac- 
complishing long  journeys,  associated  with  a  cost 
that    is   not    excessive,    enable   one    to  satisfy  a 
craving  which  amounts  almost  to  a  passion   with 
many  of  us.  The  annual  meetings  of  the  American 
Medical  Association  occurring  now  on  the  Atlan- 
tic and  then  on  the  Pacific  coast,  or  alternating 
perhaps  between  the  Great  Lakes  and  the  Gulf, 
offer  line  the  opportunity  to  see  the  country  as 
well  as  to  keep   in   touch  with  medical  thought 
and  activity.  I  earnestly  commend  to  my  younger 
professional    brethren    the  many  pleasures   and 
advarita,ges  incident  to  attendance  on  the  annual 
meetiugs  of  the  great  American  Medical  Associa- 
tion.    This  year  the  annual    gathering  occurred 
ait  Los  Angeles,  California,  from  .June  26-30.     It 
is   a   long    step   from    Baltimore  to  Los  Angeles, 
about  3000  miles,   which   can   be  made   by   fast 
train  in  from  4  to  5  days,  or  by  fast  walkinr;,  as

in  the  case  of  Edward  Payson  Weston,    in  about 
70  days.     Not  being  good  on  the  walk,  your  cor- 
rspondent  took  a  fast  train.     It  is  said  that  the 
longest  way  'round  is  the  shortest  way  home,  cer- 
tainly the  route  taken  by  the  special  train  upon 
which  we  embarked  was  sufficiently  circuitous. 
I  left  home  on  .June    19th    by   the   Pennsylvania 
for    New   York,    passing  through  the  tube  under 
the  Hudson  River  into  the  beautiful  new  marble 
station    in    the   midst    of  the  city.     Our  special 
train  with  stateroom  coaches,    club   and    dining 
cars,    electrically    lighted   and  cooled  by  electric 
fans,  left  from  the  Grand  Central  Station,    and 
after  a  beautiful  moonlight  trip  up  the  Hundson, 
reached  Albany  about  10  o'clock,  where  several 
prominent  physicians  and  their  wives  joined  us, 
including  our  own  alumnus.  Prof.  Wm.  T.  Council- 
man,of  Harvard  Medical  School.  Thence  through 
Buffalo,  and  northern  New  York  in    the    night, 
reaching    the    shore    of  Lake   Erie    in    the  early 
morning,  and  Cleveland,  which  has  passed  Bal- 
timore  in   population  according  to  the  last  cen- 
sus, soon  thereafter.     From  Cleveland  to  Indian- 
apolis, and  thence  to  Saint  Louis,    where  we  ar- 
rived  in   the    evening,    is   a  little  over  24  hours 
from    New    York.     Parenthetically    I   may  say, 
that  the  most  unpleasant  part  of  our    long   jour- 
ney was  experienced  in  passing  through    Illinois 
on    June   20.     At  Saint  Louis  we  were  joined  by 
Drs.  Franklin  B.  Smith  and  Thomas  B.  Johnson, 
of  Frederick,    Md.,    which    completed  our  com- 
pany of  109  persons.     Missouri  was  traversed  in 
the  night  and  the  second  morning  out  found   us 
at  Kansas  City,  at  breakfast  tinae.     Through  the 
rolling  prairies  of  Kansas,  with  wheat  and  corn 
fields   extending   to    the  horizon,  and  but  sparse 
foliage,  we  passed  rapidly.     We  were   in   one   of 
the   great    agricultural  states,  and  the  neat  farm 
houses  and  huge  red  barns  attested  the  thrift  and 
prosperity  of  the  farmers.     As  the    western  part 
of  the    State    was    reached  the  country  appeared 
less   fertile,    the    plains   were  uncultivated,  and 
great    droves    of  horses   and    cattle    were   seen. 
Night  overtook  us  and  we  ran  through  the  south-

ern  part  of  Colorado  in  the  dark.  On  the  morn- 
ing of  the  third  day  we  were  in  New  Mexico  on 
the  Santa  Fe  trail.  Descending  from  the  more 
elevated  parts  of  Colorado,  \'i'e  reach  the  high 
plains  of  New  Mexico,  and  pass  through  a  coun- 
try which  has  had  a  historical  .past,  for  here 
were  settlements  and  communal  towns  before 
Columbus  discovered  the  western  world,  and 
here  the  conquering  Spaniard  carried  the  sword 
and  the  cross  as  early  as  1539.  New  Mexico  as 
seen  from  the  train  is  a  dry,  almost  desert  land, 
hot  in  the  daytime  but  cool  and  pleasant  at 
night.  On  the  horrizon,  and  often  near  at  hand, 
are  almost  bare  mounlains  showing  purple  in  the 
distance,  whilst  the  plains  are  covered  with  a 
scant  growth  of  sage  brush,  cacti  and  coarse 
grass.  There  are  deeply  excavated  water  courses 
often  dry  or  containing  only  a  tiny  stream,  but 
wherever  water  is  found  in  sufficient  quantities 
to  be  used  for  irrigating  the  arid  soil,  large  crops 
of  grain,  alfalfa  and  other  products  are  raised. 
Human  habitations  are  few  and  far  between  and 
consist  for  the  most  part  of  low  adobe  houses  in- 
habited by  Mexicans,  with  here  and  there  pu- 
eblos, or  communal  houses  of  several  stories, 
housing  at  times  large  villages  of  Indians.  New 
Mexico,  however,  is  at  the  parting  of  the  ways, 
and  new  ideas  and  new  conditions  are  crowding 
out  the  old,  though  at  present  both  exist  side  by 
side.  Thus  along  the  railroads  flourishing  towns, 
even  reaching  to  the  dignity  of  modern  cities, 
are  found  here  and  there;  as  Las  Vegas  with 
8000  population,  and  Albuquerque,  which  is  a 
much  larger  place.  At  all  important  places  there 
are  beautiful  and  commodious  railway  stations 
and  hotels,  at  which  the  weary  wayfarer  may  dis- 
embark and  find  good  cheer  and  rest.  Indeed 
all  trains  stop  sufficiently  long  to  enable  trav- 
ellers to  get  their  meals  in  comfort.  The-.main 
line  of  the  railroad  does  not  go  to  Santa  Fe, 
though  it  passes  within  a  few  miles  of  that  city, 
hence  I  did  not  have  the  opportunity  of  visiting 
it.  At  the  stations  along  the  line  Indians  flock 
to  the  train  to  sell  their  wares  to  the  voyagers.

means  a  very  attractive  object,  though  appearing

picturesque  at  a  distance.  He  appreciates  his 
own  value  and  will  not  permit  himself  to  be 
kodacked  until  he  gets  a  quid  pro  quo  in  the 
shape  of  a  coin.  The  women  seem  to  value  sil- 
ver coins  chiefly  as  ornaments  to  be  attached  to 
their  leggins.  At  Albuquerque  the  railroad 
crosses  the  Rio  Grande  on  a  long  bridge,  the 
river  being  a  shallow  insignificant  stream.  Not 
far  from  Albuquerque  is  the  Indian  village  La- 
guna,  which  is  a  pueblo  situated  on  a  high  rock 
and  commanding  an  extensive  view  of  the  sur- 
rounding plain.'  Several  hundred  Indians  live 
at  this  pueblo,  which  consists  of  houses  three 
stories  in  height,  the  upper  stories  being  reached 
by  long  ladders.  These  houses  are  built  around 
a  plaza  or  square  where  dances  and  other  cere- 
monies are  held,  and  where  we  had  a  ceremonial 
dance  given  in  our  honor,  in  exchange  for  a  few 
coins.  The  dance  was  not  interesting  and  in 
the  future  I  would  prefer  giving  a  coin  not  to 
see  it,  rather  than  to  witness  its  performance. 
The  houses  were  scrupulously  clean,  and  usually 
contained  a  bed,  iron  cooking  stove,  and  a  few 
simple  articles  of  funiture.  This  pueblo  has  been 
in  existence  for  centuries  and  was  doubtless  lo- 
cated at  this  point  on  account  of  its  defensibility. 
The  younger  Indians  are  being  educated  and  have 
adopted  civilized  dress  in  many  instances,  while 
the  older  ones  continue  to  wear  the  character- 
istic garb  of  their  race.  At  this  point  we  were  del- 
uged with  a  sudden  and  torrential  rain,  the  only 
time  we  had  to  seek  shelter  during  our  journey 
until  we  were  leaving  Colorado  Springs  upon, pur 
return.  We  were  unable  to  visit  some  petrified 
trees  on  account  of  this  rain.  Continuing  through 
New  Mexico  we  passed  into  Arizona  in  th^,  even- 
ing, and  much  to  our  surprise  found  it  necessary 
to  draw  our  blankets  over  us  at  night,  and  were 
too  cool  at  that.  We  had  ascended  several  thous- 
and feet  in  the  night  and  had  come  into  a  differ- 
ent climate.  At  5  o'clock  on  the  morning  of 
June  23rd  we  reached  the  Grand  Canyon  of  Ari. 
zona.  This  is  one  of  the  world's  wonders,  and 
is  unique.  It  is  an  immense  chasm  in  the  face 
of  the  earth,  217  miles  in  length,  13  miles  in 
width  opposite  the  El  Tevan  Hotel,  and  6000 
feet  in  depth,  and  through  its  floor  flows  the  Col- 
orado river  which  has  apparently  caused  the 
chasm  by  erosion.  The  walls  of  the  canyon  are 
almost  vertical  for  several  thousand  feet,  and 
there  are  but  few  places  at  which  a  descent  can 


118

be  made.  Within  the  canyon  are  fantastic  moun- 
tains and  deep  valleys  and  fissures  of  varying 
colors,  white,  grey,  yellow,  brownish  red  and 
black,  which  combining  with  the  green  valleys 
and  the  bluish  or  purplish  haze  which  overspreads 
the  scene,  especially  as  the  sun  comes  over  the 
crest  of  the  mountains,  and  \he  silver  thread  of 
the  river  at  the  bottom  of  the  cleft  seven  miles 
away,  form  a  vista  that  will  remain  indelibly 
impressed  upon  the  memory  as  long  as  life  and 
reason  last.  It  is  impossible  to  find  words  to 
describe  the  canyon,  it  is  rightly  called  grand; 
it  is  kaleidoscopic,  it  is  fantastic,  grotesque,  grim, 
appalling  and  beautiful.  We  spent  30  hours  at 
the  Grand  Canyon  and  on  the  morning  of  our 
departure  7  or  8  long  special  trains  from  Chicago 
rolled  in,  filled  with  Doctors  and  their  families, 
amongst  whom  were  Drs.  Hiram  Woods,  James 
J.  Carroll,  Wm.  H.  Welch  and  others  from  Balti- 
more. This  sudden  influx  of  visitors  almost 
swamped  the  hotel,  and  we  were  fortunate  to  have 
been  on  the  spot  before  the  great  crowd  arrived. 
Leaving  the  Canyon  on  June  24  we  rapidly  de- 
scended until  we  struck  the  main  line  at  Wil- 
liams, where  we  resumed  our  journey  to  the 
west.  The  town  of  Winslow  in  Arizona  appears 
to  be  quite  a  thriving  place.  I  tried  to  learn  for 
whom  the  tdwn  was  named  but  without  success; 
the  only  answer  I  received  to  ,  my  inquiry  was  ■ 
that  it  was  named  after  some  old  man  named 
Winslow.  The  route  westward  descended  rap- 
idly, and  we  continued  to  traverse  a  dry  and 
parched  country  until  we  reached  the  Colorado 
river  at  the  needles,  and  upon  crossing  the  river 
we  were  in  California.  The  town  of  Needles  is 
said  to  be  the  hottest  place  in  the  United  States, 
and  shortly  before  our  arival  the  thermometer 
registel-ed  117  degrees  in  the  shade.  It  was  not 
unpleasantly  hot  at  the  time  of  our  stop,  about 
6.30  p.  m.  We 'were  here  beset  by  a  lot  of  dirty 
Mojave  Indians,  barefooted  and  unwashed,  who 
offered  bead  necklaces  and  other  worthless  jim- 
cracks  for  sale.  Still  traversing  a  barren  coun- 
try we  continued  toward  Los  Angeles.  Early  in 
the  morning  of  June  25,   we   reached   the  fertile

and    highly   cultivated    San    Bernardino  Valley, 
with    its    teeming   orange   groves   and  beautiful 
flowers.     Soon  our  itrain  pulled  up  at  Red  lands, 
where  we  M^ere  met  by  physicians  and   citizens 
who  presented  us  with  luscious  fruit.     We  here 
enjoyed  a  ride  through  the  city  and  up  to  Smiley 
Heights.     20  years  ago  Redlands  was  a  barren 
waste,  now  it  is  as  a  garden  of  the  Lord  for  beauty. 
About  that  time  Albert  K.  Smiley,  a  fellow  alum- 
nus of  mine  of  Harverford  College,  whom  I  know, 
bought  a  tract  of  land  at  this  point,   introduced' 
water  and  converted  what  had  been  a  desert  into 
oranjge  groves  and  parks.     The  homes  here  and 
elsewhere  in  Southern  California  are  low  bunga- 
lows,   covered   with    beautiful    boganvilla  vines 
and  other  flowers,  and  surrounded  by  well  kept 
lawns  with  palms,  cacti,  pepper  trees,  eucalyp- 
tus,   acacia    and    other   foliage,   semi-tropical  in 
character  and  unknown  to  us  in  the  East.  Roses, 
geraniums  and  other  flowers  grow  in  profusion 
and  in  summer  and  winter  alike  add  a  blaze  of 
color  to  the  scene.     The  air  is  dry  and  bracing 
and  though  it  may  be  hot  in  the  middle   of  the 
day,  the  evenings  are  cool  and  pleasant.     Rain 
falls  during  two  months  of  the  year  and  during  the 
other  ten  months  one  does  not  have  to  carry  an 
umbrella.     The  chief  objection  to  the  climate  is 
the   fact   that    no    rain    falls   and  the  country  is 
almost  shoe  deep  in  dust.     Our  next  stop  was  at 
Riverside,  where  we  were   again    met   and    wel- 
comed by   the   citizens,  and  our  sections  on  the 
train  filled  with    beautiful   fruit.     We  here  had 
lunch  and  dinner  at  the  Glen  wood  Mission  Inn, 
a  really  remarkable  hostelry,    with  its  chime   of 
bells,  wonderful  organ,  picture  gallery  and  many 
curios,  to  say  nothing  of  the  beautiful    building 
and  excellent  fare  and  service.     We  were  taken 
in    automobiles    on    a    17    mile    drive  through 
orange   groves,    that   extended    as   far   as  vision 
reached.     At  this   place   also  was   a   botanical 
garden   containing  many  rare   plants  and  trees, 
and  a  collection  of  cacti  of  all  varieties,  perhaps 
150  in  number.     Palms  of  many  varieties  were 
also  seen  lining  the  avenues  and  drives  of  the 
city  and  country.     We  were  in  the  heart  of  the 
citrus   section  of  California,   and  from  this  re- 
gion most  of  the  oranges  are  shipped.     Leaving 
Riverside  about   6  o'clock  we  reached  Los  Ange- 
les at  9.30,  and  our  journey  across  the  continent 
had  been  completed.

{Continued  from  p.  107). 

There  has  been  a  disease  lately^mong  children 
similar  to  what  has  been  called  canker.  It  affects 
children  only  from  one  to  three  years  old.  The 
little  ulcerations  are  from  the  lips  inwards,  on 
the  tongue,  fauces  and  probably  down  the  intes- 
tinal canal  as  they  were  sometimes  attended  by 
a  diarrhoea.  This  disease  was  cured  by  a  weak 
solution  of  muriatic  acid  in  water,  to  which,  to 
please  the  the  good  women,  honey  was  added. 
Sometimes  the  acid  was  dissolved  in  sage  tea — 
one  of  their  favorite  nostrums.  The  parotids 
were  much  affected  in  some  cases,  as  well  as  the 
sabmaxilary  and  sublingual  glands.  When  the 
glands  appeared  considerably  tumefied,  the  dis- 
ease seemed  to  be  benefitted  by  purges  and  in 
some  instances  emetics  performed  a  perfect  cure. 

June  4,  1800.  Called  to  several  cases  of  pleu- 
risy, with  cough  and  spitting  of- blood,  which 
he  attributes  to  a  sudden  fall  of  the  temperature 
10°  and  the  change  of  clothing.  The  diseases 
prevailing  are  mostly  afli'ections  of  the  breast, 
which  are  very  inflammatorj'  and  universally  at- 
tended with  a  spitting  of  blood.  "I  never  saw 
such  a  disposition  to  haemorrhage  so  early  in  the 
season.  I  am  afraid  it  portends  no  good  to  our 
city." 

14th.  Some  cases  of  bilious  fever.  Purging 
often  cures,  but  bleeding  in  some  instances  nec- 
essary. 

20th.  A  great  number  of  diarrhoeas,  dysente- 
ries and  intermittents.  They  all  proceed  from 
the  same  cause  or  rather  are  the  same  disease, 
only  affecting  different  parts.  Pain  in  the  limbs 
attends  them  all,  which  is  charaeteriscic  of  bil- 
ious fever.  All  are  cured  by  evacuating  remedies. 

26th.  An  alarm  raised  at  the  Point  on  account 
of  death  of  Mrs.  Wilson  from  yellow  fever, 
although  there  have  been  such  deaths  now  and 
then  since  March.  Miss  Stump,  of  Harford,  died 
of  the  same  disease. 

July  3.  Went  to  see  Jonah  Thomas  with  Dr. 
Archer,  but  he  died  before  I  reached  him.  He  had 
black  vomit  and  was  covered  with  carbuncles. 
Saw  a  child  with  Dr.  Moores  in  the  natural 
smallpox.  It  had  haemorrhages  from  its  eyes, 
although  it  had  the  disease  very  moderately. 

8th.  Saw  a  man  who,  after  having  a  tooth 
extracted,  bled  incessantly  for  twelve  hours. 


9th.  The  child  I  saw  with  Dr.  Moores  with 
haemorrhages  died. 

11th.  Visited  several  negroes  in  bilious  fever, 
with  swelled  feet  and  legs.  It  always  diminished 
or  disappeared  after  bleeding. 

13th.  The  miasmata  excite  many  old  predis- 
positions into  di?ease,  such  as  predisposition  to 
piles,  cough,  etc. 

21st.  Bleeding  and  purging  as  necessary  \,o 
the  removal  of  bilious  diseases  as  any  disease 
he  ever  saw.  Mr.  Knox  and  his  wife  died  of 
yellow  fever  at  Fell's  Point. 

24th.     An  eruptive  disease,  not  known  bj'  any 

of  the  nosological  names,  has   lately   been   very 

rife   among   children,    but    in    many    instances 

among    adults.     It    is    accompanied    by  large 

blotches  which  first  rise  above  the  skin  and  after 

a  day  or  two  become  sores.     It  is  more  common 

among    negroes    and    the    good    women  call  it 

"swine-pox."    {To  he  continued).

"It  is  immensely, gratifying  that  our  country 
has  been  able  to  furnish  to  the  world  the  most 
striking  example  in  the  history  of  preventive 
mediciue,  of  the  conquest  of  a  great  scourge  by 
the  extirpation  of  yellow  fever  through  the  dis- 
coveries of  Reed,  Carroll  and  their  colleagues  of 
the  Army  yellow  fever  commission  and  the  prac-

BALTIMORE,  AUG-SEPT.,  1911. 

HISTORIC  CHARLES  TOWN. 

To  go  back  to  one's  native  town  after  thirty- 
four  years  absence  is  not  a  common  experience. 
Indeed  I  may  claim  a  longer  interval  than  that, 
for  it  had  been  forty-fonr  years  since  I  left  there 
to  enter  upon  my  last  course  of  lectures  in  the 
University,  and  during  the  succeeding  ten  years  I 
had  made  only  four  flying  visits  to  attend  the 
funerals  of  members  of  my  family. 

Naturally,  there  were  many  changes.  The 
town  has  grown  in  every  direction  and  a  new 
town,  Ranson — named,  by  the  way,  after  the 
family  of  our  fellow  alumni,  Drs.  B.  B.  Ranson, 
Sr.  and  Jr. — has  sprung  up  to  the  north  of  the 
old  Winchester  and  Potomac  Railroad.  There 
are  many  beautiful  homes  surrounded  by  exten- 
sive grounds,  and  so  abundant  are  the  trees, 
vines  and  shrubbery,  that  the  place,  or  a  large 
part  of  it,  seems  to  be  embowered  in  an  extensive 
grove.  There  are  two  railroads  and  the  streets 
and  houses  are  lit  by  electricity.    Many  familiar 


places  have  disappeared,  the  Carter  House  of  an- 
tebellum days,  the  Methodist  Church,  the  stores, 
the  pumps,  but  "Hull's  pump,"  at  the  lower  end 
of  town,  continues  to  dispense  its  delicious  water 
to  the  inhabitants  as  in  days  of  yore.  The  Acad- 
emy building  still  stands  but  appears  to  be  un- 
used. There  was  hardly  an  inch  of  ground  that 
was  not  associated  in  some  way  with  my  early 
years. 

Nothing  had  for  me  greater  fascination  than  the 
graveyard  of  the  Episcopal  Church,  where  re- 
pose the  remains  of  so  many  of  my  relatives  and 
friends.  Here  are  the  graves  of  Col.  John  A. 
Washington,  the  former  owner  of  Mt.  Vernon, 
of  John  Y.  Beall,  executed  as  a  Confederate  spy, 
of  my  uncle,  killed  by  John  Brown's  men  at 
Harper's  Ferry  and  of  his  sister  who  became  in- 
sane from  grief  over  his  death,  of  gallant  Con- 
federate soldiers.  One  slab  commemmorates  a 
soldier  of  the  revolution ,  another  was  sacred  to  the 
memory  of  "Britannia  America  Rooker."  Here 
is  a  whole  family  wiped  out  by  consumption.  On 
this  stone  I  sat  on  Sunday  evenings  reading  "Par- 
adise Lost." 

Charles  Town  abounds  in  historic  associations. 
The  country  around  was  settled  by  three  brothers 
of  Washington  and  the  town  was  named  from 
Charles  Washington,  one  of  them  who  founded 
it.  Their  names  are  commemorated  in  the 
streets  of  the  town,  the  main  avenue  of  which  is 
Washington  street,  while  the  cross  streets  bear 
their  christian  names,  Charles,  George,  Samuel, 
Mildred,  Lawrence,  etc.  Their  homes  also  are 
still  standing — "Harewood,"  "Mordington"  and 
"Blakeley."  The  first-named  is  celebrated  for 
the  mantel  which  Lafayette  gave  to  Washington 
and  also  for  the  marriage  there  of  the  beautiful 
Dolly  Madison,  wife  of  President  Madison.  The 
descendents  of  these  earlier  Washingtons  are 
numerous  and  they  stand  high  in  the  esteem  of 
the  community. 

The  trial  and  execution  of  John  Brown  and 
his  followers  in  October  1859  gave  the  town  a 
world-wide  notoriety.  But  a  few  feet  from  my 
boarding  house  was  the  site  of  the  gallows  upon 
which  they  were  executed. 

It  was  in  the  midst  of  the  exciting  events  of 
the  Civil  War  and  was  alternately  in  the  hands 
of  first  one  side,  then  the  other  ;  it  was  noted  for 
its  devotion  to  the  Southern  cause. 

It  seems  needless  to  say  that  I  enjoyed  every

moment  of  my  stay.  I  lived  in  the  past  and  the 
streets  were  peopled  by  the  friends  of  my  youth, 
the  gay,  laughing  companions  of  half  a  century 
and  more  ago.  The  aged  and  sometimes  bent 
forms  that  I  met  seemed  to  be  of  another  genera- 
tion and  they  could  not  take  the  place  of  the 
faces  that  were  impressed  upon  my  memory. 
Communing  thus  with  visions  of  the  past,  as  I 
gazed  out  of  the  window  of  my  room  upon  the 
beautiful  Blue  Ridge  stretched  before  me  in  all 
its  charms,  I  could  not  but  think  how  soon  we 
shall  "glide  down  to  the  sea  of  fathomless  eter- 
nity" and  be  forgotten.

Rt.  Rev.  Luther  B.  Wilson,  "11,  of  the  M.  E. 
Church,  reached  Baltimore  Sept.  4,  after  an  ab- 
sence of  nine  months.  He  has  entirely  recover- 
ed from  the  severe  attack  of  African  fever  which 
he  contracted  in  British  East  Africa  in  May  and 
from  which  he  suffered  for  ten  weeks. 

A  Committee  of  the  Baltimore  County  Medi- 
cal Association  has  been  appointed  to  raise  funds 
to  procure  a  portrait  of  Dr.  James  H.  jarrdt,  of 
Towson,  Md.  The  portrait  will  cost  1250  and  it 
will  be  presented  to  the  Medical  and  Ohirurgical 
Faculty  of  Maryland  to  be  hung  in  its  hall.  Dr. 
Jarrett  has  been  practicing  for  57  years  and  this 
effort  to  honor  him  should  appeal  to  the  alumni 
of  this  University  where  he  graduated  in  1854. 
Dr.  Wm.  J.  Todd,  of  Mt.  Washington,  Md., 
is  Chairman  of  the  Committee  and  all  those  de- 
siring to  subscribe  may  send  their  contributions 
to  him.

An  item  from  Washington  states  that  the  Bu- 
reau of  Education  is  preparing  a  classification  of 
all  the  universities  and  colleges  in  the  country  in  the 
order  of  their  merit.  The  chief  object  in  view  is 
to  indicate  to  prospective  students  where  they 
can  obtain  education  and  degrees  that  have  real 
value.  Such  a  publication  will  be  of  great  ser- 
vice for  there  are  many  unworthy  institutions 
seeking  the  patronage  of  students,  who  have  no 
means  of  judging  which  are  meritorious  and 
which  not.  Coming  too  with  the  authority  of 
the  government  it  will  possess  an  official  sanction 
not  otherwise  obtainable.  We  welcome  every 
effort  at  improvement  and  elevation  of  the 
standard. 


All  the  members  of  the  General  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation will  rejoice  in  the  honor  which  has  been 
done  it  in  the  appointment,  by  the  Governor  to 
the  Supreme  Bench  of  Baltimore  of  their  genial 
President — Mr.  Walter  I.  Daiokivs.  Mr.  Dawkins 
was  born  in  St.  Mary's  Co.,  Md.,  on  Oct.  21, 
1858  and  was  graduated  A.B.,  at  St.  John'sCol- 
lege  in  1880.  The  Sun  says  of  him:  "Mr. 
Dawkins  has  a  fine  record  at  the  bar;  he  is  a 
lawyer  of  ability  and  high  character."  He 
qualified  on  Sept.  2.  Judge  Dawkins  is  the  nom- 
inee of  the  Democratic  party  for  the  position 
which  he  now  holds,  having  been  elected  at  the 
primaries  on  Aug.  29.  We  trust  that  the  peo- 
ple will  sanction  the  Governor's  choice  at  the 
ensuing  general  election. 


According  to  the  official  Summary  of  Results 
of  the  June  Medical  Examinations,  33  graduates 
completed  their  final  examinations  and  secured 
the  much  coveted  license  to  practice,  and  3  failed 
to  obtain  the  75  p.  c.  required.  The  table  con- 
tains 173  candidates,  including  primary,  second- 
ary and  incomplete  examinations  and  7  who 
"failed  to  appear."

By  a  regulation  recently  adopted  by  the  Board 
of  Regents  of  the  University  of  Neio  York  only  those 
schools  of  medicine  will  hereafter  be  registered 
by  that  body  which  shall  "by  Oct.  1,  1912  have 
at  least  six  full-time  salaried  instructors  giving 
their  entire  time  to  medical  work."     And  the

revised  handbook  to  be  issued  by  the  department 
in  June  1912  "will  contain  under  the  registered 
medical  schools  in  each  State  only  those  institu- 
that  will  conform  to  the  above  requirements,,'), 

In  answering  the  communication  conveying 
the  above  information,  Professor  R.  Dorsey  Coale, 
Dean  of  our  School  of  Medicine,  wrote:  "We 
hope  and  confidently  expect,  that  by  the  open- 
ing of  the  session  of  1912-13,  the  time  stated  in 
your  letter,  we  will  be  prepared  to  conform  to 
the  requirements  of  the  Board  of  Regents  in  the 
matter  of  the  six  fuUtime,  salaried  instructors." 

Professor  Randolph  Winslow  writing  of  this 
matter  in  the  Hospital  Bulletin,  for  August,  says: 
"For  some  time  the  writer  has  insisted  that  the 
die  was  cast  and  that  medical  schools  would  soon 
be  required  to  have  at  least  five  full-time,  salaried 
instructors  in  the  laboratories  and  scientific 
branches.  It  was  not  thought,  however,  that 
this  requirement  would  become  effective  for  sev- 
eral years.  We  had  not  read  the  handwriting 
on  the  wall  aright.  We  are  now  face  to  face 
with  an  imperative  order  to  supply  six,  not  five, 
full-time,  salaried  instructors  by  October  1,  1912. 
The  command  admits  of  no  argument,  we  must 
comply  or  lose  our  New  York  registry.  We  can- 
not afford  to  do  this  and  the  order  must  be 
obeyed.  Moreover,  the  various  educational  boards 
and  associations  are  going  to  make  the  same 
ruling  within  two  years.  The  gist  of  the  matter 
is  this :  the  medical  school  of  the  University  of 
Maryland  must  get  on  an  endowment  basis  or 
clo"pe  its  doors  after  a  successful  and  honorable 
career  of  more  than  100  years.  Fellow  Alumni, 
which  do  you  prefer — to  see  your  alma  mater  go 
out  of  existence,  or  to  help  us  in  the  effort  we 
are  making  to  raise  funds  in  order  that  we   may 


survive

Professor  Winslow  is  ttbt  arf  alarmist,  he  is  a 
man  of  calm,  judicial  mind  and  the  utmost  de- 
liberateness,  and  he  has  presented  to  us  in  naked 
truth  the  crisis  that  is  impending  over  us.  We 
must  act  and  speedily.  Will  our  alumni,  can 
they,  ignore  the  call?      If  ever  duty  called  it  is 

now!

A  fine  editorial  appears  in  the  Hospital  Bulletin 
for  August,  urging  that  a  strong  and  united  ef- 
fort be  made  to  secure  aid  from  the  State  for  the 
Univerijity.  No  one  can  read  it  without  being 
convinced  that  we  are  neglecting  an  important — 
an  urgent  duty,  in  not  attending  to  this  matter. 
All  should  peruse  it  and  we  only  regret  that  we 
cannot  give  it  in  full.  Here  is  one  extract:  "We 
can  go  on  as  we  are  now  doing,  and  year  after 
year  individuals  must  pay  the  price  of  our  pride, 
while,  on  the  other  hand,  an  earnest  appeal  with 
a  truthful  statement  backed  up  by  proofs  of  the 
exact  financial  needs  of  the  University,  presented 
publicly  and  forced  upon  the  knowledge  of  Mary- 
land legislators  by  worthy  representatives  of  the 
school,  cannot  but  secure  the  desired  end."

Dear  Doctor: 

I  send  herewith  a  few  notes  which  I  hope  it 
will  not  be  too  late  to  insert  in  this  month's  is-

are  not  more. 

I  hope  you  are  feeling  well.  I  am  sure  the

My  dear  Dr.  Cordell: 

With  considerable  regret  I  enclose  my  last 
notes  for  your  August  publication.  It  has  sure 
been  a  pleasuic  to  do  what  little  I  have  done  for 
you  and  the  University.  I  have  written  Mr. 
Ralph  Broadrup,  Cumberland,  Md.,  that  he  will 
hear  from  you  about  the  middle  of  August. 
With  best  wishes,  I  remain,  sir, 
Very  respectfully,

Baltimore, 
My  dear  Eugene : 

I  presume  I  am  indebted  to  you  for  several 
copies  of  "Old  Maryland"  as  I  observe  that  you 
are  the  "Editor."  I  have  read  all  of  your  arti- 
cles I  have  had  access  to  and  am  much  interested 
in  all  from  your  pen.  Particularly  is  this  the 
case  with  your  account  of  the  "so-called  battle 
of  Lynchburg."  I  commend  you  for  your  very 
accurate  account  of  the  happenings  leading  upt'b 
it  and  of  the  skirmish  itself,  I  don't  think  it  de- 
serves to  be  called  a  battle.  Several  very  inac- 
curate accoun  s  have  been  published  as  I  know, 
as  I  was  on  Hospital  duty  here  at  the  time,  alid 
was  all  over  the  field  the  day  after  the  fight.  I 
expressed  my  opinion  about  the  faulty  publica- 
tions once  in  talking  io  Maj.  Daniel;  He  asked 
me  to  write  out  ^3^  reccollections  which  he  wantr 
ed  for  "The  Battles  in  Virginia"  which  he  was 
preparing.  After  frequent  solicitations  I  con- 
sented. I  do  not  know  what  the  Major  did  with 
the  type  written  account  I  sent  him,  but  I  have 
a  copy  of  it  which  has  never  been  published.  I 
propose  to  leave  this  to  those  who  come  after 
me,  and  if  they  choose  to  publish  it  when 
I  am  gone  they  can  do  so.  I  am  only  say- 
ing all  this  to  accentuate  the  fact  that  1 
have  had  ample  opportunity  to  know  that  your

OLD  MARYLAND. 


account  of  the  so-called  battle  of  Lynchburg  is 
excellent.  I  trust  you  will  some  day  publish  iu 
book  form  "Recollections  of  Slave  Days  and  War 
times"  and  I  authorize  you  now  to  put  me  down 
as  a  subscriber  just  as  I  have  to  Major  Daniel's 
book  in  press  by  his  son. 

Of  course  you  recall,  that  today  marks  fifty 
years  since  the  iirst  Manassas  was  fought.  I 
was  present  on  that  bloody  field  and  many  of 
your  boyhood  friends  and  mine  were  maimed  and 
killed  then.  Your  father  and  mother  and  two 
brothers  were  living  then.  My  father  and  mother 
and  five  brothers  were  living  then,  all  gone  now 
except  you  and  me  and  my  brother  James  who  is 
failing  rapidly.  I  recall  very  distinctly  the  last 
time  I  saw  you.  You  were  sitting  on  a  porch  on 
Eutaw  Street  I  think,  just  above  the  Hotel.  I 
stopped  and  we  passed  a  few  words,  and  I  do  not 
recall  seeing  you  since.  This  was  in  1^67.  I 
had  the  pleasure  of  meeting  your  son  some  years 
ago  (I  recognized  him  by  his  resemblance  to  his 
father)  and  we  talked  over  many  events  of  the 
long  ago. 

Excuse  me  for  writing  so  much,  but  I  am  so 
glad  to  hear  from  you.  I  have  all  my  life  taken 
and  read  the  Sun  and  it  always  iriterests  me  to 
see  your  name  sometimes  in  its  columns.  If  you 
should  ever  come  this  way,  a  warm  welcome 
awaits  you  at  my  house.  You  may  not  know, 
but  your  father  was  with  my  mother  when  I  was 
born  (nearly  71  years  ago). 

Your  friend  and  Comrade, 

E.  A.  CrAighill.

Dear  Dr.  Cordell: 

Enclosed  find  my  check  for  $20,  in  payment 
of  my  final  subscription  to  Endowment  Fund  of 
University.  Please  send  me  receipt  in  full.  I 
trust  the  good  work  is  coming  surely,  if  slowly, 
and  only  wish  it  were  in  my  power  to  send  you 
a  check  for  $1000,  as  I  flatter  and  congratulate 
myself  that   1    am    one  of  the  loyal  sons  of  the 

old  school. 

Very  sincerely  and  truly  yours, 

Guy  Steele.

Balti.more,  Sept.  7,  1911. 
Dear  Sir : 

I  wish  to  correct  the  statement  with  reference 
to    "The   Introduction   of  the  Ophthalmoscope 


into  this  Coimtry,"  made  by  Dr.  A:  D.  Williams, 
of  Bedford,  Indiana,  in  the  Journal  of  July  29, 
1911,  p.  408.  The  credit  is  due  to  neither  Dr. 
E.  Williams,  ol^ Cincinnati,  in  1855,  nor  to  Dr. 
Herman  Knapp,  of  New  York,  in  1868.  In  the 
Transactions  of  the  Medical  and  Chirurgical  Faculty 
of  Mnri/land  for  1854,  there  is  a  report  upon  the 
instrument  by  Dr.  Christopher  Johnston,  of  this 
city  then  recently  returned  from  a  prolonged  stay 
in  Europe.  In  this  he  describes  the  instrument 
whose  uses  he  had  studied  in  Berlin  with  Von 
Graefe  and  in  Paris  with  Desmarres;  also  in 
Baltimore  with  Dr.  George  W.  Miltenberger. 
He  refers  to  the  various  forms  of  the  instrument 
(Helmholtz,  Czermak,  etc.),  and  to  improve- 
ments made  by  von  Graefe  and  others.  He  fully 
concurs  in  the  expressions  of  delight  with  which 
otliers  had  received  it.  The  report  was  presented 
at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Faculty  held  on 
June  7  and  is  illustrated.  Until  further  proof, 
therefore,  the  credit  must  be  given  to  Dr.  John- 
ston, who  was  a  man  of  the  highest  scientific 
acquirements.  I  may  add  that  the  paper  by  W. 
R.  Sanders  in  the  Am.  Jl.  of  Med.  Sci.,  July  1853, 
copied  from  the  J/o/!^/).^)/  Jl.  nf  Med.  Sri.,  July 
1852,  is  almost  a  literal  translation  of  Helmholtz's 
original  tract . 

Yours  truly, 

Eugene  F.  Ookdbll,  M.  D.

My  horse  received  a  fatal  wound  and  I  a  slight

and  daily  companionship,  to  the  roadside  where 
she  laid  down  on  the  green  turf.  Her  breathing 
too  plainlj'  indicated  that  death  was  near.  As

The  Representative  Avthors  of  Maryland  from  the 
Earliest  Time  to  the  Present  Day,  with  Biographical 
Notes  and  Comments  wpon  their  Worl;.  By  Henry 
E.  Shepherd,  M.  A.,  L.  L.  D.  N.  Y.,  1911. 

In  this  work  of  234  pages.  Dr.  Shepherd  en- 
deavors to  present  an  outline  of  the  literature  of 
Maryland  as  illustrated  in  the  work  of  her  repre-- 
sentative  authors.  It  had  its  origin  in  the 
"Maryland  Society  for  the  Prcmiotion  of  Litera- 
ture"' and  ils  suggestion  constitutes  the  sole 
accomplishment  of  that  promising,  but  short-lived 
body  (See  Old  Maryland,  Nov.  1909,  p.  121.) 
The  total  number  of  names  included  in  the  vol- 
ume is  284,  occupying  a  space  from  13  pages 
(Lanier)  to  mere  mention.  Dr.  Shepherd  has 
exhibited  the  utmost  liberality  in  the  admission  of 
authors  and  his  notices  of  them  are  uniformly 
kind  and, sympathetic.  There  are  illustrations  of 
Poe,  Randall,  Lanier  and  F.  Hopkinson  Smith 
(frontispiece).  This  is  the  first  attempt  to  bring 
Maryland  authors  into  one  volume,  and  it  de- 
serves appreciiUion  and  success.  In  its  accom- 
plishment Dr.  Shepherd  has  rendered  a  great  ser- 
vice to  the  community.  With  his  skilful  and 
eloquent  pen  he  has  traced  the  growth  and  pro-

THE  FLAG  OF  OUR  SOUTHLAND. 

By  Miss  Ruth  Howell  Brown. 

(Read  at  the  annual  reunion  of  Confederates  held  at 
Charles  Toivn,  W.  Va.,  Aug.  17,  1911). 
Gently  fold  this  faded  treasure, 

Riddled,  stained  and  battle  worn, 
Memories  sacred  round  it  cluster. 

Memories  of  a  nation  torn ; 
Rent  by  passion,  fierce,  relentless, 

Grey  and  Blue  in  deadly  strife, 
Till  by  mightier  forces  vanquished. 

Cause  and  flag  pass  out  of  life. 

Hearts  there  are  o'er  all  our  Southland, 

Ever  loyal,  brave  and  true; 
Where  devotion's  flame  burns  brightly 

For  the  Gray,  but  not  the  Blue. 
Ne'er  can  we  forget  our  soldiers. 

Brave  defenders  of  the  home, 
"While  our  harps  hang  on  the  willows, 

Prayers  ascend  where'er  they  roam. 

Though  our  banner  now  be  conquered, 

Though  the  colors  trail  in  dust. 
The  Arm  of  the  Lord  defends  us, 

In  his  promise  is  our  trust. 
What  though  human  might  prevaileth, 

Out  from  darkness  God  brings  light; 
Man  may  wreck  hope's  choicest  treasure, 

God  and  Heaven  are  with  the  right.  *

NOTE  BOOK  OF  DR.  POTTER. 

{Continued  from  p.  119). 

July  28  (1800).  Uncommonly  healthy.  There 
seems  to  be  a  calm  in  the  causes  of  disease  such 
as  often  happens  just  before  very  sickly  seasons. 

August  1.  Some  cases  of  bilious  fever;  cured 
by  bleeding  and  purging. 

Aug.  5.  Bilious  fever  and  its  other  forms, 
diarrhoea  and  dysentery,  very  rife;  sometimes 
kill  in  24  hours — in  the  bilious  form.  Almost 
every  bilious  case  has  an  affection  of  the  breast, 
more  or  less,  and  one  of  the  most  common  modes 


of  attack  is  a  cold  for  three  or  four  days  and 
then  an  ague  succeeded  by  a  fever,  which  remits 
or  assumes  a  nearly  continued  form.  At  the 
same  time  cholera  infantum — another  form — is 
very  rife.  Cured  it  by  bleeding  and  purging  just 
as  would  yellow  fever  in  adults.  In  some  fami- 
lies the  father  and  mother  had  yellow  fever 
while  the  children  had  cholera.  Calomel,  given 
repeatedly  in  small  doses,  was  continued  until 
all  the  green  stools  passed  away.  As  soon  as  the 
stools  appeared  natural,  the  child  began  to  re- 
cover. Gave  the  calomel  without  opium ;  indeed 
where  there  is  fever  and  especially  where  it  is  ac- 
companied by  a  disposition  to  affections  of  head, 
opium  must  do  harm. 

Aug.  7.  The  violent  cases  of  bilious  are  at- 
tended with  a  puking  of  water  or  frothy  matter 
from  the  stomach  about  the  third  day.  Frequent 
sighing,  frequeat  complaint  of  chills  running 
over  them,  as  they  express  it.  Frequent  long 
yawnings  so  that  you  would  think  they  never  in- 
tended to  shut  their  mouths  again.  Constant 
jactitatio  or  throwing  themselves  about.  Puking 
when  anything  is  taken  into  the  stomach,  ex- 
cept calomel  or  castor  oil,  which  generally  lies 
well.  Mr.  R.  Fisher  took  100  grains  of  calomel 
and  two  oz.  castor  oil,  with  five  glysters,  before 
he  had  a  passage.  Castor  oil  seldom  fails  to 
open  the  bowels  if  repeated — a  tablespoonful 
every  hour.  Glysters  of  Glauber's  Salts,  i  ounce 
every  hour,  often  succeeded  and  when  they  did 
not  the  oil  did.  The  oil  calms  the  turbulent 
motions  of  the  stomach  and  perfectly  relieves  the 
vomiting  and  soreness.  It  is  a  favorable  sign 
when,  after  green  or  black  stools,  yellow  stools 
appear,  either  alone  or  mixed.  The  calomel  sel- 
dom puked  up.  Sometimes  at  first  they  cast  up 
a  little  bile,  but  afterwards  generally  what  has 
been  taken  into  the  stomach  recently.  In  some 
instances  the  tongue  is  of  a  shining  appearance,

like  fresh  cut  lead,  but  after  the  5th  day  it  be- 
came dark  brown  and  dry.  Physicians  are  often 
very  solicitous  that  nourishment  be  taken  in  this 
disease  even  when  there  is  a  salivation.  If  there 
be  any  remains  of  the  fever,  no  nourishment  can 
be  proper,  and  if  there  be  a  salivation,  there  can 
be  no  necessity  for  food  as  the  mercurial  stimu- 
lus will  be  sufficient  to  support  the  patient.  The 
vulgar  idea  that  a  man  must  starve  under  all 
circumstances  if  he  don't  eat,  is  absurd. 

Here  the  diary  ends.  It  is  likely  that  the  ter- 
rible yellow  fever  epidemic  which  succeeded  and 
which  within  a  few  weeks  caused  1200  deaths 
occupied  all  his  time  and  attention.  See  Medical 
Annals  of  Maryland,  p.  37.  Shice  writing  this  I 
note  that  in  his  work  on  "Contagion,"  1817,  Dr. 
Potter  says  that  he  had  a  severe  attack  of  yellow 
fever  in  Sept.,  1800.  Also  that  he  had  milder 
attacks  while  in  Phila.  in  Aug.  1795,  and  July, 
1796,  for  which  he  was  treated  by  Rush. 

In  closing  these  articles  which  began  last  No- 
vember, we  may  recall  with  interest  the  facts  set 
forth.  Dr.  Potter  was  at  this  time  thirty  years 
old,  that  is,  in  the  full  vigor  of  early  manhood. 
He  had  had  the  best  medical  training  of  the  day 
and  had  enjoyed  a  long  and  intimate  association 
with  the  great  Rush,  the  leading  physician  of  his 
time.  He  followed  closely  in  the  footsteps  of 
his  teacher,  with  whom  venesection  was  the  great 
remedy  and  drastic  purgatives,  emetics  and  mer- 
curial salivation  were  necessary  adjuvants.  We 
find  Rush  bleeding  for  cirrhosis  of  the  liver, 
rheumatism,  typhoid  fever,  intermittent  fever, 
anasarca,  consumption,  erysipelas  and  epilepsy; 
Potter  adds  to  the  list  catarrh,  yellow  fever,  bil- 
ious fever,  ophthalmia,  cholera  infantum  and 
threatened  miscarriage.  The  inflammatory  di- 
athesis prevailed  and  it  required  vigorous  anti- 
phlogistic treatment.  The  pulse  was  irritable, 
hard,  tense,  tight,  and  it  had  to  be  "subdued," 
its  action  must  be  reduced.  His  reliance  there- 
fore was  upon  frequent  and  copious  venesections, 
excessive  and  violent  purgation  and  large  use  of 
mercury  with  a  view  to  salivation.  The  more 
malignant  the  disease,  the  more  powerful  the 
remedies  required.  Disease  is  a  process  accom- 
panied by  the  operation  of  constant  stimuli  and 
there  was  a  continual  fight  to  counteract  these. 

Dr.  Potter  believed,  like  Rush,  in  the  unity 
of  disease.  Yellow  fever,  bilious  fever,  dysentery, 
pleurisy,  etc.,  are  essentially  one  and  the  same. 


the  apparent  variations  being  due  to  differences 
in  location,  age,  environment,  etc.  Yellow  fever 
is  only  an  intense  "bilious"  fever. 

The  cause  of  disease  is  to  be  found  in  putre- 
faction, in  noxious  exhalations,  gassesor  "mias- 
mata," arising  from  this  process.  This  was  the 
prevailng  theory  and  was  known  as  the  chemi- 
cal theory.  The  animalcular  origin  of  disease 
was  held  by  John  Crawford  alone  and  by  him 
alone  for  many  years.  The  relationship  between 
yellow  fever  and  malaria  and  mosquitoes  never 
suggested  itself  to  Dr.  Potter.  He  believed  in 
the  domestic  origin  of  yellow  fever. 

Dr.  Potter  held  tenaciously  to  these  views 
throughout  his  long  life,  ably  advocating  them 
in  his  writings  and  in  his  lectures  in  this  uni- 
versity. 


CHOLERA  IN  BALTIMORE  IN  J832. 

Mr.  Edward  Stabler,  of  Balto.,  has  placed  in 
our  hands  two  letters  in  which  there  is  an  ac- 
count of  the  epidemoic  of  cholera,  which  prevailed 
in  the  city  in  August  and  September,  1832.  They 
were  written  by  Willian  E.  Bartlett,  who  was 
evidently  a  druggist,  to  Edward  Stabler,  of  San- 
dy Spring,  Montgomery  Co.,  Md.,  and  are  dated 
Aug.  12th  and  Sept.  3d,  respectively.  We  give 
extracts. 

From  the  first: 

♦  *  *  from  the  most  extraordinary  press 
for  drugs  that  I  ever  witnessed  in  a  business  of 
over  23  years  duration,  I  have  neglected  writing 
to  thee  with  other  of  my  friends.  We  have  wit- 
nessed within  a  week  or  ten  days  enough  to  shake 
the  stoutest  heart.  Last  5th  and  6th  days  saw 
our  city  filled  with  mourners  for  the  dead  to  an 
extent  none  of  its  inhabitants  had  ever    known.

Many  persons  who  were  seen  at  work,  or  walking 
about  in  the  morning,  were  in  their  graves  before 
night.  ]\[y  friends  were  constantly  calling  on  me 
to  know  what  they  should  do  to  be  safe.  The 
city  was  indeed  full  of  gloom.  The  report  for  the 
24  hours,  ending  at  10  o'clock  on  the  6th  day, 
stated  55  to  have  died  with  cholera.  The  report 
for  the  last  week  ending  2d  day  morning,  shows 
that  3S2  died  in  that  time,  226  of  the  number 
with  cholera.  When  we  reflect  that  our  average 
number  of  deaths  per  week  does  not  exceed  50  to 
60  at  this  season,  thou  will  perceive  what  Balti- 
more has  lately  witnessed. 

Notwithstanding  these  things,  the  citizens 
have  mostly  remained  in  the  city,  and  generally 
attend  to  their  regular  business.  The  greatest 
part  of  those  who  have  been  thus  cut  off,  were  the 
poor  and  intemperate  tho'  many  worthy  and 
valued  citizens  are  gone.  I  do  not  recollect  at 
this  time  but  few  of  thy  acquaintances,  Joseph 
Mott,  Anna  Dixon  and  the  widow  of  Rossester 
Scott.  These  are  now  sick:  B.  F.  Moore,  Jos. 
Turner  and  wife.  Dr.  Handy,  Jno.  Brooks,  Jno. 
Trimble  and  David  Brown,  all  I  trust  on  the  re- 
covery. 

Opium  and  calomel  are  mostly  resorted  to  when 
violent  attacks  occur.  When  an  uneasiness 
of  the  stomach  is  found,  take  25  to  50  drops 
Essence  of  Peppermint,  and  if  a  looseness  of  the 
bowels,  add  10  to  20  drops  of  laudanum.  Should 
this  not  afford  relief  in  10  to  15  minutes,  give  a 
pill  of  10  to  15  grs.  Calomel  and  i  to  1  gr.  Opium ; 
or  if  thej'  cannot  be  had,  give  25  to  50  drops  of 
Laudanum  in  2  tablespoonfuls  of  Castor  Oil. 

If  violent  spasms  take  place,  and  the  subject 
be  robust  or  the  pulse  full,  bleed — this  is  very 
necessary.  Apply  mustard  plaster  to  the  stomach 
and  rub  the  extremities  with  flannel  wet  in 
whiskey  and  cayenne  pepper. 

I  have  seen  some  with  the  disease.  To  form 
an  idea  of  the  patient's  suffering,  thee  must 
witness  him. 

Thy  Thompsonian  friends  may  smile,  but  do 
thou  rely  on  the  Calomel  and  Bleeding  in  pref- 
erence to  anything  else. 

The  stomach  rapidly  becomes  greatly  inflamed. 

Brandy  and  the  like  must  not  be  administerted.

CORRESPONDENCE. 

Silver  City,  New  Mexico,  Sept.  18,  1911. 
My  dear  Doctor:  — 

I  have  located  amid  the  sand- 
hills of  old  New  Mexico  and  here,  where  I  seldom 
meet  with  an  alumnus  of  the  good  University,  it 
will  be  a  great  pleasure  to  receive  Old  Maryland. 
I  therefore  ask  that  my  new  address  be  placed 
on  the  mailing  list.  Thus  far  I  have  met  with 
much  success  and  even  greater  than  this  success 
is  the  future  brightness. 

With  kind  regards,  I  am 
Very  truly  yours, 

Cyprian  W.  McSherry,  '11.

DEPARTMENT  OF  LAW. 

Messrs.  E.  Philip  Waldschmidt,  '12  and  John 
B.  Walshe,  '13,  have  been  appointed  Librarians 
for  the  night  and  day  respectively.  Mr.  Walshe's 
return  to  college  is  particularly  gratifying  to  his 
fellow  students  on  account  of  the  reports  with 
reference  to  his  injury  last  spring. 

The  movement  to  have  the  streets  surrounding 
the  University  paved  with  smooth  paving,  which

OLD  MARYLAND. 


is  being  vigorously  pushed  by  Mr.  Want,  ot  this 
department,  has  met  with  pronounced  favor  and 
it  is  reliably  reported  that  there  is  a  strong  senti- 
ment in  favor  of  it  in  the  City  Council.  With 
the  energetic  assistance  of  Dr.  Heatwole  and 
others,  favorable  and  early  results  are  expected. 
The  movement  has  been  formally  endorsed  by  the 
Regents  of  the  University  and  has  been  materially 
strengthened  by  the  activity  of  the  Secretary, 
Hon.  Henry  Stockbridge. 

Mr.  Want,  Director  of  the  Law  Library,  is  of 
the  firm  belief  that  there  should  be  a  closer  relation- 
ship between  this  department  and  the  other  de- 
partments of  the  University,  and  we  are  glad  to 
know  that  he  is  going  to  favor  us  with  some 
specific  suggestions  along  this  line. 

Mr.  Eugene  O'Dunne,  1900,  who  was  defeated 
in  the  primaries,  Aug.  29,  declines  to  run  as  an 
independant  candidate  for  State's  Attorney .  of 
Baltimore. 

The  following  were  admitted  to  the  Baltimore 
Bar  by  the  Supreme  Bench,  on  Oct.  6:  Class  of 
1910,  Thomas  G.  Campbell,  J.  Stanislaus  Cook; 
Do.  1911,  Chai'les  H.  Buck,  George  A.  Rossing, 
Warren  A.  Stewart,  Raphael  Walter,  Henry 
ZoUer;  Do.  1909,  Karl  Singe wald. 

The  session  opened  Sept.  25  with  a  very  large 
attendance,  larger  than  last  year  and  larger  than 
the  other  law  school  here.  Among  those  attend- 
ing senior  lectures  is  Mr.  Cyril  Hansell,  '11. 

Mr.  Samuel  Want  began  his  bar  quiz  class  on 
Oct.  2.  He  will  hold  it  three  times  a  week  at  72 
Gunther  Building. 

Mr.  Allan  Herbert  Fisher,  '12,  of  the  Balti- 
more Bar,  has  issued  a  work  called  "Essentials 
of  Maryland  Pleading",  with  introduction  by 
Professor  .Jos.  C.  France,  of  the  Faculty.  K  is 
published  by  the  Daily  Record.     Price  $4.00. 

Mr.  John  L.  Cornell,  LL.  B.  '11,  is  getting 
out  notes  on  "Federal  Procedure"  and  "Admir- 
alty", based  on  -Judge  Rose's  lectures.  They  sell 
for  10  cts.  a  lecture. 

Judge  Stockbridge  in  his  course  has  adopted 
"Wilson's  International  Law"  as  bis  text-book,

DEPARTMENT  OF  PHARMACY. 

The  Department  opened  with  the  Fall  Re-examr 
inations  for  entrance  into  the  Senior  Class,  on 
Sept.  26,  27  and  28.  The  lectures  began  infor- 
mally on  Oct.  2.  The  prospects  are  good  for  at- 
tendance, there  being  about  100  on  hand  at  this 
writing.  The  department  has  been  thoroughly 
renovated,  ceilings  rewhitened  and  woodwork 
painted.  Prof.  Base  is  very  proud  of  his  fine 
laboratory. 

Lawrence  S.  Williams,  Phar.  D.,  '09,  writes, 
"I  enjoy  reading  'Old  Maryland'  and  look  for- 
ward each  month  to  the  time  to  get  it." 

The  death  of  Dr.  Barnet  has  thrown  a  gloom 
over  the  department.  A  sketch  of  his  life  will 
appear  later.  He  suffered  with  throat  trouble 
for  which  he  had  been  operated  on  several  times 
but  without  permanent  benefit.  The  pharma- 
ceutical laboratory  was  closed  on  the  day  of  his 
funeral.  P.  F.  F.

ST.  JOHN'S   COLLEGE    (DEPARTMENT 
OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES). 

The  college  opened  formally  Sept.  25.  The 
students  assembled  in  chapel  and  were  addressed 
by  Rev.  Dr.  McComas,  of  St.  Anne's  P.  E.  Church 
and  President  Thomas  Fell,  wdio  spoke  of  the  high 
ideals  prevailing  at  Sc.  .John's  and  of  the  value 
of  persistence. 

In  the  evening  the  annual  reception  for  new 
students  was  held  in  McDowell  Hall.  The  meet- 
ing was  addressed  by  Prof.  Woodcock,  who  spoke 
of  the  St.  .John's  spirit  in  its  relation  to  academic 
work,  athletics  and  morals.  After  a  number  of 
other  speeches  by  old  students,  refreshments 
were  served  in  Mess  Hall. 

Professor  Woodcock  (Math.)  has  been  granted 
leave  of  absence  for  one  year  and  will  take  a 
special  course  at  Harvard.  His  place  is  being 
filled  by  Professor  Harry  Sturdy. 

Professor  Cecil  (Chem. )  on  account  of  ill  health 
is  sojourning  at  his  home  in  Montgomery  County. 
His  chair  is  being  filled  temporarily  by  Professors

Considerable  damage  was  done  to  the  books  in 
all  parts  of  the  lil)rary  by  the  heavy  rain  of  the 
early  fall.  They  have  been  opened  and  spread  upon 
tables  to  dry.  A  good  roof  is  needed  by  Wood- 
ward Hall.  The  library  is  now  in  charge  of  Pro- 
fessor Sturdy  and  his  assistant  F.  0.  Miller. 
As  soon  as  the  books  are  fit  for  use,  they  will 
be  accessible  to  the  students. 

The  football  season  opened  Sept.  30,  with  a

DEPARTMENT  OF  MEDICINE. 

Prof.  Shipley  was  taken  suddenly  ill  with 
cellulitis  of  the  lower  limb  Sept.  15,  and  was  re- 
moved to  the  University  Hospital  the  following 
day.  Dr.  Frank  Martin,  who  was  in  New  York, 
was  telegraphed  for  and  came  on  at  once.  Through 
his  skilful  ministrations  the  patient  rapidly  im- 
proved and  was  able  to  undertake  an  operation 
on  Sept.  23.     He  is  now  entirely  well. 

Recently  there  has  been  erected  on  the  rear  of 
the  campus  of  the  Anatomical  Department  a 
building  for  the  storage  of  cadavers.  It  is  of 
brick,  one  story  and  about  12x12  feet.  It  con- 
nects with  the  rear  of  the  "Gray  Laboratory." 


The  valuable  library  of  this  department  has 
been  gotten  together  with  great  labor,  largely 
within  the  last  eight  years.  It  is  something  to  be 
justly  proud  of  and  must  strike  every  visitor  to 
the  University  with  astonishment.  It  should  be 
deeply  cherished  and  supported  by  the  Faculty 
and  our  medical  alumni.  Therefore  it  was  a 
great  shock  to  find  recently  that  it  was  being  dam- 
aged by  bad  leaks  in  the  roof  of  Davidge  Hall, 
indeed  without  exaggeration,  it  might  be  said 
that  it  was  threatened  with  destruction,  or  a  large 
part  of  it,  at  least.  Strong  representations  were 
at  once  made  to  the  faculty  and  we  rejoice  to  say 
that  that  body  rose  equal  to  the  emergency. 
Prompt  attention  was  given  to  it,  and  the  leaky, 
corroded  tin  roof  was  thoroughly  gone  over  and 
put  in  good  condition.  But  we  were  not  content 
with  that;  we  went  further.  The  shelves  were  set 
out  three  inches  from  the  wall,  allowing  a  layer 
of  air  to  intervene  between  them.  It  is  hoped  by 
these  measures  that  the  books  will  be  safe  from 
dampness  and  mold  which  are  so  destructive  to 
libraries.  It  will  never  do  for  this  valuable  collec- 
tion to  be  jeopardised. 

The  session  opened  Oct.  2  with  a  good  attend- 
ance. There  was  a  mild  attempt  at  hazing  of 
the  Freshmen  by  the  Sophomores.  Faces  and 
limbs  were  painted,  songs  sung  and  pas  grands 
indulged  in,  when  Dean  Coale  appeared  upon  the 
campus  and  put  a  stop  to  the  fun.

DEPARTMENT  OF  DENTISTRY. 

The  Dental  Department  has  again  opened  its 
doors  for  another  scholastic  term,  but  under  a 
new  regime.  The  changes  which  have  come 
about  under  the  leadership  of  Professor  Heatwole, 
the  new  dean,  will  go  far  to  improve  the  depart- 
ment and  will  be  a  source  of  satisfaction  to  the 
interested  alumnus. 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  instructors,  there 
was  mapped  out  a  plan  of  work,  which  will  tend 
more  strongly  than  ever,  to  produce  a  co-operative 
unity  of  scientific  instruction.  The  benefit  of  this 
method  to  the  student  will  be  the  reduction  of 
deiital  education  to  a  fundamental  principle,  on 
which  all  other  scientific  acquirements  can  be 
based. 

In  regard  to  the  character  of  new  students,  we 
feel  that  the  coming  classes  will  be  enabled  to 
maintain  a  high  standing  before  their  instructors 
and  subsequent  examiners. 

An  announcement  which  caused  a  great  deal 
of  satisfaction  was  that  approximately  twenty- 
five  or  thirty  applicants  to  the  dental  department 
have  been  refused  admission  on  account  of  their 
inability  to  meet  the  educational  requirements  of 
a  first  class  dental  school.  The  enrollment  of 
students,  however,  has  been  more  than  gratifying 
to  those  interested  in  the  department.  The  aims 
of  the  school  will  be  to  impart  knowledge,  and 
maintain  discipline. 

The  National  Dental  Convention,  held  in 
Cleveland,  brought  together  quite  a  number  of 
the  alumni  and  instructors  of  the  University. 
This  large  attendance  demonstrates  the  interest 
maintained  in  all  lines  of  the  profession  by  Uni- 
versity men.  The  genius,  the  endeavor  and  public 
spirit  shown  at  the  meetings  of  the  National 
Dental  Society  are  an  inspiration.  Attendance 
and  co-operation  with  the  association  are  a  work 
in  which  all  dentists  should  take  part. 

The  opening  days  of  school  re-enact  the  same 
old  scenes  of  other  years,  the  greetings  of  the  in- 
structors, the  renewed  acquaintanceship  among 
the  students,  and — dare  we  repeat  it  without 
catching  the  Dean's  ears — the  semi- barbarous 
introduction  and  reception  of  the   Freshmen   go

far  to  make  these  days  memorable.  However, 
we  wish  a  successful  year  to  the  old  students  and 
to  those  just  coming,  a  friendly  welcome. 

We  sympathize  most  sincerly  with  Dr.  Geiser, 
over  the  great  loss  he  suffered  in  the  death  of  his 
wife.  She  was  a  loving  companion  to  him  and 
an  incentive  to  his  life's  work.  Her  passing  away 
undoubtely  leaves  a  great  void.  F.  J.  V.

On  Oct.  10,  an  organization  for  Athletics  in  the

Christian  Association  rooms.  Dr.  Spear  wag 
elected  temporary  president,  Dr.  N.  Winslow, 
Secty.,  and  Dr.  .J.  Holmes  Smith,  Jr.,  Treas.  A 
sub-committee  was  appointed  to  draw  up  Rule 
and  By-Laws,  consisting  of  Drs.  Willse,  R.  L 
Mitchell  and  Todd.  There  will  be  another  meet^ 
ing  on  Tuesday,  Oct.  17,  to  hear  the  report  of 
the  committee.  Dr.  Spear  has  met  the  Presidents 
of  all  the  classes  of  the  departments  of  the  Uni. 
versity  and  has  secured  their  co-operation.  The 
Medical  Faculty  has  sanctioned  the  move,  the 
other  faculties  are  expected  to  take  similar  action 
later.  A  fund  has  been  started  for  the  support 
of  the  various  teams.  The  foot  ball  team  already 
is  a  rather  strong  combination  and  will  compare 
favorably  with  the  other  teams  in  the  state,  the 
whole  back  field  being  composed  of  old  St.  John's 


stars— C.  H.  Ruhl,  W.  Ruhl,  F.  Melville,  D.

Under  the  heading  "A  Good  School  or  None, ^' 
Prof.  R.  Winslow  writes  in  the  Hospital  Bulletin 
for  Oct.  the  following: 

The  Medical  School  of  the  University  of  Mary- 
land has  always  maintained  a  good  standard  and 
has  had  a  long  and  honorable  career.  It  has  not 
been  perfect,  nor  perhaps  has  it  always  been  as 
rigid  as  it  should  have  been,  nevertheless  it  has 
always  stood  for  high  ideals  and  proficiency.  It 
is  absolutely  honest ;  it  does  not  profess  to  do 
those  things  it  cannot  do,  and  it  does  those  things 
it  professes  to  do.  Some  years  its  record  before 
the  examining  boards  has  been  bad,  in  other  years 
good.  In  1910  its  i-ecord  as  reported  was  bad, 
though  more  than  usual  effort  had  been  made  to 
eliminate  bad  material  and  to  graduate  only  the 
good.  This  year  we  think  the  record  will  be 
good.  The  instruction  is  good,  the  examinations 
are  sufficiently  rigid  and  are  impartial,  and  stu- 
dents have  been  turned  down  with  a  liberal  hand  ; 
but  a  system  was  in  existence  that  to  a  large  ex- 
tent was  responsible  for  our  poor  showing,  viz., 
permitting  students  to  have  credit  for  branches 
passed,  instead  of  making  them  take  the  whole 
year  over  when  they  failed  to  graduate.  In  this 
way  many  men  slipped  through.  This  has  now 
been  stopped ;  men  are  not  allowed  to  carry  more 
than  two  conditions  from  one  class  to  another, 
and  if  they  fail  to  graduate  and  are  permitted  to 
return  they  must  repeat  the  whole  year.  More- 
over, .but  few  will  be  allow^ed  to  return  if  they  fail 
in  the  senior  year.  Of  the  13  who  failed  in  1911, 
only  three  will  be  permitted  to  return,  two  with 
averages  over  80  and  one  a  foreigner  who  could 
not  express  himself  well  in  English.  We  believe 
this  new  regulation  will  pretty  well  stop  the  fail- 
ures before  the  examining  boards.  Another  loop- 
hole has  also  been  closed,  that  of  accepting  credits 
from  other  schools.  Hereafter  credits  will  be  ac- 
cepted only  from  creditable  schools,  and  those 
who  wish  to  change  from  doubtful  institutions 
will  be  required  to  pass  examinations  to  determine 
their  proficiency.  The  Faculty  is  determined  that 
we  shall  have  a  good  school  or  none.

We  learn  that  the  Regents  met  on  Wednesday, 
Sept.  27th,  and  that  a  committee  was  appointed  to 
make  arrangements  for  Academic  Day,  Nov.  13.

The  Western  National  Bank,  Eutaw  near  Fay- 
ette St.,  Balto.,  is  being  enlarged  and  remodeled 
at  an  expense  of  $120,000.  When  completed 
the  building  will  be  one  of  the  handsomest  in 
the  city. 

o 

It  is  with  pleasure  that  we  are  able  to  announce 
that  Mr.  Wilhelm  Lentz,  of  Sc.  John's  College,  will 
be  the  representative  from  that  department  on 
the  Editorial  Staff  of  this  Journal  during  the 
coming  year.  He  is  a  prominent  and  active 
member  of  the  senior  class  and  is  highly  spoken 
of.  He  is  also  Editor-in-chief  of  the  Collegian.

We  are  glad  to  learn  that  Mr.  A.  Edwin  Lindley 
has  been  appointed  college  secretary  of  the  Young 
Men's  Christian  Association  of  Baltimore  and   will 


have  charge  of  the  association  work  at  this  Uni-

has  had  large  experience  in  this  line,  having  had 
charge  of  it  for  the  last  three  years  at  the  Agri-

University  circles,  and  indeed  the  entire  com- 
munity, were  greatly  shocked  at  the  death  of  Mrs. 
Minna  Howison  Coale,  wife  of  the  Dean  of  the 
Department  of  Medicine,  on  Oct.  6,  four  days 
after  an  operation  for  appendicitis.  She  was  a 
woman  of  the  most  attractive  qualities  and  had 
hardly  passed  the  prime  of  life.  Our  deepest 
sympathy  is  offered  to  our  colleague  in  his  sorrow 
and  bereavement.  Lectures  were  suspended  on 
Oct.  9,  the  day  of  the  funeral.  The  Sophomore 
Class  sent  a  floral  tribute.

The  question  of  the  value  of  the  classics — Latin 
and  Greek — in  medical  education  can  by  no  means 
be  considered  as  settled  in  the  negative.  The 
discussion  is  renewed  from  time  to  time  and 
scientists  of  the  highest  standing  continue  to  tes- 
tify to  their  necessity.  In  a  recent  discussion 
before  the  French  Senate,  several  physicians  bore 
the  strongest  testimony  as  to  their  helpfulness, 
not  only  towards  understanding  the  language  of 
science,  but  in  training  the  mind  to  undertake  the 
study  of  the  sciences.  The  individual  is  seriously 
handicapped  who  undertakes  the  study  of 
medicine  without  a  familiarity  with  the  classics.

Professor  Hemmeter  gives  a  glowing  account  of 
his  stay  at  Woods  Hole,  Mass.,  last  summer. 
Everything  was  calculated  to  stir  interest  and 
stimulate  effort.     The  weather  was  superb,  there

was  an  abundance  of  material  from  the  sea  to 
work  on,  the  Government  was  most  liberal  in 
supplying  apparatus,  and  the  company  of  work- 
ers, headed  by  Jacques  Loeb,  was  full  of  enthu- 
siasrn  and  ambition.  The  motto  was  "'Nature, 
not  Books." 

In  the  line  of  investigation  pursued  by  Prof. 
Hemmeter — work  upon  the  functions  of  the  heart 
— he  was  particularly  successful  and  believes  that 
he  has  made  a  "scientific  contribution  of  funda- 
mental importance."  It  is  however  of  too  tech- 
nical a  character  for  such  a  journal  as  this  and 
we  are  not  able  therefore  to  reproduce  it  in  detail, 
but  when  it  has  been  published  we  hope  to  give  a 
summary  of  it  for  the  benefit  of  our  readers. 
We    congratulate    Professor    Hemmeter   on    his 

achievements .

Under  the  heading  "A  Hmried  Tour  through 
Europe,"  Professor  Ashby,  in  the  last  issue  of  the 
Hospital  Bulletin,  gives  some  notes  of  his  stay  in 
England.  He  admired  Liverpool  and  London 
and  enjoyed  greately  the  ride  of  200  miles 
through  the  picturesque  and  beautiful  country. 
The  railway  service  was  by  far  the  best  he  saw  in 
Europe.  He  was  struck  with  the  fine  paving  of 
the  London  streets.  He  was  disappointed  in 
Westminster  Abbey  and  the  Parliament  House. 
The  interior  of  the  former  is  much  smaller  than

its  outward  appearance  would  indicate.  The  only 
satisfaction  he  had  in  his  visit  to  it  was  in  seeing 
the  royal  coronation  chair  and  the  stone  of  Schone 
resting  under  it.  The  Halls  of  Parliament  are 
contracted  and  uncomfortable  and  do  not  com- 
pare with  the  Capitol  at  Washington,  or  even 
with  the  Hall  of  the  House  of  Delegates  at 
Annapolis.  Buckingham  Palace  is  dark  and 
dingy  and  needs  badly  a  coat  of  paint.  It  looks 
more  like  a  large  hospital  or  reformatory  than 
the  home  of  a  king.  St.  Paul's  is  the  most  im- 
pressive building  in  London,  and  he  was  fasci- 
nated with  the  music,  the  chanting  and  responses, 
the  dignity  and  refinement  of  the  services  there. 
In  the  British  Museum  he  was  chiefly  interested 
in  the  Greek  and  Roman  archeological  collections. 
He  visited  several  of  the  hospitals  and  saw  little 
to  condemn  or  praise.  They  are  in  no  respect  su- 
perior to  our  University  Hospital.  H.3  concludes 
with  some  details  regarding  the  curricula  and 
conditions  of  practice,  degrees,  etc.

The  establishment  of  i/j/nsofl.,  Westcotf.  and  Co., 
Professional  Pharmacists  of  Baltimore,  shows 
what  pluck,  intelligence  and  high  purpose  can 
achieve.  It  was  founded  twenty- two  years  ago 
with  the  intention  of  limiting  its  scope  to  legiti- 
mate pharmacy  only,  to  medicines  and  articles 
used  in  the  care  of  the  sick.  No  soda  water, 
cigars,  tobacco,  candy,  toys  or  patent  medicines 
were  to  be  sold,  and  narcotics  only  on  physicians 
prescriptions.  This  determination  has  been  con- 
sistently adhered  to  and  today  the  firm  has  a 
national  reputation  of  which  Baltimoreans  may 
be  proud.  Beginning  with  a  colored  porter,  there 
are  now  thirty- seven  persons  employed  by  it. 
The  floor  space  has  increased  from  600  square  feet 
to  4,500  square  ft.,  not  including  the  branch.  The 
entire  4-story  and  basement  building  at  Charles 
and  Franklin  Sts.  and  a  separate  warehouse  are 
in  use.  Besides  medicines,  apparatus  of  every 
description,  surgical  dressings,  sick  room  con- 
veniences and  dietetic  products  are  keep  in  stock. 
The  Linden  Avenue  Branch  is  indeed  a  revelation 
in  the  practice  of  pharmacy.  All  three  members 
of  the  firm  are  also  members  of  the  faculty  of 
Pharmacy  of  this  University  and  are  authorities 
on  their  respective  branches. 

Last  summer  Messrs.  Hynson,  Westcottand  Co. 
began  extensive  alterations  in  their  establishment 
which  are  rapidly  approaching  completion .    ^\lien

It  was  my  good  fortune  to  visit  a  farm  near 
Charles  Town  which  has  elicited  attention  of 
the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture  in  "Farm- 
ers' Bulletin  432"  entitled  ''Hoiva  City  Family 
Managed  a  Farm, ' '  prepared  recently  by  a  repre- 
sentative of  the  Department.  The  owner,  Major 
Edward  McDonald,  a  gallant  Confederate  sol- 
dier, was  in  1892  living  in  the  city  of  Louisville 
and  in  charge  of  a  title  and  trust  company  with 
a  salary  of  $3,000.  At  that  time  being  60  yeiirs 
old  and  with  no  previous  experience  as  a  farmer, 
he  was  compelled  on  account  of  ill-health  to 
move  to  the  country.  There  was  a  capital  of 
$10,000  to  start  with,  with  which  a  fariii  of  400 
acres  was  purchased.  The  pamphlet  shows  how 
they  built  a  house  and  proceeded  to  improve  the 
place. 

Minute  details  are  given,  with  illustrations, 
which,  of  coarse  it  is  impossible  for  us  to  repro- 
dace,  highly  interesting  though  they  be.  They 
are  based  on  a  diary  and  financial  record  kept  by 
the  proprietor.  The  pamphlet  can  be  procured 
from  the  Department  of  Agriculture.  The  water 
supply  and  sewerage  have  been  carefully  pro- 
vided for  and  the  dwelling  is  equipped  with  mod- 
ern conveniences.  The  largest  source  of  reve- 
nue is  the  orchard,  where  spraying  is  practiced 
according  to  latest  ideas. 

The  value  of  the  estate  has  more  than  quadrupl- 
ed .  Everybody  works.  The  net  income  for  1909  was 
about  $5,200.  The  ten  children  have  received 
the  best  education,  at  an  expense  of  $10,000. 
"The  farm-labor  problem,  the  household  prob- 
lem, the  training  of  children  in  responsibility  in 
management  and  the  doing  of  farm  work  in  a  wav 
to  meet  the  requirements  cf  a  normal  social  life 
and  cultivated  intellectual  tastes,  have  been 
worked  out.  The  possibilities,  desirability  and 
dignity  of  farming  as  an  occupation  have  been 
demonstrated." 

I  shall  long  cherish  the  memory  of  the  even- 
ing spent  at  "Media"  with  this  charming  family 
on  their  "model  farm." 


A  letter  recently  received  from  one  of  the 
young  ladies  says:  "We  are  very  busy,  a&  usual 
at  this  season,  picking  the  apples.  The  women's 
part  of  it  is  to  board  the  'hands.'  The  crop  is 
turning  out  so  well,  though,  that  we  don't  mind 
the  work.  I  wish  you  could  see  the  orchard  now,

of  employing  these  young  gentlemen,  who  are 
glad  to  spend  a  month's  holiday  in  this  way  in  the 
country,  besides  receiving  pay  for  their  services.

RECOLLECTIONS  OF  SLAVE  DAYS 
AND  WAR  TIMES. 

By  the  Editor. 
{Continued  from  pacje  112). 

On  the  5th  Early  withdrew  behind  the  Opequon 
and  Rodes  attacked  Averill's  Cavalry  which  was 
forcing  its  way  into  Winchester,  and  drove  it 
back.  Anderson  retired  to  Winchester  with  a 
view  of  taking  a  more  southerly  route  to  Richmond. 
At  this  time  there  were  almost  incessant  skir- 
mishes with  the  enemy.  Their  cavalry  was  par- 
ticularly active,  and  as  our  cavalry  was  entirely 
unable  to  check  them,  that  duty  devolved 
upon  our  infantry  which  was  thus  keiit  incessantly 
on  the  go,  a  condition  that  harassed  and  fatigued 
us  very  much,  and  had  a  depressing  effect  upon 
our  spirits. 

On  Sept.  14,  Anderson  left  us,  going  by  way  of 
Front  Royal;  Fitz  Lee,  however,  remained  with 
his  cavalry.  Pond  remarks  upon  this  and  says 
that  these  reinforcements  were  sent  to  Early  when 
Sheridan  had  even  two  divisions  less  than  now. 
At  this  time  our  troops  occupied  the  following 
positions:  Rodes',  Gordon's  and  Wharton's 
Divisions  of  Infantry,  with  Braxton's  and  King's 
Artillery,  were  at  Stephenson's  Depot,  on  the 
Winchester  and  Potomac  R.  R.,  six  miles  east  of 
Winchester;  Ramseur's  Division  with  Nelson's 
Artillery,  was  on  the  Berryville  pike,  one  mile 
south  of  Winchester ;  the  cavalry  occupied  the 
flanks.  Our  forces  consisted  of  8500  muskets  for 
duty  (1700  of  these  being  in  the  Division  under 
Wharton,  to  which  I  was  attached),  three  bat- 
talions of  artillery  and  2900  cavalry.  Fitz  Lee 
had  a  few  pieces  of  horse  artillery.  Vaughan's 
Brigade  of  cavalry  had  been  sent  back  to  south- 
west Virginia,  most  of  his  men  having  already 
left  without  permission.  The  Federals  had  35,000 
infantry  and  10,000  cavahy,  four  times  our 
number.

Early  now  made  the  fatal  mistake  of  remaining 
exposed  to  the  attack  of  an  enemy  vastly  superior 
to  him  as  he  well  knew,  and  liable  at  any 
moment  to  be  overwhelmed  by  him.  He  seemed 
to  have  lost  his  discretion.  In  the  maneuvering 
hitherto,  it  had  been  retreat  and  advance  as  one 
side  or  the  other  was  reinforced.  With  all  ,  his 
advantages  Sheridan  was  ever  cautious- — overcau- 
tious perhaps.  It  looks  as  though  Early  had 
made  up  his  mind  to  fight  it  out  with  his  ad- 
versary once  for  all — a  pitched  battle.  He  cer- 
tainly, according  to  his  own  admissions,  ventured 
too  far  and  the  result  was  a  series  of  disasters 
which  terminated  only  with  the  war  itself.  Had 
Early  been  able  to  maintain  himself  in  the  Valley, 
the  struggle  at  Richmond  might  have  been  ter- 
minated differently. 

Yet  there  is  something  sublime  in  the  audacity 
with  which  he  confronted  his  country's  enemies 
with  his  little  force  of  veterans.  He  felt  the 
necessity  to  our  cause  of  maintaining  a  militant 
attitude  and  realized  fully  his  danger.  "Had 
Sheridan,"  he  says,  "by  a  prompt  movement 
thrown  his  whole  force  upon  the  line  of  my  com- 
munications, I  would  have  been  compelled  to  cut 
my  way  through  as  there  was  no  escape  for  me 
to  the  right  or  left,  and  my  force  was  too  weak 
to  cross  the  Potomac  while  he  was  in  my  rear." 
'  'The  object  of  my  presence  there, ' '  he  says  again, 
"was  to  keep  up  a  threatening  attitude  towards 
Maryland  and  Pennsylvania  and  prevent  the  use 
of  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad  and  the 
Chesapeake  and  Ohio  Canal,  as  well  as  to  keep  as 
large  a  force  as  possible  from  Grant's  Army  to 
defend  the  Federal  Capital.  *  *  I  knew  my 
danger  but  could  occupy  no  other  position  that 
would  have  enabled  me  to  accomplish  the  desired 
object.  *  *  If  I  had  moved  up  the  Valley  at 
all  I  could  not  have  stopped  short  of  New  Market, 
for  between  that  place  and  the  country  in  which 
I  was,  there  was  no  forage  for  my  horses  and  this 
would  have  enabled  the  enemy  to  resume  the  use 
of  the  railroad  and  canal  and  return  all  the  troops 
of  Grant's  army  to  him."

BALTIMORE,  MD. 


On  Sept.  16,  General  Grant  was  in  Charlestown, 
and  Kershaw's  withdrawal  becoming  known  at 
that  time,  an  advance  was  determined  on. 

On  Sept.  17,  in  the  afternoon.  Early  marched 
from  Stephenson's  Depot,  with  Rodes'  and  Gor- 
don's Divisions  and  Braxton's  Artillery  to  Bunker 
Hill,  on  the  Martinsburg  pike,  and  on  the  18th 
continued  with  Gordon,  a  part  of  Lomax's  Cav- 
alry and  a  few  guns  to  Martinsburg,  18  miles  from 
Winchester,  which  his  wily  antagonist  was  then 
approaching.  His  object  was  to  prevent  repairs 
on  the  railroad.  He  returned  to  Bunker  Hill 
and  left  Gordon  there  that  night,  Rodes  march- 
ing on  to  Stephenson's.  Thus  on  the  night  of  the 
18th,  our  cavalry  was  at  Martinsburg,  Gordon  at 
Bunker  Hill,  Rodes  on  the  go,  Wharton  with 
King's  Battery  at  Stephenson's  and  Ramseur  in 
position  across  the  Berryville  Pike  near  Win- 
chester. And  on  the  morning  of  the  19th,  Ram- 
seur alone  confronted  the  enemy's  line  of  battle 
forming  in  front  of  Winchester.  Lee  seems  to 
have  realized  Early's  danger,  for  on  the  17th  he 
wrote  to  Anderson  not  to  leave  the  Valley. 
Too  late,  for  Anderson  was  then  on  the  other  side 
of  the  Blue  Ridge,  hastening  to  Richmond! 

Skirmishing  began  on  our  right  early  on  that 
fateful  19th,  and  while  the  enemy  were  held  in 
check,  Gordon  and  Rodes  were  hurried  up  from 
Bunker  Hill  and  Stephenson's  Depot  respectively. 
Gordon  arrived  first  between  10  and  11  o'clock 
and  was  placed  behind  Ramseur's  left,  Rodes 
forming  later  on  Gordon's  right.  The  attack  on 
Ramseur  now  began,  the  6th  and  19th  corps  be- 
ing engaged.  A  heavy  force  moved  forward  upon 
his  left  flank,  when  Rodes  and  Gordon  were  ad- 
vanced through  the  timber  lo  meet  them,  and  the 
former  charging  drove  them  a  considerable  dis- 
tance, and  captured  a  large  number  of  prisoners. 
The  gallant  Rodes  here  lost  his  life.  Ramseur 
had  been  forced  back  a  little  but  soon  recovered, 
being  supported  by  Lomax's  cavalry  on  his  right, 
which  not  only  kept  back  the  enemy's  cavalry, 
but  even  charged  their  infantry  who  were  press- 
ing Ramseur. 

Thus,  by  noon  we  had  been  victorious,  and  if 
we  had  had  a  fresh  body  of  troops  to  push  the 
victory,  the  day  would  have  been  ours.  Wharton 
had  not  yet  arrived  on  the  field  and  the  enemy's 
8th  Corps — Army  of  West  Virginia  had  not  been 
engaged.  McCausland  and  Imboden  were  watch- 
ing the  Federal  cavalry  on  the  Martinsburg  pike.

Our  line  did  not  reach  to  the  Front  Royal  pike 
on  our  right,  or  to  the  Martinsburg  pike  on  our 
left,  and  on  our  extreme  right  the  Federal  cav- 
alry and  artillery  overlapped  us  a  mile,  our  only 
mode  of  retreat  by  the  valley  pike  being  entirely 
unprotected . 

Thus  far,  our  division  under  Breckenridge  had 
been  engaged  with  Torbert's  cavalry  only,  near 
Brucetown,  nine  miles  east  of  Winchester.  They 
crossed  the  Opequon  there  and  made  several 
charges  which  we  repulsed.  Meanwhile  a  large 
force  of  cavalry  advanced  up  the  Martinsburg 
pike  threatening  our  rear,  so  that  we  were  in 
great  danger  of  being  cut  ofi.  Matters  got  so 
urgent  with  us  that  we  had  to  double-quick 
towards  Winchester,  flanked  on  either  side  by  the 
Federal  cavalry  and  our  rear  engaging  with 
their  infantry.  Lieutenant  "Bee"  Davenport,  of 
our  brigade  staff,  was  killed  here.  We  joined 
Early's  main  body  about  2  P.  M.  One  of  our 
brigades — Echols',  under  Col.  Patton,  had  been 
detached  and  left  on  the  Martinsburg  pike  to  sup- 
port Fitz  Lee.  Our  other  two  brigades  were 
placed  in  rear  of  the  centre  of  our  line  of 
battle — opposite  Rodes — prepared  to  move  in  any 
direction  where  they  might  be  needed.  Wick- 
ham's  Brigade  of  Fitz  Lee's  Division  had  been 
sent  to  the  assistarice  of  Lomax  on  our  right  to 
secure  our  communication  by  the  valley  pike 
which  was  threatened.  Late  in  the  afternoon  two 
divisions  of  the  enemy's  cavalry  supported  by  the 
fresh  8th  Corps — Crooks  Army  of  W.  Va.,  drove  in 
Patton's  and  Payne's  (cavalry)  brigades  in  con- 
fusion. Patton  (G.  W.)  was  mortally  wounded 
and  fell  into  their  hands.  They  swept  everything 
before  them  as  far  as  the  outskirts  of  Winchester. 
Breckenridge  at  once  faced  his  two  brigades  to 
the  left,  and  placing  himself  at  the  head  of  the 
column  hurried  at  a  double-quick  to  the  left  and 
rear  to  meet  the  emergency.  Charging  the  Federal 
cavalry,  with  the  aid  of  King's  and  Braxton's 
Batteries  he  forced  it  back.  We  then  faced  to 
the  front  at  right  angles  to  the  pike  and  another 
charge  of  the  enemy's  cavalry  was  repulsed.  But 
we  were  on  a  line  to  the  rear  of  our  main  line  and 
many  of  the  latter  (Gordon 's)hearing  firing  in  their 
rear  and  supposing  they  were  flanked  and  about

to  be  surrounded,  began  to  fall  back.  There  was 
consequently  much  confusion.  At  the  same  time 
Crook  advanced  againt  our  left.  Gordon  threw 
Evans  in  line  to  meet  him  but  owing  to  the  dis- 
order, after  obstinate  resistance,  Evans  was  com- 
pelled to  retire. 

The  whole  front  line  had  now  given  away,  but 
a  large  part  of  the  men  rallied  behind  an  in- 
different line  of  breastworks,  which  had  been 
constructed  just  outside  of  Winchester  during  the 
first  year  of  the  War.  There  with  the  aid  of  our 
artillery,  the  progress  of  the  enemy's  infantry 
was  checked.  Wickham  was  now  hurried  back 
to  the  left.  At  this  time  it  was  reported  that  the 
enemy  had  gotten  around  our  right  flank  and 
Early  gave  orders  to  retire;  but  instantly  dis- 
covering that  it  was  Ramseur  moving  back  to  the 
new  line,  he  ordered  a  return  to  the  works  before 
his  men  had  gotten  20  paces.  "The  order  was 
obeyed  by  Wharton's  Division,  not  so  well  by  the 
others"  (Early). 

It  was  now  about  5.30  P.  M.  Our  line  of  battle 
was  a  continuous  one.  My  brigade,  commanded 
by  Col.  Thomas  Smith,  of  the  36th  Va. — a  brave 
officer,  who  it  will  be  remembered  had  been 
, wounded  and  captured  at  Cloyd's  Mountain  in 
May — was  on  the  extreme  left  of  the  line.  The 
Colonel  was  on  the  right  and  I  took  position  at  the 
very  extremity  of  the  left,  where  my  own  regiment 
and  indeed  my  own  company  were  stationed.  I 
was  mounted  on  a  tall  black  horse  which  my 
father  had  just  bought  for  me  and  I  was  the  only 
mounted  officer  to  be  seen.  Usually  we  went 
into  battle  on  foot — Col.  Starke  always  did  so, 
sending  his  horse  to  the  rear.  But  on  this  occa- 
sion Col.  Smith  had  remained  on  horseback  and  I 
therefore  felt  constrained  to  do  likewise.  I  realized 
the  importance  of  this  position  and  somehow  felt 
I  could  best  discharge  my  duty  by  remaining 
there.  There  were  no  toops  of  any  sort  to  our 
left,  as  far  as  we  could  see.  After  a  while  a  small 
body  of  cavalry  apparently,  as  1  recollect  them, 
about  400-500  in  number — came  up  and  took 
position  to  our  left.  As  soon  as  the  enemy's 
cavalry,  who  were  marshaling  in  splendid  array 
in  the  distance,  saw  them,  they  made  a  dash  for 
the  poor  fellows.  It  was  a  beautiful  sight,  that 
charge  across  the  open  space.  Our  men  waited  a 
while,  with  evident  and  increasing  trepidation, 
then  there  was  a  commotion,  first  one  then  an- 
other discharging  his  pistol,  and  then  before  the 


142

enemy  had  gotten  near  them  they  turned  and 
fled  precipitately.  Later  we  could  see  horsemen 
against  the  sky  on  Fort  Hill,  an  elevation  some 
hundreds  of  yards  west  of  Winchester.  They  were 
said  to  be  Wickhara's  men  and  probably  were  the 
same  of  whom  I  have  been  speaking.  As  the 
Yankees  passed  us,  we  turned  and  gave  them  a 
volley.  I  endeavored  to  discharge  my  pistol  but 
it  would  not  go  of!,  although  I  snapped  cap  after 
cap. 

As  the  day  wore  on  matters  grew  worse  and 
worse.  The  Federals  threw  out  a  heavy  line  of 
sharpshooters  who  approached  nearer  and  nearer  ; 
their  bullets  were  constantly  whizzing  by  us. 
Their  long  line  of  infantry  also  came  into  view, 
stretched  out  in  imposing  length  much  overlapp- 
ing ours  and  resembling  somehugh  serpent  about 
to  envelope  his  prey.  We  were  in  the  open  field 
without  any  protection  whatever;  there  were  no 
breastworks  there  as  there  were  to  the  right. 
The  men  were  lying  flat  on  the  ground  for  protec- 
tion and  were  in  large  measure  safe  from  the  flying 
bullets.  But,  mounted  on  my  big  horse,  I  was 
the  target  at  which  probably  hundreds  were 
aiming.  I  should  have  dismounted  and  sent  my 
horse  to  the  rear ;  the  value  of  horses  and  the 
difficulty  of  replacing  them  justified  me  in  doing 
so.  But  I  was  afraid  the  act  might  be  miscon- 
strued. 1  do  not  know  whether  Col.  Smith  was 
mounted  at  that  time.  Looking  back  upon  those 
fateful  moments,  I  cannot  but  wonder  that  the 
position  we  occupied — the  unprotected  left  flank 
of  the  line  of  battle  was  so  completely  neglected. 
Not  an  officer  besides  myself  was  to  be  seen,  not 
a  piece  of  artillery  was  sent  to  shell  the  advancing 
line  of  Federals!  Presently  a  man  in  front  of  me 
— a  conscrix:)t,  by  the  way,  whom  I  had  picked  up 
in  Fayette  County  on  my  trip  down  there  in 
August,  1862 — received  a  flesh  wound  in  the  arm. 
At  least  he  said  that  he  had  been  shot  there ;  I 
could  not  v  inch  for  it  as  I  saw  no  evidence  of  it 
and  he  had  no  great  reputation  for  bravery.  As 
he  started  to  the  rear.  Sergeant  Gilkerson  who  had 
also  been  with  me  on  the  trip  referred  to  and  was

aneighbor  of  the  man,  went  with  him  supporting 
him.  I  stopped  them  and  finding  that  the  man 
was  not  so  badly  hurt  that  he  could  not  go  alone, 
I  made  Gilkerson  return  to  the  ranks,  telling  him 
we  could  not  spare  him.  It  was  the  last  I  saw  of 
Gilkerson ;  he  never  came  out  of  that  battle  alive  I 

The  sharpshooters  were  now  near  enough  to 
make  it  decidedly  unpleasent  and  it  was  only  a 
few  moments  when  a  ball  passed  through  my  left 
boot,  tearing  the  flesh  from  the  leg.  The  limb 
was  numbed  but  it  was  not  very  painful  and  I 
held  my  ground.  A  few  minutes  more  and  another 
ball  buried  itself  in  the  left  side  of  my  abdomen. 
It  must  have  been  fired  from  a  distance,  else  it 
would  have  gone  through  my  body;  I  can  hardly 
imagine  that  the  thickness  of  my  vest,  pants  and 
underclothing,  or  even  the  presence  of  a  belt, 
button  or  other  hard  substance  offered  any  serious 
obstacle  to  its  passage.  I  became  deathly  sick 
and  nauseated,  and  it  was  with  difficulty  that  I 
maintained  my  position  on  my  horse.  I  felt  that 
my  fighting  clays  were  over  for  that  day  at  least, 
and  most  unwillingly  rode  off  the  field,  clinging  to 
my  horse's  neck.  As  I  rode  to  the  rear  a  third 
ball  struck  my  left  thigh,  bruising  it  badly  but 
not  penetratintT  the  flesh. 

In  Winchester  I  found  everything  in  confusion 
and  betokening  the  inpending  defeat.  Our  wagons 
filled  the  road  and  there  were  many  stragglers 
scattered  through  the  fields.  After  going 
several  miles  I  left  the  main  road  and  sought  rest 
in  a  small  house.  There  I  remained  some  hours  and 
then  resumed  my  journey.  The  next  day  I  caught 
up  with  an  ambulance  in  which  two  of  my 
acquaintances  from  Winchester,  who  had  been 
wounded,  were  being  carried  to  the  rear.  Leaving 
my  horse  with  my  servant — an  honest  fellow  as 
it  proved — I  got  in  with  them  and  rode  on 
to  Staunton,  whence  I  was  sent  to  Lynchburg. 

I  never  learned  exactly  what  took  place  after  I 
left  the  field  of  battle.  Our  line  was  unable  to 
maintain  its  position  and  had  to  retire — Ramseur 
still  in  order  moving  south  of  Winchester,  the 
others  through  it  and  along  the  pike.  Wickham 
with  his  horse  artillery  on  Fort  Hill  checked  the 
pursuit  of  the  Federal  cavalry.  Under  protection 
of  the  darkness  our  forces  retired  to  Newtown 
without  serious  molestation,  Lomax  holding  the 
enemy's  cavalry  in  check  on  the  right,  and  a 
feeble  attempt  at  pursuit  being  checked  at  Kerns- 
town  by  Ramseur.     My  own  command  seemed  to

have  maintained  an  obstinate  resistance  and  the 
heaviest  loss  of  prisoners  was  in  Wharton's  Divis- 
ion. It  lost  three  pieces  of  artillery  (King's),  the 
horses  being  shot.  The  Federal  loss  was  5,000; 
ours  4,000 — of  whom  2,000  were  prisoners.  "We 
had  fought  since  daylight  and  been  driven  back 
two  miles.  The  enemy's  immense  superiority 
in  cavalry  alone  gave  him  the  victory"  (Early). 
We  saved  all  our  trains. 

Early  severely  criticized  his  antagonist's  con- 
duct of  the  battle,  and  attributed  his  escape  from 
utter  annihilation  to  Sheridan's  incapacity,  so 
extreme  that  in  his  estimation  he  ought  to  have 
been  cashiered  for  it.  The  open  country  gave  op- 
portunity for  the  use  of  cavalry  in  which  the  Fed- 
eral general  was  immensely  superior.  An  energetic 
commander  would  have  crushed  Ramseur  before 
assistance  could  reach  him.  He  seems  to  think 
that  he  got  of?  very  well  considering  the  circum- 
stances. But  one  cannot  avoid  the  reflection  that 
Early  himself  was  to  blame.  He  knew  before- 
hand the  superiority  of  the  enemy  in  numbers  and 
in  cavalry  and  but  for  his  inexcusable  rashness 
he  might  have  avoided  this  crushing  defeat — the 
beginning  of  his  misfortunes — and  worse  in  its 
ultimate  consequences  than  in  itself.  Henceforth 
the  terror  of  his  name  had  vanished,  the  invin- 
cibility of  his  army  was  gone,  and  with  these  the 
self-confidence,  the  fearlessness,  the  elan  of  his 
troops — which  were  the  best  in  Lee's  army.

The  time  is  at  last  come  which  affords 
me  the  pleasure  of  writing  the  long  expected 
Letter  by  Mr.  Lee  and  at  the  same  time  of  ac^ 
knowledging  the  receipt  of  yoar  last.  And  here 
I  must  not  omit  giving  you  all  the  thanks  which 
your  goodness  commands,  in  so  pleasingly  an- 
ticipating my  wishes.  I  mean  as  to  Mr.  Roquet. 
I  write  to  you  with  the  more  happiness,  as  I  am 
very  well  assured  that  you  are  pleased  to  receive 
my  Letters,  and  as  I  can  assure  you  of  my  perfect 
recovery.  As  I  once  before  wrote  by  this  Mr.

you  may  gather  something  from  the  Papers.  I 
earnestly  hope  you  are  all  well,  and  beg  you  will 
write  me  so,  as  soon  as  possible.  I  have  only  to

As  I  have  not  heard  from  you  since  I  left 
you,  I  have  cause  to  suspect  that  my  Letter  has 
met  with  the  usual  Fate,  a  Miscarriage. 

Two  days  ago  I  walked  out  to  relax  my  mind  a 
little.  Free  from  all  other  thoughts,  my  mind  had 
raised  itself  to  the  contemplation  of  the  Divinity; 
lost  in  the  unbounded  view  of  his  Excellence 
which  appears  still  more  glorious  the  more  we 
reflect  on  it,  my  unconscious  steps  led  me  to  a 
lonely  Cottage,  whose  appearance  only  served  t(.i 
stamp  the  impression  of  extreme  poverty  and  In- 
digence. I  thought  I  felt  something  within  me 
which  whispered  "'You  have  now  an  opportunity 
of  displaying  the  most  noble  of  all  passions,  Ben- 
evolence". I  entered  the  Hut,  but,  you  alone, 
who  are  eo  sensible  of  the  kindly  influence  of 
humanity,  can  judge  what  were  my  feelings  when 
I  saw,  stretched  on  a  coarse  bed  of  straw,  a  Man 
and  his  Wife,  both  helpless  from  Disease,  and 
on  each  side  three  or  four  small  children.  The 
man  had  layn  a  long  time  with  the  Rheumatism  ; 
the  woman  wioh  the  Measles.  I  gave  them  all 
the  money  I  had;  it  was  not  much,  yet  Heaven 
knows  I  wished  it  had  been  more.     Do  not  think

I  write  thro  ostentation;  my  sole  motive  is,  to 
give  you  all  the  pleasure  which  I  know  you  re- 
ceive from  hearing  of  a  good  Action.  On  this 
occasion  I  cannot  help  thinking  that  if  those 
who  have  it  in  their  power,  did  but  know  half 
the  pleasure  which  a  benevolent  action  gives, 
there  would  be  many  happy  persons,  who  now 
groan  under  the  oppressive  load  of  Want  and 
Misery. 

Tomorrow  Mr.  Chase  sets  out.  I  have  thought 
of  your  hint  of  studying  in  Baltimore  till  his  re- 
turn, and  cannot  but  think  it  advisable.  I  have 
reason  to  fear  that  the  office  without  a  head  will 
not  be  as  well  conducted  as  it  ought.  As  to  the 
Society,  I  doubt  whether  as  much  stress  ought  to 
belu,idonit,asyou  may  imagine.  On  this,  however, 
you  may  determine  as  you  please  and  it  shall  be 
my  happiness  to  acquiesce.  But  under  Mr. 
Dulany  or  Mr.  Ridgley  1  think  I  should  do  much 
better  for  the  present;  but  1  am  still  more  de- 
sirous of  being  under  your  immediate  guidance.  I 
shall  too,  be  somewhat  less  expensive  to  you. 

I  wrote  to  Mamma  also,  the  last  time  I  wrote 
to  you,  and  begged  her  to  hasten  ray  Cloathes; 
I  will  he  obliged  to  you  to  remind  her  of  it.

POE  AS   A  CONSTRUCTIVE  FORCE  IN 
WORLD  LITERATURE. 

OCTLINE  OF  AN  ADDRESS  DELIVERED  AT  THE  ACA- 
DEMIC Day  Exercises  of  the  University  of 
Maryland  on  Nov.  13,  1911,  by  C.  Alphonso 
S.mith,  Poe  Professor  of  English  in  the  Uni- 
versity OF  Virginia. 

The  year  1809  witnessed  the  birth  of  more  re- 
markable babies  than  any  other  single  year 
of  modern  history.  If  I  were  an  artist  I  should 
try  to  paint  Poe,  Lincoln,  Darwin,  Gladstone, 
Holmes,  and  Chopin  on  one  broad  canvas,  each  a 
baby  but  each  so  characteristiclly  occupied  or 
posed  as  to  prophecy  the  distinctive  fame  of 
coming  years.  Of  these  coming  j'ears,  1909  was 
the  most  significant.  It  was  then  that  histori- 
ans looked  back  over  the  century  and  at- 
tempted a  fredh  appraisal  of  the  sceptered  sover- 
eigns who  had  now  rounded  out  their  first  hun- 
dred years.  Anniversaries  and  commemorative 
e.xe''cises  were  held  in  our  own  land  and  in  for- 
eign lands.  If  the  name  of  Poe  did  not  lead  all 
the  rest,  it  was  surpassed  by  none  in  the  interest 
awakened,  in  the  number  of  places  where  exer- 
cises were  held,  and  in  the  international  acclaim 
rendered  his  work.  At  the  University  of  Virginia, 
in  Baltimore,  in  London,  in  Paris,  and  in  Ber- 
lin, Poe's  birthday  was  celebrated  as  no  other 
American  poet's  birthday  had  ever  before  been 
Celebrated . 

And  yet  the  popular  conception  of  the  man's 
real  service  remains  strangely  vague.  As  a  poet 
there  are  thousands  of  Americans  who  still  tbink 
of  him  only  as  '"the  jingle  man;''  and  as  a  prose 
wi-itiM-  they  consider  him  merely  a  "niannfac- 
tui'er  iif  cidd  creeps  and  a  maker  of  shivers."  If 
this  U'-re  all,  his  international  fame  would  lie 
not  O'dy  iiie.K|>ncalile  but  a  stinging  iudictmeut 
of  the  lilei-ary  taste  of  two  worlds. 


Four  Services. 
As  I  see  it,  Poe  has  influenced  world  literature 
and  world  thought  in  four  ways.  These  are  not 
all,  but  they  are  indisputable.  Let  us  concede 
at  once  that  he  had  his  weaknesses  both  of  char- 
acter and  of  ability.  Indeed  his  limitations  are 
as  marked  as  his  achievements.  But  let  us 
remember  that  America  has  produced  no  genius 
whose  life  has  been  so  mercilessly  probed,  whose 
every  word  and  act  has  been  so  publicly  blazoned, 
whose  motives  have  been  so  relentlessly  scrutin- 
ized, as  he  whose  dust  hallows  this  churchyard. 
Nothing  better  has  been  said  about  him  than 
was  said  by  John  Henry  Boner  in  his  lines  on 
Poe's  Cottage  at  Fordham  : 

"  Here  throush  this  lowly  portal, 

^lade  sacved  by  his  name, 
Unheralded,  immortHl, 

The  mortal  went  aud  came. 
And  fate  that  then  denied  him, 

And  envy  that  decried  him, 
And  malice  that  belied  him, 

Have  cenotaphed  his  fame." 

(1)  A  Discoverer  in  the  PiEalm  of  Meter 
AND  Rhythm. 

Poe  has  been  a  constructive  force,  first,  in  the 
realm  of  poetic  form.  I  say  discoverer  advisedly, 
not  inventor.  Men  do  not  invent  new  rime 
combinations  or  new  stanzaic  forms.  These 
forms  were  already  existent;  they  lay  latent, 
waiting  for  some  one  to  call  them  into  approving 
consciousness.  Now  Poe  was  a  ceaseless  experi- 
menter in  sound  combinations,  line  combina- 
tions and  stanzaic  com l)i nations.  His  mastery 
of  repetition  and  parallelism  has  permanently 
enricheil  tlie  resources  of  English  poetry.  Tenny- 
son would  never  have  written  the  Ballad  of  Oriana, 
and  Kiiig-liy  could  never  have  written  The  Sands 
of  Bee,  if  Poe  li.id  ui.t  blaZed  the  way  to  the  pe- 
culiar  form    of    icpciiiuu    that    each    employs. 


146 


OLD  MARYLAND. 


Tnl^e,  also,  the  matter  of  new  stanzaic  forms.  So 
far  as  I  know,  no  new  stanza  had  lieen  coined  in 
Englisli  literature  since  Spencer's  time  till  Poe 
appeared.  The  stanzaic  structure  of  the  Raven, 
of  To  Helen,  and  of  Ulalurne  are  new  creations. 
It  was  instantly  recognized  that  Poe  had  done  a 
new  tiling  in  these  poems.  The  stanzaic  unit 
was  a  discovery  of  immen-e  significance.  Therl, 
too,  his  rime  combinations,  especially  hi^  use  of 
alternate  long  and  short  vowels,  widened  appre- 
ciably the  gamut  of  poetic  effects.  These  things 
can  be  treated  only  very  briefly  in  a  short 
a<ldress,  but  the  evidence  is  abundant  t'lat  no 
other  poet  of  his  time  revealed  so  many  unknown 
resources  in  poetic  technique  as  Po". 

(2)  A  Pioneer  in  the;  Short  Story. 

The  short  story  is  the  most  distinctive  contri- 
bution that  America  has  made  to  the  recognized 
types  (it  literature,  and  both  in  theory  and  prac- 
tice Poe  is  the  founder  of  the  American  short 
story  as  distinguished  from  the  story  that  is 
merely  short.  As  I  had  occasion  to  speak  in 
ISaltimore  a  few  months  ago  on  this  theme,  let 
me  merely  remind  you  that  more  books  have 
recently  been  written  about  the  American  short 
story  than  about  any  other  phase  of  American 
literature,  and  that  Poe's  constructive  primacy 
is  recognized  both  at  home  and  abroad.  "Poe 
first  laid  down  the  principles,"  says  Professor 
Braiider  Matthews,  "which  governed  his  own 
construction  and  which  have  been  quoted  very 
often  because  they  have  been  accepted  by  the 
masters  of  the  short  story  in  every  modern 
language."  Poe's  phrase,  "totality  of  effect," 
sums  up  adnjirably  his  point  of  view.  It  was  a 
formula  from  which  he  never  swerved  a  hair's 
breadth.  I  should  like  to  suggest  the  phrase 
"convergence  of  details"  as  embodying  also  his 
distinctive  contribution.  There  are  no  otiose 
phrases  or  parallel  lines  in  Ids  be/t  stories.  From 
the  first  word  the  lines  begin  to  converge  toward 
tlie  predetermined  and  prearranged  effect.  In 
all  lands  his  stories  have  been  fruitful  of  sugges- 
tion ;  not  because  they  brought  a  new  message 
but    because   they  showed   a  faultless  method  of

embodying  whatever  a  writer  of  narrative  had  to 
tell.  For  preachers  and  political  speakers  there 
is  no  better  model  than  that  estaldished  by  Poe. 
His  motto  was  not  merely  brevity,  but  brevity 
plus  effectiveness. 

(3)  The  Exponent  of  Self-Consciousness 

IN    LiTBRATDRE. 

Poe  stands  at  the  parting  of  the  ways  in  the 
question  of  self-consciousness  in  art.  Does 
genius  act  spontaneously  or  self-consciously  ? 
The  question  is  an  old  one  and  a  large  one  and  is 
usually  stated  badly.  Poe,  at  any  rate,  stands 
for  conscious  and  painstaking  craflsmansliip. 
Kant  had  said  that  genius  is  wholly  unconscious 
of  its  own  operations.  My  own  .ojiinion  is  that 
Poe  is  much  nearer  the  ultimate  truth  in  this 
matter  than  Kant,  but  I  wish  now  onl.y  to  sug- 
gest that  when  Poe  wrote  the  Philo-:nphy  of  Com- 
position (1846)  he  touched  a  big  thought  in  a 
vital  way  and  furnished  the  chief  whetstone  on 
which  foreign  critics,  wliether  pro  or  con,  have 
sharpened  their  critical  knives,  lie  was  thus  a 
constructive  force  not  only  by  what  he  did  but 
by  what  he  said  as  to  how  he  did  it.  Two  cita- 
tions will  show  how  significant  Poe's  i^elfconsci- 
ous  analysis  of  his  own  technique  has  been.  Poe 
once  called  this  self-attentiveness  "a  curse,"  but 
the  English  critic,  Arthur  Raiisome,  in  his 
recent  Life  of  Poe  <levotes  an  entire  chapter  to 
"Self-Conscious  Technique,"  an'd  begins  by  say- 
ing: 

"Now  this  is  the  'curse'  that  gave  us  Leonar-

In  tliis  respect  he  is  distinctively  American  and

lliought." 

(4)    Tll:5    U.K7KALKR   OF    A    DISTINCTIVE 

Ajirricanism. 
This  was  one  of  I'ne's  unconscious  services  but, 
I  lielieve,  none  the  less  real.  I  can  merely  indi- 
cate ib  in  outline.  You  notice  tliat  Ewers  tries 
to  find  in  Poe  somelliing  distinctively  American. 
Whether  sufcessful  or  not  tlie  German  critic 
illustrate?  in  his  search  a  new  attitude  toward 
Poe  and  a  new  atti'ude  toward  Americanism. 
There  was  a  time  (it  is  with  us  yet)  when 
critics  thought  that  no  writer  could  be 
American  who  (5id'  hot  embody  in  his  work 
American  history,  American  scenery,  American 
geography,  American  traditions,  or  American 
characters.  I  hope,  that  day  is  passing.  I  am 
at  least  convinced  that  it  will  pass  and  that  it 
will  pass  via  a  right  appreciation  of  what  Poe 
has  done.  Byron  and  Browning  are  essentially 
representative  of  their  tiine  and  as  truly  English 
as  Wordsworth,  though  the  note  of  locality  in 
the  narrower  sense  is  negligible  in  the  works  of 
both.  Nationalism  is  not  physical  but  spiritual. 
It  is  to  be  sought  in  the  extent  to  which  a  writer 
illustrates  the  essential  characteristic  of  his 
people.  For  at  least  iifteen  years  foreign  critics 
have  been  trying  to  appraise  Poe  in  terms  of  a 
distinctively  American  product.  Formerly  they 
declai'ed  that  he  was  utterly  un-American,  not 
only  in  thcine  but  in  essential  genius.  The 
changed  attitude  is  significant.  It  means  not 
only  that  Poe  is  being  better  understood  but  that 
he  is  the  means  by  which  America  and  Ameri- 
canism are  being  better  understood.  To  my 
mind  Poe's  Americanism  lies  not  in  his  theme

but  in  his  c  )nstructive  genius.  He  thought  in 
terms  of  structure.  He  is  to  be  c'a.se<^i  among 
our  great  builders.  Now  the  very  essence  of 
Americanis  n  is  constructiveness.  Poe's  Ameri-

tion ^f  nieans  lo  end,  in  the  quick  realization  of

Dr.  Barnett,  who  died  in  this  city  on  October  4, 
1911, was  born  on  the  old  Barnett  plantation  just 
outside  the  cityof  Mpntgoiiiery;'  Alabama,  on  Sep- 
tember 15,  1877.  He'"spent  his  cliildhood  and 
early  youth  on  this  farm  and  attended  the  public 
schools.  Upon  the  death  of  his  father  the  family 
moved  into  Montgomery  and  Dr.  Harnett  entered 
the  private  school  for  young  men  "conducted  by 
Professor  Stark  where  he  completed  his  prelim- 
inary education.  He  then  entered  the  employ  of 
Messrs.- 'G.  A.  Kn<jlte  .&  Co.,  well  known  phar- 
macists of  Montgom'erj',  wdiere  he  remained  for 
several  years  gaining  a. valuable  and  practical 
experience  in  retail  plufrmaby.  Deciding  to  com- 
plete his  pharmacedlicar'e'ducatioiT,  he  came  to 
Baltimore  and  entered  the  Maryland  college  of 
Pharmacy,  now  the  De'partTnent  of  Pharmacy  of 
the  University,  in  Septemljer  1897  and  graduated 
therefrom  with  honors  on  ^fay  19,  1899,  with  the 
degree  of  Graduate  iil'Tharinacy.  After  ^a  short 
rest  he  took  up  a  posf-gradtiate  course  in  the  Col- 
lege  in  the  same  year  and  receiyecT  .we  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Pharmacy  in  May  IHUct!  being  the  first 
to  receive  this  degree  in  course  Jrbuitne  college. 
He  was  then  employed  by  Messrs"  Hynson,  West- 
cott  &  Co.  and  also  assisted  Dr. Base  in  tUe  Chem- 
ical Laboratory  of'the  College  during  the  winter 
of  1900-01.  In  August  1901  he  gave  up  these  posi- 
tions and  became  connected  with  The  Burrough 
Brothers  Manufacturing  Company, manufacturing 
pharmacists  of  tins  city, having  charge  of  their  lab- 
oriitoiies.  He  resigned  this  position  in  February 
1901  to  enter  tlie  eiiiplcj'  oi''MeSfrs.  Sharp  tt

spent  in  Atlantic  city  and  Baltimore  undergoing 
treatment  with  the  hope  of  restoring  his  health. 
He  was  at  Blue  Ridge  Summit  during  the  sum- 
mer and  only  returned  to  Baltimore  about  two 
weeks  before  his  death.  Since  the  fall  of  1906  Dr. 
Barnett  had  been  Demonstrator  in  Pharmacy  in 
the  Department  of  Pharmacy  and  was  a  successful 
teacher.  ^ 

He  was  an  accomplished  and  capable  pharma- 
ci!=t  and  the  Department  oj  Pharmacy,  the  business 
with  which  he  was  conneicted  and  the  profession 
lost  in  his  death,  a  young  man  who  had  been  a 
genuine  credit  to  them  and  to  himself,  and  who 
gave  every  promise  of  achievement.  He  took  a 
great  interest  in  his  life  work  both  from  the  bus- 
iness and  professional  standpoint  and  was  ever 
ready  in  his  unassuming  manner  to  lend  his  help 
and  his  influence  to  any  movement  of  progiess. 

He  contributed  to  the  proceedings  of  the 
American  and  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical 
Associations  of  both  of  which  he  was  an  active 
member,  and  to  the  pbafmaceutical  press.  His 
work  always  showed  a  thorough  study  and  grj,sp 
of  the  subject. 

Whileof  a  retiring  disposition,  Dr.  Barnett  was 
very  popular  among  his  associates  and  made  last- 
ing friendships  and  was,  to  quote  a  close  friend, 
"a  truly  unique  personality".  He  was,  therefore, 
best  known  to  those  fortunate  to  possess  his  close 
friendship.  Born  and  brought  up  on  an  old  South- 
ern plantation  of  the  best  typ)e  and  possessing  a 
disposition  and  character  to  suit,  he  absorbed  its 
best  traditions,  and  with  his  true  Southern  ac- 
cent, his  optimism,  his  droll  wit  and  kindly,  sym- 
pathetic nature,  he  was  "a  young  gentleman  of 
the  old  school"  deserving  the  confidence  of  every 
one. 

Since  coming  to  Baltimore  he  had  made  his 
home  most  of  the  time  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Samuel 
M.  Duvall,  on  Madison  avenue,  to  whom  he  was 
an  adopted  son.  He  and  Miss  Rachael  Sills,  the 
daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Sills,  of  this  city,  were 
married  at  Grace  Episcopal  Church,  on  April  22, 
1909  and  made  their  home  at  2418  Barclay  street. 
Dr.  Barnett  was  a  member  of  the  Eutaw  Place 
Baptist  Church  in  which  he  took  a  great  interest 
and  his  funeral  services  were  conducted  by  the 
pastor.  Rev  Mr.  Dodd.  Interment  was  in  Loudon 
Park  Cemetry.  He  is  survived  by  his  widow,  two 
married  sisters  who  live  in  the  South  and  many 
friends.

taining  to  class  and  laboratory  work  and  the  re- 
mainder to  social  events. 

We  are  glad  to  note  the  stand  of  the  pharmacy 
students  on  the  question  of  athletics.  Several 
days  ago  there  was  a  massmeeting  of  the  Depart- 
ment and  $50  was  contributed  to  the  Associa- 
tion. Great  spirit  was  manifested  and  on  the 
whole  reflected  credit  on  the  loyalty  of  the  boys 
of  that  department  to  the  University  in  general. 

The  Junior  Class  has  entered  and  gotten  down 
to  good  hard  work.  At  the  Academic  Day  exer- 
cises they  were  in  evidence  with  a  large  delega- 
tion and  quite  a  handsome  banner. 

Since  the  opening  of  the  University  we  have 
suffered  the  loss  of  one  of  our  valued  instructors, 
Dr.  J.  J.  Barnett,  who  assisted  Dr.  Oaspari  in 
the  PharmaceuticMl  Laboratory.  About  a  year 
ago  he  contracted  consumption  and  finally  suc- 
cumbed during  October. 

On  Friday  evening,  November  17,  the  Faculty 
tendered  the  students  of  the  department  a  very 
enjoyable  reception  at  Tottle's  Hall,  North  Ave. 
and  Charles  St.  The  affair  was  a  brilliant  suc- 
cerfS  and  app  eciated  to  the  fullest  extent  by  the 
students  and  their  lady  friends.  The  entire 
faculty  and  students  were  in  attendance.  After 
a  very  entertaining  and  interesting  program  of 
addresses  and  several  vocal  selections  by  Mr.  E. 
Rf.  Duvall,  the  orchestra  played  a  few  strains  of 
"The  Pink  Lady"  and  with  it  dancing  started. 
At  eleven  o'clock  a  dainty  and  well-prepared 
luncheon  was  served,  after  which  dancing  was 
continued.  During  the  intermission,  great  en- 
thusiasm was  manifested  on  the  part  of  the  boys, 
who  sang  college  songs  and  cheered  tne  faculty 
and  the  ladies  frequently.  We  are  glad  the 
Faculty  has  made  the  reception  an  institution, 
to  be  held  annually,  because  it  creates  the  proper 
spirit  among  the  students. 

Charles  O.  Laney,  Phar.  D.  '07,  LL.  B.  '10,

DEPARTMENT  OF  DENTISTRY. 

The  fall  examinations  are  completed  and  the 
regular  work  of  the  year  is  progressing  rapidly, 
the  ambition  of  the  students  to  round  out  a  full 
year's  study  being  evidenced  by  their  interested 
attention  to  work. 

Dr.  Heatwole  has  changed  his  method  of  in- 
struction in  materia  medica  and  therapeutics,  by 
dividing  his  lectures  into  graded  courses,  lecturing 
on  the  principle  of  the  subjects  to  the  Freshmen 
and  giving  a  more  advanced  course  to  the 
Juniors.  These  graded  courses  are  of  distinct 
advantage  to  the  classes,  as  they  make  the  sub- 
jects more  intelligible  arid  interesting  \o  the 
beginners  of  the  study  of  medical  science,  and 
give  the  Juniors  tiie  advantage  of  a  longer  and 
more  comprehensive  knowledge  of  them. 

Lectures  on  Pathology  have  been  included  in 
the  senior  year.  Laborisitory  work  in  this  branch 
is  essential  to  dental  students  and  Dr.  Maldeis 
is  conducting  it  in  a  creditable  manner. 

Dr.  B.  Merrill  Hopkinson's  course  of  lectures 
on  oral  hj'giene  is  listened  to  with  interest  by 
the  senior  class,  and  the  introduction  of  this 
sul)ject,  which  is  of  such  importance  to  our  pro- 
fession at  the  present  day,  is  a  distinct  gain, 
making  our  department  feel  that  we  have  grasped 
and  impart  the  real  meaning  of  oral  hygiene. 

This  department  has  accepted  Dr.  Deichmann 
as  the  credential  examiner  for  those  wishing  to 
enter  as  dental  students.  We  are  thus  fulfilling 
the  requirements  of  the  regents  of  New  York. 
Dr.  Deichmann  is  also  examiner  of  all  profes- 
sional schools  in  Baltimore. 

Three  graduates  of  the  Class  of  1911  obtained 
the  license  to  practice  in  Maryland  before  the 
Md.  State  Board  at  the  recent  examinations,  viz. : 
Dr.  Samuel  Roth,  of  Maryland,  and  Drs.  A.  D. 
narrower  and  S.  B.  Johnston,  of  Virginia. 

The  senior  class  has  elected  the  following 
ollicers:  Mes.';rs.  Houston,  president;  Ortel,  vice^ 
president;  Patterson,  secretary;  Blanchard, 
treasurer;  Dulany,  historian;  Sinay,  sergeant-

Judge  Henry  Stockbridge,  appointed  to  the 
Court  of  Appeals  last  Spring  by  Governor  Cro- 
thers  to  fill  the  vacancy  caused  by  the  death  of 
Judge  Schnmcker,  was  elected  on  November  7  to 
represent  Baltimore  City  in  the  Court  of  Appeals. 
His  election  was  due  to  his  great  personal  popu- 
larity, as  shown  by  the  fact  that  he  ran  well, 
ahead  of  other  Republicans  on  the  ticket.  His 
Honor  has  greatly  ad  led  to  the  valae  of  the  Law 
Library,  by  contributing  some  six  hundred  vol- 
umes thereto.  Judge  Stockbridge  is  lecturing 
on  International  F^aw  but  lias  stopped  his  lectures 
on  Executors  and  Administrators.  , 

Judge  Carroll  T.  Bond  is  lecturing  on  the  lat- 
ter subject.  Judge  Bond  received  the  highest 
vote  of  any  of  his  associates  on  the  ticket  at  the 
November  election;  he  added  great  strength  to 
liis  party,  and  the  Supreme  Bench  is  fortunate  in 
retaining  his  services. 

Mr.  Edgar  H.  ]\IcBride,|..'W,  is  taking  a  post- 
graduate course  at  Yale  University. 
.;  Mr.  Samuel  Want  is  keeping  a  digest  of  the

The  evidence  regarding  the  insufficiency  of  tlie 
reports  of  the  State  Board  Medical  Examinations 
only  confirms  what  we  already  knew.  These 
reports  should  be  prepared  with  extraordinary 
care;  mistakes  in  them  are  inadmissible.  They 
should  also  be  made  complete  that  all  maj'  be 
able  to  understand  them;  in  their  present  form 
they  are  a  sealed  letter.

lawyer  of  ability  and  integrity  and  a  man  of 
sterling  character  and  independence  of  thought 
and  action.  His  public  record  in  the  City  Coun- 
cil and  Legislature  proves  this  to  be  (rue.  He 
is  the  peer  of  any  man  who  has  filled  the  office  of 
State's  Attorney  since  I  have  been  a  member  of 
the  Bar.  He  will  discharge  the  duties  of'  his 
office  without  fear  or  favor  and  will  be  free  from 
the  dictation  of  any  man  or  coterie  of  men.  The 
prosecution  of  the  presented  election  officials  can 
be  safely  committed  to  his  charge."  '

The  celebration  of  the  one  hundred  and  fourth 
birthdai/  of  the  University  of  Maryland  emphasizes 
once  more  the  long  and  useful  activity  of  one  of 
the  oldest  and  most  excellent  institutions  of  the 
kind  in  the  United  States.  In  1807  the  General 
Assembly  of  Maryland  granted  a  charter  for  the

creation  of  the  College  of  jMedicine  of  Maryland. 
Five  yenrs  later  it  received  permissioii  to  add 
faculties  of  divinity,  law  and  art.  While  the 
f.iculty  of  divinit.y  never  materialized,  other 
liraMches  of  learning  have  t<ince  found  a  welcome. 
In  1905  an  academic  department  was  acquired 
tlirough  a  mei'ger  with  St.  John's  College, 
Annapolis,  an  institution  which  under  the  name 
of  King  William's  School  was  founded  in  1696. 
A  list  of  the  graduates  of  the  University  would 
contain  names  of  m  iny  of  whom  the.  State  and 
nation  have  good  cause  to  beproul.  In  p.irticu- 
lar,  numbers  of  leading  lawyers  and  d  ictors  have 
laid  the  cornerstone  of  their  success  in  this  cen- 
tury-old home  of  learning. — Briltlmore  Sun. 


We  learn  that  a  meeting  of  students  from  the 
Now  England  States  was  held  on  Nov.  8,  for  the 
purpose  of  founding  a  ""Neiv  England  Club." 
Last  year  there  was  61  students  here  from  that 
section,  viz:  Conn.,  19;  Maine,  7;  Mass.,  15; 
N.  11.,  5;  R.  I.,  14;  Vt.,  4..  We  have  had  a 
South  Carolina  Club  for  26  years  and  it  has  been 
of  great  help  to  the  boys  from  the  Palmetto 
State. 

This  is  a  most  commendable  project  and  we 
will  be  glad  to  learn  of  its  success.  For  many 
years  we  have  urged  the  formation  of  a  New  Eng- 
land Branch  Alumni  Association  and  such  a  club 
might  well  become  the  nucleus  for  it.  These 
young  men  going  home  with  tlie  associations  and 
traditions  acquired  here,  would  have  a  strong 
tendency  to  keep  up  their  organization. 


After  more  than  a  century  of  honorable  and 
useful  endeavor,  the  medical  school  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland  finds  itself  confronted  with 
new  conditions  and  problems.  The  times  have 
changed  and  we  must  change  with  them.  For 
some  months  we  have  been  appealing  to  our 
alumni  and  others  for  assistance.  The  object  of 
this  effort  which  is  entirely  altruistic  on  our  part, 
should  appeal  to  the  loyalty,  gratitude  and  gen- 
erosity of  those  who  have  received  marked  bene- 
fits from  the  institution.  It  ought  not  to  be 
necRSsary  to  beg  such  individuals  for  contribu- 
tions   to    the    endoipment  fund,    but  they  should

Recognizing  the  iinpcrative /Ticccs-ity  of  placing 
our  srhool  on  a  soliil  basis,  the  writer  has  under- 
taken a  task  that  is  exceptionally  distasteful  to 
him.  lie  has  no  e.xpcclaiiim  of  .any  personal

in  Nov.  Ilnsp.  Bu'l. 


There  is  only  one  day  in  the  whole  year  when 
tea<'bers  and  students — in  fact  all  connected  with 
the  Universily — (U)ine  together  an  1  that  is  Aca- 
demic Day.  In  i-  tlu;  only  occasion,  therefore, 
when  line  can  get  a.  vi-ible  impression  of  its  size, 
its  activity,  its  importance.  Of  course  an  insti- 
tution is  not  to  be  judged  alone  by  numbers;  a 
multitude  may  be  attracted  by  a  low  standard 
and  ease  in  getting  through.  IJut,  other  things 
being  equal,  numbers  will  win.  Deserted  lec- 
ture rooms  and  campus  will  i.ot  be  likely  to  be 
attractive  to  teachers  or  students. 

Our  Academic  Day  consequently  acquires  a 
very  great  significance.  It  brings  out  all  our 
forces,  it  shows  ourselves  as  well  as  others  what 
we  are,  the  degree  of  our  loyalty,  our  esprit- 
de-corps,  our  solidarity.  The  strong  evidence 
that  these  qualities  are  rapidly  on  tlie  increase 
among  us  is  very  gratifying.  One  could  not  look 
into  the  faces  of  those  thousand  or  more  young 
men,  in  the  pews  of  Westminster  Church,  last 
Monday  week,  all  radiant  with  interest  and 
hope,  applauding  every  allusion  to  the  greater 
university  of  the  future,  without  catching  a  por- 
tion of  their  enthusiasm  and  feeling  how  helpful, 
how  potential  for  good  such  a  body  is  to  a  uni- 
versity. Let  us  try  to  instill  into  the  minds  of 
our  students  lo7e  and  veneration  for  this  institu- 
tion, so  that  when  they  leave  it  they  will  carry 
with  them  sentiments  that  will  cause  them 
always  to  cherish  it  and  work  for  its  betterment.

vvitb  its  319,000  inliabitiiiits  nnd  its  enormous 
growth  in  recent  years.  It  i.n  2.5  miles  from  the 
Pacific  and  at  an  equal  distance  from  the  Bierra 
Madre  Mountains  on  the  east.  The  clim&te  is 
splendid — dry  nnd  eqnable,  never  oppressively 
hot  or  too  cold.  The  attractions  of  the  place 
caused  the  meeting  of  the  As-ociation  to  suffer. 
The  delegates  registering  iiumliered  2153.  A 
peculiar  sight  was  the  presence  of  oil  wells  in  the 
yards  and  out  in  the  ocean.  On  the  fourth  day, 
the  meeting  being  cut  short  on  the  third,  the 
delegates  attended  a  Spanish  luncheon  and  fe:e 
given  by  Mr.  lUisch,  the  beer  millionaire,  at  his 
sunken  gardens  at  Pasadena,  10  miles  away.  A 
visit  to  the  Island  of  Santa  Catalina,  27  miles  off 
the  coast,  isdesciibed.  The  most  interesting  thing 
there  is  the  marine  gardens,  or  aquatic  plant  and 
fish  life  sem  thi-ough  the  gIa^s-l)ottomed  boats. 
Suburban  eleeliic  lines  radiate  in  all  directions 
and  there  are  many  places  of  interest  near  by. 
Prof.  Winslow  met  our  dislinguislied  alumnus, 
Dr.  Rupert  Blue,  who  has  achieved  fame  in 
eradicating  the  plague  from  California.  The 
■  articlts  in  Ihn  Bidletin  are  handsomely  illustrated 
and  very  interesting.

The  newspapers  announce  that  Mr.  J.  Harry 
Tregoe,  '05,  the  treasurer  of  the  Endowment 
Fund  of  the  University,  has  been  elected  secre- 
tary-treasurer of  the  National  Association  of 
Credit  Men,  at  a  salary  of  115,000.  He  held 
the  office  of  president  of  the  same  association  in 
1902.  It  is  said  that  he  has  notified  hi.s  willing- 
ness to  accept  the  position,  and  that  he  will 
enter  upon  his  duties  in  New  York  on  January  1. 

Whilst  we  feel  gratified  at  our  colleague's  good 
fortune,  the  thought  of  losing  him  in  the  import- 
ant ollice  which  he  has  held  in  the  affairs  of  the 
University  fills  us  with  regret,  for  it  will  be  diffi- 
cult to  fill  the  vacancy.  As  a  practical  banker 
and  stock  dealer,  he  is  peculiarly  fitted  for  it  and 
he  has  given  his  services  most  generously  and 
freely  to  the  service  of  the  institution.  Still, 
though  parting  with  hiai  with  regret,  we  wish 
him  all  success  and  prosperity  in  the  new  field 
upon  which  he  has  entered,  and  doubtless  what 
has  been  our  loss  will  be  others'  gain.

We  cannot  but  contrast  the  sentiment  for  union 
with  St.  John^s,  which  was  so  frequently  and  so 


loudly  made  known  on  Acadinnic  Day,  with  the 
attituile  of  an  en.inent  member  of  the  Bai-,  who 
was  also  a  Regent  and  officer  of  tbe  University, 
some  seven  or  eight  years  ago.  This  gimlleman, 
when  representati'ins  were  made  to  him  as  to 
the  need  of  an  academic  department  and  especi- 
ally of  a  union  with  St.  John's,  which  all'orded 
the  only  apparent  means  of  securing  it,  replied: 
"What  do  you  want  with  an  aculemic  depart' 
nient,  what  do  you  want  with  St.  John's;  do  you 
mean  to  antagonize  the  Johns  Hopkins?" 

It  maybe  that  there  are  some  in  the  University 
who  still  hold  this  gentleman's  opinions  on  the 
subject.  We  are  compelled  to  say,  nevertheless, 
that  we  Cannot  see  how  they  can  reconcile  surh 
an  attitude  wi  h  true  fiicndsliip  to  the  institu- 
tion. For  it  is  this  very  uiuoii  that  makes  us  a 
Uniuersiti/;  and,  without  it  we  could  not  claim 
recognition  as  such.  CJo  back  six  years  and 
recall  the  condition  of  things  here.  How  help- 
less, how  ho|)eless  we  were  in  the  face  of  oir 
great  deficiency  I  We  had  no  standing  among  the 
universities  of  the  country;  many,  within  as 
well  as  without,  denied  that  we  were  a  univi.  rsity. 

But  a  change  has  taken  place.  With  each  suc- 
ceeding year,  and  with  the  strengthening  of  the

Hall,  on  Nov.  1-3,  for  the  benefit  of  the  Home 
for  Widows  and  Orphans  of  Physicians,  was 
highly  successful.  The  attendance  increased 
each  day  and  if  it  had  lasted  a  week,  we  would 
have  trebled  our  receipts.  The  booths  were  taste- 
fully decorated,  representing  the  months  of  the 
year,  the  supper  was  well  served  and  abundant 
and  the  concert  was  fine.  Furthermore  the 
prices  were  moderate. 

The  address  delivered  by  Dr.  Welch,  at  the 
opening,  was  most  complimentary  and  assuring. 
He  spoke  of  the  need  and  merit  of  the  project,  of 
the  excellence  of  the  management,  of  the  national 
scope  of  the  institution.  A  handsome  souvenir 
of  the  occasion  was    gotten   otit,  which  gives  a

endorsement  we  feel  greatly  encouraged. 

The  following  letter  from  His  Eminence,  the 
Cardinal,  is  also  most  gratifying: 

"Cai'dinal's  Residence, 
40S  N.  Charles  St., 

Balto.,  Oct.  25,  1911. 

Dear  Mrs.  Cjrdell:    I  am  in  receipt  of  your  es- 

teemcil  favor  of  yesterday's  date,  and  with  great 

pleasure  do  I  add  my  word  of  endorsement  and 

enco'ira^jement  to  the  project  you  have  in  view  of 

fomiding  a    Home  for  Widows  and  Orphans   of 

Physicians.     The    project    is   a    ni  jst    deserving 

one   and  most  sincerely  do  I  wish  you  success  in 

your  undertaking. 

Very  sincerely  yours, 

J.  Card.  Gibbons."

Continuing  his  account  of  his  "Hurried  Trip 
Through  Eurojx'^  (Oct.  Bull.),  Dr.  Asldiy  says 
that  after  three  days  of  strenuous  life  he  left 
London  and  crossed  the  channel  in  a  rough  sea 
to  Dieppe.  Thence  he  traveled  through  a  rich 
agricultural  district  to  Rouen,  on  the  Seine,  and 
up  this  river  to  Paris.  The  methods  of  French 
farming  are  pleasantly  described.  In  Paris  he 
stopped  at  the  London  and  New  York  Hotel  on 
account  of  its  central  location  and  large  English- 
speaking  patronage.  He  admired  Notre  Dame 
but  was  not  impressed  by  it  as  he  had  been  by 
St.  Paul's.  The  Pantheon,  modeled  after  the 
building  of  the  same  name  in  Rome,  contains 
the  statues  and  memorials,  and  (in  its  under- 
ground vaults)  the  tombs  of  great  men,  and  fills 
the  role  in  Paris  of  Westminster  Abbey.  The 
Louvre  is  a  great  storehouse  of  art.  "The  most 
lasting  impression  made  is  that  Paris  is  a  most 
beautiful  city,  surpassing,  in  my  own  opinion, 
any  of  the  large  cities  I  visited  in  Europe."

streets  and  sidewalks,  one  might  imagine  himself 
in  B:dtimore.  The  cir-ride  fro-n  Paris  to  Inter- 
laken,  Switzerland,  on  July  21,  was  at  first 
exti'emely  warm,  crowded  and  uncomfortable, 
and  no  water  was  to  be  bad.  But  when  the 
Alps  were  reached  everything  was  changed  and 
the  sceiierj'  was  indescribably  iieautiful.  Passing 
by  Berne,  the  Swiss  capiial,  he  reiudied  the 
K'yal  George  Hotel  at  Inierlakeii,  at  9.30  P.  M., 
13  hours  from  Pai-is.  In  all  his  travels,  cleanli- 
ness, flowers  and  attractive  homes  were  every- 
where. He  did  not  see  a  single  intoxicated 
person,  nor  one  that  was  in  the  least  disagree- 
able, rude  or  impolite.

Since  our  last  issue  we  have  received  ?10  from 
L.  Greif  &Bi-o.,  and  §25  from  Dr.  .1.  Mason 
Hundley,  annual  cash  payments  to  the  Universiti/ 
Endowment  Fiuid.  We  take  this  occasion  to  say 
that  a  considerable  number  of  the  subscribers  to 
this  fund  are  in  ai'rears,  some  as  far  hack  as  190S, 
the  total  being  some  hundreds  of  dollars.  These 
gentlemen  have  been  notified  of  their  indebted- 
ness repeatedly  and  it  is  hard  to  understand  how 
they  reconcile  their  neglect  to  their  consciences. 
We  have  their  signed  promise  to  pay.  Of  course  a 
signed  promise  is  no  more  binding  on  honorable 
men  than  an  oi'al  prondse.  But  the  signature  is 
a  constant  and  permanent  evidence  of  the  debt 
while  the  mere  verbal  promise  might  be  forgot- 
ten or  questioned. 

Some  of  our  subscribei-s  seem  to  think  they 
can  transfer  their  si:djscriptions  to  tlie  Pathologi- 
cal Fund,  which  is  being  collected  by  Prof.  A\'ins- 
low,  and  we  note  that  manj'  of  them  have  made 
cash  payments  to  this  Fund.  But  they  had 
already  made  a  promise  to  pay  to  the  Trustees  of 
the  Endoument  Fund  for  the  University,  and  no 
payment  to  the  Pathological  or  any  other  fund 
exempts  them  from  this  obligation.  The  Patho- 
logical Fund  is  necessary,  it  is  imperative,  and 
every  one  of  us  should  give  to  it  as  liberally  as 
he  can.  But  it  is  no  more  necessary  than  the 
University  Fund.  The  medical  school  will  soon 
go  down  unless  it  has  a  strong  University  to  sup- 
port it;  it  depends  for  its  future  and  its  perma- 
nence upon  the  University.  In  the  long  run  (it 
may  be  in  the  short  run)  we  will  all  realize  this 
more  than  we  do  now.  It  is  our  belief  that  all 
of  our  alumni  should  contribute  to  the  general 
fund  for  the  support  of  the  University.

Well  be  proud.

The  lOtth  Aradeinic  Dnj  of  the  University  was 
Cilebr.ifce  1  on  Nov.  13,  with  the  usual  pomp  and 
circumstance.  The  weather  was  fine.  The 
battalion  of  caiK-ts  fnmi  St.  Jolin's  came  up  on 
the  electric  cars  and  marched  to  the  rendezvous 
headed  by  its  excellent  band.  The  procession 
formed  at  the  University  buildings,  and  pro- 
ceeded to  Westminster  Church  at  10.30.  The 
building  was  thronged  with  students,  alumni 
and  visitors. 

The  ceremonies  began  with  prayer  by  Rev. 
Thomas  Grier  Koontz,  of  the  Church.  The 
greeting  was  given  by  the  Vic  Chancellor,  Dr. 
Thoni  IS  Fell,  who  presiiled  in  the  absence  of  ihe 
Chancellor,  Governor  Crothers.  Tlie  address  was 
delivereti  by  C.  Alphonso  Smitli,  I'h.  D.,  Lfj.  D., 
Edgar  Allan  Poe  Professor  of  English,  University 
of  Virginia,  his  subject  being  "Poe  as  a  Con- 
structive Force  in  World  Literature."  The  de- 
livery of  this  address  was  most  favorably  received 
and  elicited  much  deserved  applause.  Professor 
Smith  knew  his  subject  thoroughly  and  spoke 
without  notes.  He  possesses  a  tine  presetice,  a 
g  lod  voice,  au  1  clear,  deliberate  enunciation. 
His  lioosevelt  E.Kchange  Professorship  at  Berlin, 
last  year,  where  he  spoke  on  the  same  theme, 
had  given  him  great  eclat,  and  the  surrouiulings 
on  Academic  D.iy  were  well  c  ilculated  co  increase 
the  effect  of  his  utterances.  All  present  niu-t 
have  felt  something  of  the  invisible  presence  of 
the  great  poei's  spirit  hovering  over  the  scene 
and  the  effect  of  his  remains  resting  in  the 
ground  just  out^ide  the  chnrch  door.  It  was  a 
proud  day  for  Americans,  this  gi-and  apotheosis 
of  their  greatest  poet,  and  we  dare  say  that  all 
left  that  hall  with  a  ditiereiit,  a  liii;her  iiupres. 
sion  of  Annrici's  conti-ibution  to  the  literature  of 
the  world.  The  speaker  had  to  rise  and  ackiioul- 
elge  the  applause  th  it  rang  out  and  continued 
several  niinutt^s  at  tie  close  of  his  address. 

To  Professor  .J  ihn  C.  Hemmeler  was  assigned 
llie  duty  uf  presenting  on  behalf  ^f  the  studmls 
of  the  Medical,  Dental  and  Pnarmacy  Depart- 
ments, to  St.. John's  College,  a  handsome  dil

of  the  group  of  University  buildings.  The  paint- 
ing is  40x60  inches  and  represents  the  main 
building,  the  "Pantheon,"  with  the  law,  dental 
and  pharmacy  buil  lings  grouped  abr)iit  it.  Tne 
money  for  the  purchase  of  this  painting  was 
derived  from  the  excess  of  the  receipts  of  the 
1911  year  book  —  Terra  Marhe — which  the  stu- 
dents voted  to  this  purpose.  The  speech  of  accept- 
ance was  made  by  Mr.  Philem')n  H.  Tuck,  of 
the  St.  John's  Board  of  Governors. 

The  music  was  a  notable  feature — as  always — 
of  the  occasion.  It  was  under  charge  of  Profes- 
sor B.  Merrill  Hopkinson,  and  wa*  rendered  by  a 
quartette  consisting  of  Mr.  K'lgir  Paul,  1st  tenor; 
Mr.  Hobart  Smock,  2d  tenor;  'Dr.  B.  Merrill 
Hopkinson,  baritone,  and  .Mr.  Thomas  Ruth, 
bass.  Prof.  Robert  l,(dl  jy  II  iskip,  of  Brown 
Memorial  Church,  the  University  orginist,  was 
the  accompanist.  The  prvigramme  was  as  fol- 
lows :

4.  Quartette  and  Baritone  Solo —

"Watchman,  What  of  the  Night?" 

— Sarjeaiit. 

6.  "March  Militaire."  (Jrand  Organ.  — Sellar. 
The  gr(>atest  enthusiasm  was  manifested  dur- 
ing the  ceremonies,  and  every  allusion  to  a  closer' 
union  between  the  University  and  St.  .Jolm's 
was  received  with  prulont;ed  npplause.  College 
and  class  banners  ai-.d  college  yells  were  in  un" 
u-ual  evidence. 

At  the  close  of  the  e.\eicises  the  students  of 
St.  .Joiui'ti  were  served  w  itii  luncheon  in  Davidge 
Hall. 

The  grave  of  the  Uoet  was  not  forgotten  but

At  dayli^dlt  on  Sept.  20ch  Early  moved  with-

stand  here  "as  this  was  the  only  defensive  point 
in  the  whole  valley."  His  troops  occupiecl  the 
position  from  right  to  left  in  the  following  onler; 
Wharton,  Gordon,  Ramseur's  Division  now 
comirianded  by  Pegiam,  Rode's  Divi,sion,  com- 
manded by  Ramseur,  Lomax  with  the  cavalry,  on 
the  extreme  left.  Wickham,  with  Fitz  Lee's 
cavalry  was  sent  to  hold  the  Luray  ^'alley.  Sheri- 
dan appeared  on  the  afiernoon  of  the  20th.  0  r 
vulneiable  point  was  our  left  near  the  North 
Mountain.  On  the  afternoon  of  the  22  1,  Croc  k 
ft)rced  his  way  through  here  driving  back  Lomax, 
and,  the  rest  of  Sheridan's  forces  now  advancing, 
a  panic  seized  our  troops  who  retired  in  great 
confusion.  Early  saved  his  trains.  The  Federal 
loss  was  400,  the  Confederate  1340,  mostly  pris- 
oners. Early  fell  back  to  Waynesboro  where  on 
the  2()th  he  was  joined  by  Kershaw,  who  had  not 
been  able  to  reach  him  prexiotisly. 

Jly  wounds — while  not  severe — might  easily 
have  become  serious  by  neglei-t.  Jly  leg  chiefly 
troubled  me.  The  ball  which  passed  through 
my  boot,  had  torn  tiie  flesh  off  just  above  tiie 
outer  ankle.  Its  very  want  of  seriousness  led 
me  to  neglfct  it  and  I  was  so  imoatieiit  to 
return  to  the  connnand,  that  I  could  barely 
iniUice  myself  to  reinaiii  in  Lynchbuig  about 
tliKee  wi'eks.  During  my  slay  there  I  was  an  in- 
mate of  the  College  Hospital  on  the  hill.  My 
time  passed  rather  drearily .  1  had  nothing  to 
read  an  I  knew  no  one  iu  the  town.  I  was 
gloomy' and  depri  s-ed  and  I  suppo.-e  homesick; 
St)  that  I  returnetl  prematurely  to  the  \'alley. 
The  result  was  that  after  I  reached  camp  my  leg 
became  swt)llen  and  angry-looking,  showing  a 
serious  infection,  and  for  some  days  I  was  inucli 
alajrmed. 

On  Oct.  1,  Early  moved  over  on  the  Valley 
pike,  confronting  the  enemy  near  Hairist)nburg; 
anil,  being  there  joine  1  by  Rosser  with  his 
cavalry,  delernnned  to  attark.  Before  he  could 
do  so  they  retired,  the  Coiifi'deraies  following. 
On  Oct.  9  the  combined  forces  of  Rosser  and 
I.jOnia.x  were  routed  at  ToniV  brook,  three  miles 
south  of  Strasbm-g,  .■  n  1  were  driven  20-odd

Hearing  that  SliLTiilan  was  aliout  to  .=enii 
troop,  to  Grant,  Early  adva'ice  1  to  Fisher's  Hill

Hill,  a  pirt  of  Kersh.iw's  Divi~ion  engaging  and 
repulsing  the  enemy.  He  found  ihe  enemy  in  a' 
strong  position  on  the  north  hank  of  Cedar  Creek. 
The  6th  Corps  had  started  back  to  Grant,  but 
now  returned  to  Sheriilan. 

The  enemy  were  too  strongly  entrenched  to 
attack  in  front,  yet  they  must  he  attacd<ed  or  the 
Confederates  nuist  fall  hack  for  want  of  provi- 
sions and  forage.  ''It  was  of  the  utmost  conse- 
quence," says  Early,  "that  Sheridan  should  be 
prevented  from  sending  troops  to  Grai.t,  and 
General  I,ee  in  a  letter  received  a  <lay  or

left  Hank  was  weak,  as  they  suppo.sed  their  posi- 
tion in  that  quarter  to  he  impregnable.  He, 
therefore,  determined  to  move  a  column  around 
that  way,  between  the  base  of  the  Massanutten 
Mountiiiu,  which  e  ids  abruptly  there,  and  the 
river — North  Fork  of  the  Shenandoah — to  a  ford 
over  the  latter,  helow  the  mouth  of  Cedar  Creek. 

At  2  P.  M.,  Got.  18,  Early  met  his  division 
commanders  and  gave  them  their  final  instruc- 
tions, and  everything  was  made  ready  for  a  move 
that  night.  The  plan  was  for  Gordon,  with  Gor- 
don's, Ramseur's  and  Pegrain's  Divisions  to 
move  arounil  to  the  right,  and  Early  wiih  Ker- 
shaw's and  Whartim's  Divisions  and  all  the 
artillery  to  move  forward  by  the  pike.  Risser 
and  Wickhatn  were  to  advance  upon  our  left 
flank  anil  Lomax  was  to  move  from  Front  Royal 
to  tlie  \'alley  pike. 

The  Federal  Commander  seems  to  have  been 
tlirown  entirely  off'  his  guard  at  this  time  and 
an  offen.^ive  movement  upon  the  part  of  Early's 
shattered  and  beaten  army  was  the  last  thing  he 
expected.  He  was  not  even  present  at  the  open- 
ing of  the  battle.  The  enemy  weie  furthermore 
thrown  off  their  guard  by  a  report  originating 
widi  one  of  Croik's  brigades  on  the  18th. 
tjjat  Early  had  apparently  retreated  up  the 
Valley.

CHARLES   E.  DOHME,  PHAR.  D. 

Afier  an  illness  of  four  years  from  heart 
disease,  and  within  less  than  a  year  of  the  de- 
cease of  his  older  brother,  Ijouis,  Dr.,  Charles  E. 
Dohme,  president  of  the  great  house  of  Sharp 
and  Dohme,  drug  manufacturers,  died  at  his 
home  in  Baltimore,  on  December  7. 

Dr.  Dohme  was  born  at  Obernkirchen, 
Schaumburg,  a  little  principxlity  in  the  north- 
west of  Germany.,  on  March  12,  1843,  and  came  to 
this  counti-y  with  his  parents  in  1851.  He  attend- 
ed Knapp's  Institute,  for  years  one  of  the  most 
flourishing  private  educational  establishments  in 
Baltimore,  and  subsequently  entered  the  drug 
store  of  A.  P.  Sharp,  at  the  southwest  corner  of 
Howard  and  Pratt  streets,  as  an  apprentice, 
serving  the  full  term  of  four  years. 

In  the  clioiee  of  a  vocation.  Dr.  Dohme  was 
largely  influenced  by  bis  eliler  In'olber  Louis, 
who  had  ol)tained  a  position  in  the  store  of  Mr. 
Sharp  some  years  bei'ore.  Like  Louis,  Charles 
matriculated  at  the  .Maryland  College  of  Phar- 
macy and  took  his  degree  there.  He  then  ob- 
tained a  position  as  clerk  in  the  pharmacy  of 
George  L.  Kidwell  it  Son,  'at  Georgetown,  D. 
C,  and  subsequently  went  with  Andrews  and 
Thompson,  on  Baltimore  street,  near  the  falls, 
in  Ihfir  da.yone  of  the  foremost  drug  firms  in 
this  city.  There  he  remainel  until  186G,  when 
he  was  admitted  as  a  partner  in  the  Arm  of  Sharp 
it  Doliine,  ihi  others  interested  being  Louis 
Dohujc  and  Mr.  Sharp,  the  founder  of  the  busi- 
ness . 

A\'hen  Dr.  Dohme  became  a  partner  in  the 
firm  lil'  Sharp  it  Dohme  he  was  pLiced  in  charge 
of  tbo  maiufacturing  di  partment,  and  his  in- 
fluence soon  Tiiade  itself  felt  in  a  signal  ninnrier. 
A  large  part  of  the  apparatus  needed  in  the  vaii- 
ous  processes  had  io  be  devised,  and  in  this  work 
}je   especially  developed     an     extraordinary    re- 


sourcefulness. His  practical  mind  eriabled  him 
to  overcome  one  mechanical  difficulty  after  an- 
other, and  a  long  series  of  appliances,  which  not 
only  facilitated  operations  but  enabled  a  pre- 
viously unattained  perfection  of  products,  was  put 
into  operation. 

At  first  only  elixirs,  tinctures,  extracts  and 
similar  goods  were  made,  but  the  more  compli- 
cated pharmaceutical  products  soon  followed, 
and  numerous  compounds  given  in  the  United 
States  Pharmacopoeia  and  the  National  Formu- 
lary were  made. 

Dr.  Dohme  took  a  deep  interest  in  the  scientific 
and  ethical  sides  of  pharmacy.  He  identified 
himself  closely  with  his  alma  mater,  holding  to 
the  view  that  a  scientifically  trained  druggist 
was  niDre  efficient  than  one  who  had  merely 
obtained  a  practical  experience.  He  supported 
the  college  freely  and  gave  encouragement  in 
another  form.  He  used  his  influence  to  bring 
about  a  niising  of  standards,  and  he  encouraged 
young  ruen  who  gave  special  promise.  Besides, 
he  endeavored  to  establish  cordial  personal  rela- 
tions between  the  faculty,  the  members  of  the 
college  and  the  students,  and  on  numerous  oc- 
casions he  gave  receptions  and  entertainments  at 
his  home  which  were  notable  for  their  enjoyable 
character.  In  1896  he  was  elected  president  of 
the  College,  ssrving  one  year. 

He  became  affiliated  with  the  American  Phar- 
maceutical Association  as  early  as  1863.  In 
1889-90  he  held  the  position  of  local  secretary;  in 
1890-91  he  was  second  vice-president ;  in  1895 
he  was  elected  first  vice-president,  serving  a  year, 
and  in  1898  he  was  chosen  president,  holding 
this  distinguished  oflii.'e  for  a  year.  For  12  years 
he  Was  a  member  of  the  council  of  the  American 
PUarmace-Uical  Association,  and  in  1900  he  was 
electel  a  member  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  the 
Uuited  States  Plua-macopa-da  Convention,  being 


OLD  jMARYLAXD. 


thus  associated  with  so  lie  of  the  most  noted  men 
in  American  Pharmacy  in  the  revision  and  tlie 
puMication  of  the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia. 
On  the  death  of  William  S.  Thompson,  in  1901, 
Dr.  Dohme  was  elected  chairman  of  the  board. 
In  this  capacity  he  also  had  a  share  in  the  work 
of  bringing  out  the  Spanish  translation  of  the 
Pliarmacopoela,  a  work  prepared  '  after  the 
Spanish-American  War  for  tlie  Spanish-speaking 
Countries.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Maryland 
Pharmaceutical  Association  and  contributed 
numerous  papers  on  pliarmaceutical  processes  to 
the  proceedings  of  the  various  associations. 

Dr.  Dohme's  cordiality  and  affability  are  strik- 
ingly shown  in  the  fact  that  he  became  an  active 
member  of  the  Baltimoi-e  Drug  Trade  Bowling 
Club  some  10  years  ago.  He  also  belonged  to  the 
Germania  Club,  the  leading  German  club  of  the 
city.  Besides  attending  many  of  the  meetings 
of  the  pharmaceutical  associations,  he  traveled 
extensively  in  this  country  and  abroad,  and  his 
home  is  stacked  with  pictures  of  the  beauty  spots 
visited  by  him.  Pie  was  a  great  reader  and,  not- 
withstanding his  active  professional  and  business 
life,  possessed  an  intimate  acquaintance  with  the 
thousands  of  books  in  his  private  library.  He 
was  a  liberal  patron  of  the  arts  and  rarely  missed 
a  performance  of  a  grand  opera  or  a  high-class 
concert.  His  love  of  music  led  him  to  join  the 
Mount  Vernon  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  choir, 
and  he  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  old 
Oratorio  Society,  in  whose  renditions  he  also 
took  an  active  part. 

Tlie  year  ISBG  was  a  momentous  one  in  the 
life  of  Dr.  Dohme,  for  not  only  was  he  admitted 
to  the  firiii  in  that  year,  but  he  also  married,  his 
l)ride  being  Miss  Ida  Sciiulz,  of  Baltimore.  Tbe 
union  was  blessed  with  three  daughters  and  a 
son,  the  latter  being  A.  R.  L.  Dohme,  Ph.D. 
(Johns  Hopkins),  Instructor  in  Pharmacy  in 
•Johns  Hopkins  University,  and  the  former  Miss 
Adele  Dohme,  Mrs.  Hans  Von  Marees  and  Mrs. 
Charles  E.  Holzhauer,  of  Newark,  N.  .J.

For  darkness  long  hath  clothed   my  soul, 

And  shades  eternal  o'er  me  roll. 

No  more  for  me  the  beams  of  morn 

With  rosy  hue  the  hills  adorn; 

For  me  no  more  the  stars  unite 

Their  lustre  on  the  brow  of  night. 

The  fresher  breeze,  the  warmer  ray, 

Is  all  I  know  of  night  or  day. 

The  (lowers  embalmed  in  early  dews 

Their  scents  alone  for  me  diffuse. 

In  vain  their  rival  colors  vie 

To  woo  aside  the  rayless  eye: 

One  settled  cloud   of  stubborn  gloom 

Conceals  their  beauty  and  their  bloom. 

And  when  at  evening  I  am  led 

Through  still  unyielding  gloom  to  bed, 

How  oft  inhalf-distracte<i  mood 

These  melancholy  thoughts  obtrude: 

Oh!  that  when  morn's  renascent  beams 

Enrobe  the  vales  and  gild  the  streams, 

When  half  the  world  awakes  to  view, 

I  could  arise  and  see  it  too! 

But  ah!  there  shines  no  morn  for  me, 

No  dewy  lawn,  no  waving  tree; 

Embosomed  in  a  living  tomb, 

A  cold,  intense,  unj'ielding  gloom, 

I  hear  a  thousand  voices  sound 

Like  spirits  murmuring  under  ground. 

]My  struggling  soul  attemps  to  fly 

From  shore  to  shore,  from  earth  to  sky, 

Amiss  new  stores  of  light  divine, 

Dispose,  compare  them  and  combine. 

For  light  to  me  is  like  the  smile 

Of  one  who  charmed  our  youth  awhile 

And  ere  we  thought  the  jo.v  could  die. 

The  smile,  the  charm  forever  fly; 

Yet  in  the  soul  a  lingering  light 

Shines  like  a  lonely  star  at  night, 

Though  pale  and  dim  the  faded  ray. 

It  cannot  vanish  all  away.

Cox,  H.  Walter  Ganster,  Jr.,  Robert  E.  O'Brien, 
William  E.  Owings,  Frank  R.  Patterson,  Clarence 
E.  Steer  and  George  S.  Weikert.  In  these  exam- 
inations and  those  of  last  June  the  highest 
marks  obtained  were  secured  by  students  from 
this  law  school. 

The  subject  of  the  thesis  which  the  current  sen- 
ior class  is  required  to  prepare  is  "The  Prohibi- 
tion of  the  Impairment  of  the  Obligation  of  Con- 
tracts as  limited  bj'  the  Police  Power  of  the 
State."  This  is  a  constitutional  question  of  vast 
and  increasing  importance  and  work  thereon  will 
supplement  Judge  Harlau's  course  excellently. 

A  large  number  of  books  have  been  recently 
rebound  and  placed  in  the  Library,  and  plans 
are  under  consideration  to  add  some  very  impor- 
tant new  volumes  for  the  use  of  the  students. 

Several  alumni  are  consideiing  the  establish- 
ment of  a  John  P.  Poe  scholarship  of  a  $1,500 
fund,  interest  thereon  to  pay  for  the  tuition  of 
one  needy  student. 

Walking  parties  have  been  very  popular  dur- 
ing the  month  past.  Messrs.  John  W.  Reynolds, 
Jr.,  E.  Kemp  Cathcart  and  Wm.  E.  Banes  left 
the  Equitable  Building  at  6  P.  M.,  on  Deceml)er 
5th,  and  reached  Annapolis  at  12.55  midnight, 
by  way  of  the  Maryland  State  road.  They  re- 
lieved the  monotony  by  shooting  up  several  towns 
en  route.  Pursuing  posses  and  farmers'  dogs 
probably  account  for  the  excellent  time  made  as 
none  of  the  men  were  in  training. 

John  W.  Reynolds,  Jr.,  will  put  on  sale  Mr. 
P()e's  Notes  on  the  subject  of  "Sales,"  early  in 
February.  It  is  thought  that  they  will  prove 
very  useful  as  cases  are  cited  fully. 

Mr.  Want  is  giving  excellent  quizzes  on  Plead- 
ing, International  Law  and  kindred  subjects. 

Excellent  schedules  for  the  Basketball  aud 
Ijacrosse  teams  have  been  arranged  by  Managers 
Rome  and  Tall  respectively. 

Mr.  Want  writes  to  us  of  the  Moot  Ciuirt  as 
follows:  "The  Moot  Court  of  the  Law  School, 
which  furnishes  the  most  practical  feature  of  the 
curriculum,  is  fast  becoming  one  of  the  most  in- 
teresting and  helpful  pai'ts  of  the  law  course.  In 
line  with    the  practical    tendencies  of  education

everywhere,  Mr.  Frank,  the  Director  of  the 
Court,  strives  to  give  the  participants  in  the 
work  an  opportunity  to  familiarize  themselves 
with  every  feature  of  the  practice  of  law.  The 
preparation  of  the  pleadings,  the  examination  of 
witnesses,  the  drawing  of  instructions,  the  argu- 
ments to  the  jury,  and  the  preparation  of  cases 
for  appeal  are  given  the  same  important  position 
in  the  work  of  the  Moot  Court  that  they  assume 
in  the  trial  of  actual  cases,  and  the  results  thus 
far  have  been  very  gratifying. 

"The  cases  tried  in  the  Moot  Court  are  taken 
from  reports  of  cases  which  have  actually  been 
tried  and  decided  in  the  courts.  This  gives  the 
work  a  practical  flavor  which  it  might  otherwise 
lack. 

"Students  in  the  other  departments  of  the  Uni- 
versity may  find  it  interesting  to  attend  the  ses- 
sions of  the  Moot  Court.  One  is  held  each 
Friday  evening,  at  eight  o'clock." 

The  Paving  Commission  has  determined  to 
pave  Lombard  Street,  between  Greene  and  Fre- 
mont Streets,  thus  insuring  smooth  pavements 
in  front  of  the  University  Hospital,  and  the 
eliminati  m  of  much  of  the  noise  that  has  in  the 
past  seriously  interfered  with  the  work  of  the 
Hospital.  A  determined  effort  is  being  made  to 
induce  the  Commission  to  include  the  streets 
surrounding  the  other  buildings  of  the  University 
in  its  paving  plans.  L.  W.  B.

A  very  enjoyable  dance  was  given  by  the  Senii  r 
Class  to  the  University  Hospital  nurses  at  Al- 
baugh's  Parlors  on  the  evening  of  Deceml?er 
15th,  1911.  The  Assembly  hall  was  tastefully 
decorated  with  the  banners  of  our  various  frater- 
nities and  many  prominent  colleges  and  universi- 
ties. It  was  an  evening  of  pleasure  long  to  be 
remembered,  the  only  regret  being  that  more 
have  not  taken  place.

DEPARTMENT  OF  DENTISTRY. 

The  Christmas  recess  has  come  and  gone  and 
the  midyear  examinations  are  about  to  take 
place.  WMille  the  mirks  will  count  in  whh  the 
final  examinations,  they  are  particularly  given 
as  a  test  and  to  assist  students  to  absorb,  digest 
and  answer  lucidly  anl  in  detail  eximina'i on 
questions  in  general.  .\  stuilent  may  have  a 
correct  idea  of  a  suljject  but  sometimes  for  the 
want  of  practice  in  putting  the  idea  into  propjr 
technical  language,  he  may  completely  fail.  So 
it  has  been  conceded  by  instructors  generally, 
that  frequent  examinations  and  quizes  are  one  of 
the  best  and  most  ready  helps  in  teaching  the 
subject. 

The  year  is  passing  ver\'  rapidly  and  in  a  few 
months  the  work  will  be  practically  conplete  1. 
However,  there  is  a  lot  of  work  to  be  done  yet, 
and  above  ail  is  it  necessary  to  attempt  to  giin, 
during  the  remain:ler  of  the  term,  a  mastery  of 
both  the  practical  ami  ideal  principles  of  the 
profession. 

Somehow  when  one  has  been  out  of  school 
for  a  time  and  looks  back,  he  feels  that  the  three 
years  spent  at  college  were  all  too  short  and, 
during  that  time,  the  amount  of  knowledge 
gained  was  nothing  compared  to  that  learned  in 
after  years.  Bat  this  only  goes  to  prove  that, 
after  all,  the  time  spent  at  college  is  the  founda- 
tion, and  one  can  then  only  achieve  the  elemen- 
tary idea;  afterward  comes  the  knowledge  based 
on  experience.  But  one  mu;t  have  the  founda- 
tion and  it  can  only  be  liuilt  in  college. 

The  student  boily  is  completing  the  work  of 
the  first  half  of  the  year  successfully,  especially 
considering  the  amount  of  specimen  work  and 
studies  added  to  the  curriculum. 

Commencing  February  13,  there  will  be  a 
meeting  of  the  Supreme  Chapter  of  the  Chi

more.  This  body  is  made  up  of  delegates  from 
all  of  the  chapters  in  dental  schools  in  this 
country  and  Canada.  Now,  apart  from  the  fact 
that  these  men  are  members  of  a  particular  fra- 
ternity, they  are  fellow  students,  and  a^  such  we 
Want  to  give  them  a  welcome  to  the  H-ills  of  our 
Alma,  Miter  and  show  our  school  olf  to  the  best 
advantage.  While  the  Faculty  is  taking  no  offi- 
cial notice  that  a  large  body  of  dental  students 
is  sojourning  in  Biltimore,  for  a  period,  Dr. 
Heatwole  and  the  instructors  will  be  glad  to  re- 
ceive and  welcome  them  at  the  University. 

The  following  are  the  members  of  the  Com- 
mittee of  Arrangements  from  Beta  Chapter  of 
this  University:  John  A.  Black,  Leslie  T.  Allen, 
A.  H.  Burke,  A.  J.  Bedenbaugh,  Ralph  Ray  and 
Robert  W.  Brockett. 

'  Since  Daridge  Hall  has  been  used  for  housing 
the  library  of  the  University,  Dr.  Cordell  has 
succeeded  in  collecting  together  many  interesting 
volumes  pertaining  to  dentistry,  among  them 
being  the  private  library  of  Dr.  .James  H.  Harris. 
Students  cannot  be  to:)  urgently  impressed  with 
the  a^lvantages  of  this  fine  collection  which  is 
open  to  them  daily  during  the  session.      / 

We  deeply  sympathize  with  Mr.  Herbert  Keller 
of  the  Senior  Class,  who  lost  his  brother  by  death 
from  pneumonia,  during  the  holidays. 

Among  the  officers  of  the  Md.  Dental  Associa-

DEPARTMENT  OF  PHARMACY. 

One  of  the  most  enjoyable  affairs  of  the  first 
semester  was  the  reception  and  dance  given  in 
honor  of  the  Faculty  by  the  students  of  Phar- 
macy. The  boys  remembered  the  splendid  time 
they  had  at  the  Faculty  reception,  therefore  they 
graciously  returned  the  compliment  on  Decem- 
ber 12,  atTottle's  Hall.  At  eleven  o'clock  light 
refreshments  were  served.  At  this  time  the  boys 
again  came  forward  with  their  cheers  and  songs. 

Quite  a  number  of  the  boys  enjoyed  their 
Christmas  holidays  at  home,  while  the  remainder 
of  them  had  a  very  pleasant  time  at  some  other 
person's  home  in  town.

stock, Va.,  was  there. 

Mr.  J.  J.  O'Hara  spent  the  holidays  with  his 
parents  at  Adamstown,  Md. 

Mr.  Dennis  P.  Lillich  ha  1  the  pleasure  of  a 
trip  to  Washington,  to  see  his  parents. 

Miss  Cole  spent  the  Christmas  vacation  at  Mb. 
Carmel,  Md. 

Although  our  friend  Lee  Hodges  live-!  at  fireen- 
wood,  S.  C,  we  have  every  reason  to  believe  he 
spent  a  goodly  portion  of  his  time  in  Spartan- 
burg. 

Tlie  men  from  the  town  of  "Fast  Horses  and 
Beautiful  Women"  enjoyed  their  vaca'ion  thor- 
oughly.    Ask  Richardson  and  Gefcz  about  it. 

Mr.  E,.  Kelly,  of  Culpepper,  Va.,  spent  the 
vacation  at  home. 

Smith,  T.  S.  (not  Test  Solution),  !i  id  a  very 
pleasant  time  at  Crew,  Va.,  with  his  parents. 

Harrison  rolled  pills  at  Highlandtown,  while 
Schrader  "jerked  soda"  at  Walbrook. 

Wolf  spent  his  vacation  on  the  Western  Mary- 
land Railway.  He  said  it  took  so  long  to  go 
and  come  that  he  had  his  vacation  on  the  train. 
He  lives  at  Union  Bridge,  Md. 

White  and  Diirding  represented  the  University 
of  Maryland  on  the  Eastern  Shore. 

Dan  Warren  told  me  that  Snow  Hill  was  right 
there  when  he  arrived. 

Mr.  John  Strevig  is  from  good  old  Pennsyl- 
vania.    He  had  a  splendid  lime  at  home. 

"George"  said  he  was  home.  We  believe  he 
was  nnt.  Lonaconing  is  too  close  to  Frostburg 
to  make  me  believe  he  stayed  at  the  form-rr  town. 
It  surely  is  a  shame  that  he  couldn't  bring  Frost- 
burg back  to  Baltimore  with  him. 

The  editor  of  the  Pharmacy  Department  had  a 
very  pleasant  time  in  town. 

The  following  from  the  Junior  C/oss  went  home 
for  the  holidays:  Tucker,  ICvans,  Kilgoe,  Crow- 
ell,  Hilson,  Cline,  Gardner,  Glover,  Rowe, 
Davis,  Burke  and  Miss  Dull. 

On  Monday,  January  8,  the  class  met  at  EUer- 
brock's  to  sit  for  its  picture,  which  is  to  appear  in 
the  year  book.  There  was  a  good  representation 
present  and  we  hope  the  result  will  prove  satis- 
factory. 

Mr.  Rodon  met  with  an  accident  by  falling  off 
a  car  during  vacation,  his  face  being  bruised  and 
scarred.  .    C.  E.  McC.

Dear  Doctor  Cordell : 

In  compliance  with  your  reques^t  I  sen  1  you,  by 

separate  mail,  a  copy  of  my  book  for  tlie  library 

of  the  Univer.sity,  andam  very  glad  to  do  so.    The 

plan  for    a   Home   for  Widows    an  1  Orphans  of 

Phvsicians  is   an  e.KCcllent    one    and    meets  with 

my  hearty  api)rov'al.      I  graluated  at  tiie  LTniver- 

sity  of  Maryland  in  1871,  l)iit  on  ac>'.ount  of  my 

service  in  tlie  army  have   ha  1   little  opp  )rtanity 

to  visit    the    University  or  city  since    th  it    date. 

Woulil   he  delighted  were  I  al)le   to  do  so  daring 

the  next  year.     It  is  very  pos-iible  that  I  may  l)e 

transferred  for  duty  to  New  York  City,  in  which 

case  I  hope  to  run  down  to  B  iltimore  occasionally. 

Very  cordially  yours,

Mas.  Randolpii: 

No  doubt  you  will    be   surprised    to  hear  from 

one  of  your   fatiier's   servants,    Jack    Winslow. 

You  remember  me  now,  I  suppose.     Well   Mas. 

Randolph,  I    am   still   in    your    home  town  and 

pass  by  your  old  home  place  every  day,  and  often 

think  of  those  good  old  days  when  I  attended  to 

your  father's    horses.     I  would    like  to  see  you; 

have  often   heard   from   you.     Mas.  Randolph,  I 

am  all  broke  up,  ruptured  on  both  sides  but  able 

to   get   about.     I   am    now  with    Dr.  Cox,    Dr. 

David  Cox's  son  ;  he  helps   me  and   I  attend  to 

his  horses  the  best  I  can.     My  wife  is  living  and 

I  have  a  hard   time  to  get  along,  not  like  I  used 

to,  I  can  tell  you.     M^s.  Randolph,  can  you  help 

me?     Send    me   some   of   your  old  clothes,    old 

overcoat   and    underwear.      The    old    man    gets 

colds  these  mornings,  and   put  a  little  money  in 

the   pockets.     I  often    think  of  you    and  wish  I 

could  see  you,  but  I  don't  ever  expect  to,  but  I 

know  you  will  help  the  old  man  for  Xmas.     Old 

Folk  fare  mighty  common  nowadays.     I  hope  you 

wont    think   hard  of    me  for   asking   you,  and  I 

hope  you  will  remember  your  old  servant  and  one 


who  stayed  with  your  father.    I  wish  you  a  Merry 
Xmas.     From  your  old  servan,t.

Dear  Dr.  Cordell: 

Am  sorry  to  learn  of  your  recent  severp  illness, 
trust  you  will  soon  be  fully  yourself  again. 

Old  Maryland  is  a  handsome  publi^^ation  and 
very  interesting.  I  enjoyed  the  chapter  on 
"Recollections  of  Slave  Days  and  War  Times," 
especiallj^  the  pers  mal  record  of  the  part  played 
b.y  yourself  in  the  fiery  ordeal  through  which  you 
and  the  big  black  horse  passed.  Best  wi-hes.

At  Mr.  Henry  Phipps'  suggestion  I  have  writ- 
ten an  introduction  to  a  special  edition  of  the 
translation  of  Radot's  Life  of  Pasteur,  a  Ci>py  of 
which  I  send, with  his  compliments,  to  the  lil)rary 
of  your  medical  school,  in  the  hope  that  the 
students  may  glean  from  it  three  lessons,  viz: 
The  great  gift  of  science  to  humanity,  the  value 
of  friendship  and  good  fellowship  ami  the  incal- 
culable importance  of  the  home  in  the  formation 
of  character.  Very  sincerely  yours,

Dear  Dr.  Cordell: 

Allow  me  to  thank  you  for  the  complimentary 
copy  of  Old  Maryland,  and  to  express  my  ap- 
preciation for  the  kind  reference  to  the  Southern 
Methodist  University. 

Almost  afraid  it  will  seem  egotistical  on  my 
part,  but  I  am  enclosing  a  newspaper  clipping, 
which  aside  from  being  too  liberal  in  praising 
me,  also,  you  will  note,  makes  a  blunder  in  the 
degree  I  was  graduated  with. 

I  enclose    chick  for    SI. 00  for  wiiich  you  will 
kindly  enter   my  name  as  a  subscriber  for  Old

Through  the  generosity  of  Mr.  Orrin  C.  Painter, 
an  admirer  of  Edgar  Allan  Poe,  a  portion  of  the 
brick  wall  around  the  graveyard  of  Westminster 
Church  has  been  replaced  by  an  iron  railing  and 
bronze  gates,  so  that  the  tomb  of  the  poet  can  be 
easily  seen  from  the  street  with  its   portrait  bas- 


relief.    The  tomb  occupies  the  corner  of  the  lot  at 
the  intersection  of  Greene  and  Fayette  Streets.

University  and  the  St.  .John's  Scholarships,  and 
are  designed  to  aid  worthy  but  poor  young  men 
in  the  institution  in  obtaining  a  medical  educa- 
tion. The  St.  John's  scholar  will  be  nominated 
by  Dr.  Fell,  President  of  that  institution  (  Dept.

The  University  is  to  be  greatly  congratulated 
that  Hon.  Henry  Stoclcbridgc  has  again  consented 
to  take  the  Presidency  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
of  the  Endowment  Fund.  Ever  since  he  liccame 
a  member  of  the  Board,  he  has  taken  a  deep  and 
active  interest  in  its  proceedings  and  his  syste- 
matic methods,  his  knowledge  of'^law  and  his 
good  .iudgment  in  investments  have  been  of  the 
greatest  value  to  his  colleagues.  Even  as  a  mere 
member  of  the  Board,  his  pirticipation  in  its 
affairs  would  necessarily  iie  conspicuous,  for 
wit'iout  invidiousness  to  the  other  members,  it 
can  truthfully  1  e  said  that  he  is  its  logical  head. 
It  is  a  delicate  matter  to  handle  an  important 
trust  fund  like  this  and  mis'akes  of  judgment 
might    prove    very  disastrous.     It   i's'  fdrtmiate,

therefore,  and  it  is  well  calculated  to  give  assur- 
ance of  good  management  and  stability,  that  one 
so  admirably  fitted  for  the  position  is  at  the  head 
of  the  University's  finances.

Professor  Randolph  Winslow  deserves  unstinted 
prai-re  for  his  efforts  to  secure  an  endowment  for 
the  department  of  pathology.  He  recognized 
what  all  were  slow  to  recognize  and  many  still 
do  not  appreciate  that  a  permanent  and  sufficient 
endowment  was  the  one  thing  above  all  others 
essential  to  the  welfare  of  tlie  University.  He 
selected  his  own  depart;nent  for  his  work  and 
surely  none  needs  such  aid  a^  much  as  th  it.  For 
the  expenses  of  carrying  on  a  me  lical  school  are 
far  greater  than  those  of  an 7  other  and  a  special 
crisis  has  arisen  by  the  decision  that  the  scientif- 
ic departments  must  hereafter  be  in  tlio  hands 
of  men  independent  of  the  necessity  of  practice. 
It  will  be  seen  by  the  figures  elsewhere  that  Pro- 
fessor Winslow's  efforts  are  meeting  with  grati- 
fying success  and  such  a  necessary  and  com- 
mendable work  should  receive  our  heartiest  re 
cognition.  Let  us  all  do  our  utmost  to  aid  him 
in  raising  the  largest  possible  amount.

The  elevation  of  Dr.  Rupert  Lee  Blue,  an  alum- 
nus of  this  University,  class  of  1S92,  to  the 
office  of  Surgeon  General  of  the  Public  Health 
and  Marine  Hospital  Service,  gives  unalloye  1 
pleasure  to  all  connected  with  the  University, 
both  teachers  and  alumni.  Dr.  Blue  is  a  native 
of  North  Carolina  and  h  in  his  -t5;h  year.  He 
received  his  academic  training  at  the  University 
of  Va.  and  entered  the  Marine  Hos:iital  Service 
shortly  after  graduation,  rcacbing  tbe  rank  of 
surgeon  in  that  service  in  1901.  His  work  has 
been  chiefly  in  connection  with  epidemics  of  yel- 
low fever  and  plajU'^.  Tbe  mo<t  famous  of  his 
feats,  and  one  still  fresh  in  our  minds,  was  the 
eradication  of  the  plague  from  California  in 
1909,  which  he  effected  by  a  wliole-ale  extermi- 
nation of  the  rats  there.  For  this  he  was  given 
a  banquet  by  the  citizens  of  San  Francisco  on 
March  olst  of  that  year,  and  was  presente<l  with 
a  gold  watch  l)y  the  Mayor  of  the  city.  In  re-

Under  the  title  "An  Army  Officer  on  Leave 
in  Japan,"  Col.  L.  Merrin  3Iaus,  U.  S.  A.,  a 
graduate  of  the  University,  Class  of  1874,  de- 
scribes what  he  saw  in  a  visit  to  the  Philippines 
and  Japan.  Col.  Mans  began  his  travels  from 
San  Francisco  in  August,  1910,  as  a  commercial 
agent  of  the  U.  S.  Government,  to  study  the 
conditions  of  trade  in  the  East.  He  expected  to 
be  gone  four  months.  His  voyage  across  the 
Pacific  was  tedious  and  monotonous,  not  a  single 
sliip  being  encountered.  Stops  were  made  at 
Honolulu,  Yokohama  and  Kobe,  and  on  reach- 
ing Hong  Kong  steamship  passage  was  secured 
for  Manila,  where  he  arrived  three  days  later. 

The  harbor  of  Manila  displays  great  commer- 
cial bustle  and  activity,  and  he  predicts  that  it 
will  become  the  great  Oriental  distributing  centre 
of  the  world's  commodities.  He  therefore  won- 
ders at  the  "death-like  lethargy"  that  exists  in 
the  American  mind  at  home  relative  to  the  trad- 
ing opportunities  in  the  Orient,  which  threaten 
to  fall  into  the  exclusive  hands  of  the  English, 
Germans,  Kussians  and  Japanese.  He  received 
a  hospital  reception  at  the  Army  and  Navy  Olub 
at  Manila  and  met  with  new  friends,  "the 
Major"  and  "the  Judge,"  who  accompanied  him 
in  his  travels. 

The  government  of  the  Philippines,  originally 
organized  by  Mr.  Taft,  does  our  country  honor 
and  all  that  is  needed  to  make  the  islands  bloom 
like  a  garden  is  capital  and  labor.  The  revenue 
is  more  than  sufficient  to  defray  the  expenses  of 
government  and  improvements.  Few  at  home 
realize  that  the  Philippines  embrace  a  territory 
greater  than  that  of  Great  Britain  and  as  rich  as 
the  fabulous  wealth  of  the  Indies.  The  resources 
and  possibilities  of  the  country  are  enormous. 
The  descriptions  of  the  Philippines  and  Japan 
are  graphic  and  spirited,  and  are  accompanied 
by  a  large  number  of  illustrations  and  many  his- 
torical details.  An  appendix  gives  much  infor- 
mation about  routes,  costs,  etc. 

The  book  is  a  gift  to  our  library  from  Col. 
Maus,  who  has  written  on  the  inside  page:  "To 
my  revered  Alma  Mater,  with  the  compliments 
of  the  author,  one  of  her  sons.  Chicago,  -January 
1,  1912."

Tlie  Supreme  Bench  of  Baltimore  sent  the  fol- 
lowing letter  to  Judge  Alfred  Niles,  '81,  on  the  oc- 
casion of    his  recent   retirement  fi'oin  that  body: 

"Your  associates  upon  the  Supicine  Bench  of 
Baltimore  City  cannot  allow  the  occasion  of  your 
retirement  from  this  court  to  pass  without  ex- 
pressing to  you  the  real  regret  which  tliey  have, 
hy  reason  of  the  severance  of  an  otiicial  tie, 
which  throughout  its  existence  lias  l)rcn  marked 
by  such  hcdpful  co-operalioii  and  cor  lial  good 
will,  and  the  recollection  of  which  will  always  be 
attended  with  the  pleasantest  memories. 

"They  recognize  that  your  work  upon  the 
Bench  has  given  an  example  of  a  liigli  ordef  of 
public  service  and  that  the  loss  which  they  an  1 
the  public,  will  sustain,  in  consequence  of  your 
resignation,  will  be  great. 

"While  they  are  sincerely  sorry  that  you  have 
considered  it  was  necessary  to  take  the  step  you 
have,  they  desire  to  assure  you  that  iu  returning 
t)  the  bar  you  bear  with  you  the  affectionate  re- 
gard of  each  one  of  us  and  that  you  have  our 
best  wishes  for  that  abundant  prosperity  which 
your  ability  deserves,  and  for  that  happiness 
which  awaits   upon    successful   endeavor  and   an 

u.  right  life."

Prof.  Rindolph  Winslow  s  third  article,  of 
the  See  America  First  series  (Nov.  Bull.),  is  de- 
voted to  the  Yosemite  Valley.  This  is  a  national 
park  guarded  by  U.  S.  cavalry,  [weaving  Los 
Angeles  .June  30,  it  was  reached  in  24  hours. 
The  Valley  itself  is  a  deep  cleft  in  the  heart  of 
the  Sierras,  seven  by  three-quarters  of  a  nnle, 
with  level  floor  covered  with  l)eautiful  trees  and 
the  ice-cjld  Merced  river  rushing  through  its 
centre.  It  ii  bounded  by  sheer  and  barren  walls 
of  rock,  T — 1  mile  high,  and  carved  into  fantas- 
tic shapes,  over  whose  rim  lund)le  many  stupen- 
dous cataracts.  The  Nevada  Falls  are  2630  ftet 
high,  but  of  liroke:i  descent.  The  Bridal  Veil, 
Vernal  an  1  Illilovette,  are  other  falls.  There 
are  pictures  of  some  of  these.  Curious  rock 
formations  aUract  attention,  as  "El  Capitan,  ' 
resembling  an  enormous  elephant,  3300  feet 
high,  figures  of  a  cat,  cathedral,  etc.  The  Mari- 
posa Grove  of  big  trees,  the  oldest  and  largest 
living  things  in  the  world,  are  a  great  attraction.

as  also  Glacier  Point,  a  bold  projection,  3250 
feet  high  overlooking  the  Valley,  reached  by  a 
horse  trail  of  fifteen  miles.  The  view  from  the 
hitter  is  wonderful,  embracing  100  miles  of 
Sierras,  with  snow-clad  tops  and  intervening 
canyons.  Many  of  the  scenes  of  robbery  that 
are  exhibited  in  the  moving  picture  theatres  are 
worked  out  in  this  Valley.  The  Sentinel  Hotel 
is  open  the  year  round.  Characteristic  of  Cali- 
fornia is  its  contrasts — of  soil  and  products. 
Irrigritioii  is  necessary  in  some  parts.  The  fruits 
are  much  larger  than  elsewhere.  Petroleum  is 
abundant,  and  railroads  and  steamboats  use  it 
instead  of  coal. 


Continuing  his  ''Hurried  Trip  'Through  Europe," 
Dr.  Ashby  de.-cribes  in  the  Hosp.  Bull,  for  Nov., 
what  he  saw  ia  Switzerland,  on  the  Rhine  and 
in  Brussels.  The  first  object  that  met  his  eyes 
when  he  awoke  at  the  hotel  at  Interlaken,  was 
the  tall  peaks  of  the  Jungfrau,  13,000  feet  high 
and  covered  with  snow,  a  most  beautiful  and 
impressive  sight.  The  snow-capped  mountains 
all  around  were  in  striking  contrast  with  the 
green  fields  ami  growing  crops  in  the  valleys  be- 
low. Ascending  the  adjacent  mountains  by 
cable  cars  (funiculaires)  he  had  fine  views  of 
the  country.  A  stay  over  night  allowed  him  to 
Fee  Thorwaldsen's  celebrated  Lion,  hewn  out  of 
the  solid  rock,  a  monument  to  the  Swiss  Guard 
which  perished  at  the  Tuilleries  in  1792.  At 
Tifaintz  he  took  the  steamer  for  a  ride  down  the 
Rhine,  which  is  here  clear  and  about  a  third  of  a 
mile  wide.  There  were  no  trees  along  the  banks, 
which  were  lined  on  both  sides  with  double-track 
railroads,  and  beyond  these  villas,  vineyards, 
castle ^  and  high  mountains.  Passing  Bingen, 
after  nine  hours  he  arrived  at  Cologne,  the  chief 
glory  of  which  is  ics  Ciit.hedral  and  its  wonder- 
ful bells,  alone  worth  a  visit  to  the  city.  There 
is  a  great  steel  bridge  at  Cologne  as  large  and 
imposing  as  the  East  Iliver  bridge  at  New'  York. 
Bidgium  was  not  so  attractive;  tilings  there  as- 
sumed a  Dutch  aspect  anil  the  wind  njill  was  in 
evidence.  Brussels,  the  city  of  carpets  and  laces, 
is  described  and  tin;  article  concludes  with  some

RECOLLECTIONS  OF  SLAVE  DAYS 
AND  WAR  TIMES. 

By  the  Editor. 
(Continued  from  page  ItiO). 
Early  began  the  movement  at  1  A.  i\L,  October 
19,  with  Kershaw's  and  Wharton's  Divisions. 
His  plan  was  now  changed  and  Kershaw  boi-e  to 
the  right  at  Strasburg,  crossing  Cedar  Creek  at 
Bowman's  Mill.  Early  accompanied  Kershaw 
and  they  got  in  sight  of  the  enemy's  camp  fires 
at  3.30  A.  M.,  and  with  moon  shining.  Ker- 
shaw was  ordered  forward  at  4.30,  crossing  the 
creek  without  molestation,  sweeping  the  enemy's 
left  work  and  turning  their  own  artillery  against 
them.  There  had  been  an  hoar's  delay  on  Gor- 
don's part,  which  enabled  them  partially  to 
reform  after  Kershaw's  attack  began  and  Gordon 
had  met  with  great  opposition  and  severe  fight- 
ing. The  19th  and  Crook's  Corps  were  now  in 
complete  rout,  abandoning  their  camp?,  artillery 
and  small  arms.  The  6th  Corps,  which  was  on  the 
enemy's  right  and  some  distance  from  the  point 
attacked,  ha^l  had  time  to  get  under  arms  and 
take  position  so  as  to  arrest  our  progress.  Whar- 
ton was  ordered  to  the  right  of  Gordon  to  fill  a 
vacancy,  but  came  back  in  confusion,  reporting 
that  the  6th  Corps  was  advaneitig.  -The  fog  hav- 
ing risen,  the  enemy  was  found  to  be  occupying 
a  strong  position  on  a  ridge.  He  had  not  ad- 
vanced as  had  been  reported.  An  artillery  duel 
now  began.  Wharton  was  ordered  to  the  right 
to  meet  the  Federal  cavalry,  advancing  along  the 
Valley  pike.  Early  sent  orders  to  Kershaw  and 
Gordon  to  attack  the  enemy's  right  flank  and 
concentrited  twenty  guns  under  Carter  on  our 
right.  In  a  short  time  they  were  in  retreat. 
Ramseur  and  Pegram  advanced,  when  the  latter 
was  ordered  to  the  right,  against  the  enemy's 
cavalry  wdio  were  pressing  us.  Kershaw  and 
Gordon  were  too  much  scattered  to  attack. 
Wharton  and  WoH'ird  (of  Kershaw's  Division ) 
were  put  on  the  ri^'ht  of  Pegram  and  repulsed 
several  charges  of  the  Federal  cavalry.  Rosser 
had  not  been  able  to  surprise  the  enemy  on  our 
left.      As    Early    crossed    Cedar    Creek,    he  dis-

covered  a  number  of  our  men  plundering  the 
enemy's  camp  and  one  of  Wharton's  battalions 
was  ordered  to  clear  the  camp.  Later  it  was 
reported  to  E  irly  that  a  great  number  were  at  the 
same  busine^-i.  Hi;  sent  all  his  staff  officers  to 
stjp  them  if  possil)le  and  the  division  comman- 
ders were  ordered  to  send  for  their  men. 

After  being  driven  from  his  second  pi.-iition, 
the  ene'ny  hal  tiken  another  two  miles  north  of 
Middletown.  Oar  ratik^  were  now  thinned,  the 
enemy  had  rallied  and  his  cavalry  were  threaten- 
ing our  flmks.  Early  determined  to  try  and 
hold  what  he  had  gained.  Daring  the  day  the 
enemy  were  repuLsed  in  several  charges  on  our 
right.  Late  in  the  afternoon  their  infantry  ad- 
vanced an  1  susceaded  in  penetrating  an  interval 
between  Evan-i'  Brigide  on  the  extrem;  left  and 
the  rest  of  our  line,  whereupon  th.it  briguie  and 
Gordon's  other  briga  les  give  way.  G.)rdo!i 
vainly  tried  to  rally  them.  The  panic  exten  le  1 
along  our  line  to  Kershaw  an. 1  Run^eur,  wh) 
fell  b.ick  in  disorder,  although  they  were  nit 
being  pressed.  Ramseur  and  one  of  Kersha^v's 
majors  succeeded  in  rallying  a  few  hundred  men, 
and  with  the  aid  of  six  pieces  of  Cutshaw's  artil- 
lery, held  the  enemy's  right  in  check  l-J  hour, 
until  Ramseur  was  shot  down  mortally  wouniled 
and  the  artillery  ammunition  was  exhausted. 
Tbe  little  band  then  gave  way.  Pegram,  Whnr- 
ton  and  WofTord  had  so  far  remained  steadfast 
on  tbe  right;  they  were  now  ordered  to  fall  back 
but  soon  became  in  like  manner  disorganized. 
"Could  500  men  have  lieen  rallied  and  have 
stood  firm,  Iim^atisfied,  "  fcy^Ear]y,  "11  at  all 
my  artillery  and  wagons  and  the  greater  part  of 
the  capture  1  artillery,  could  have  bfcn  saved,  a-i 
the  enemy's  pui'suit  was  very  feeble."  To  ad  1 
to  our  misfortunes,  a  bridge  on  a  very  narrov 
pirt  of  the  road  between  Strasburij  and  Fisher's 
Hill  gave  way,  and  all  tlie  artillery,  etc.,  which 
bail  not  passed  that  point  was  captured  by  a  very 
small  body  of  the  enemy's  cavalry.  The  greater 
part  of  our  infantry  was  halted  at  Fisher's  Hill 
and  moved  back  towards  Newmarket  at  3  A.  RI. 
the  next  day,  October  20,  Rosser  holding  Fisher's 
Hill  to  cover  the  retreat. 

Thus  ended  in  gloom  and  defeat  a  battle  which 
at  one  period  promised  to  be  a  glorious  victory 
and  to  atone  for  all  our  previous  misfortunes. 
The  plan  of  attack  was  brilliantly  conceived  and 
carried  out  with  spirit.     Our  troops  must  beai;

the  hlame  of  defeat,  since  they  give  way  at  a 
critical  moment  to  the  irresistible  impalse  to 
supply  their  necessities  in  the  enemy'-;  well-pro- 
viilel  camp.  Precious  time  was  thei-e'iy  lost,  al- 
lowing the  enemy  to  recover  from  their  surprise 
and  rally.  Our  troops  were  still  un  ler  that  ter- 
rible influence  of  panic  began  at  Winchesfer  and 
intensified  at  the  first  Fisher's  Hill  enga2;enient. 
They  were  ready  to  fiy  at  any  reverse,  and  had 
lost  confidence  in  each  other  and  in  tiieir  com- 
mander. Many  indeed  thought  Early's  useful- 
ness gone  and  Gordon  and  Breckenridgc  were 
spoken  of  among  us  as  suitable  successors. 

"We  were  not,  however,  without  sulistantial 
evidences  of  partial  victory.  Early  succeeded  in 
carrying  off  from  the  hattlefield  1,.)00  prisoners 
who  were  sent  to  Richmond  under  guard.  Early's 
loss  was  about  1,860  killed  and  wonU'led  and 
somewhat  over  1,093  prisons — Pond  says  3,100 
in  all^with  21  pieces  of  arlillery,  ordnance, 
store-!,  wagons,  etc.  Tbe  2i  pieces  of  artillery 
which  he  had  captured  early  in  the  day  were  re- 
captured. Sheridan's  toss,  according  to  Federal 
sources,  was  5,764. 

A  sad  event  to  me  was  the  mirtal  wounding  of 
the  young  Lieutenant  of  my  company  in  the 
charge  upon  the  6th  Corps.  Lieutenant  Peyton, 
who  was  in  command  of  the  company  in  the  bat- 
tle, was  shot  through  the  breast,  and  died  some 
days  later.  I  had  the  honor  of  commanding  the 
detail  from  the  regiment  that  accompanied  his 
remains  to  their  Li.st  resting  place  and  discharg- 
ing a  few  voUies 

"  O^er  the  grave  -svliere  our  hern  we  buried." 

He  was  from  Greenbrier  Co.  and  of  a  prominent 
Virginia  family. 

As  for  the  forces  engigel.  Early  says  that  he 
had  8,800  muskets  (of  these  Wharton's  division 
1,100),  1,200  cavalry  and  a  little  over  40  pieces 
of  artillery.  He  estimates  Sheridan's  force  at 
8,700  cavalry  and  about  the  same  number  of 
infantry  as  at  Winchester. 

I  have  copied  largely  from  Early's  account  of 
this  battle,  because  I  had  no  personal  knowledge 
of  it.  As  luek,  good  or  bad,  would  have  it,  I 
was  suffering  just  then  from  a  large  and  very 
painful  boil  un  the  inside  of  my  right  leg  ,iust 
below  the  knee.  I  have  ah-eady  mentioned  that 
I  was  debared  from  accompanying  the  army  into 
Maryland  by  a  similar  affection  and  I  was  a  fre- 
quent  sufferer    from   it   in  various    parts  of  the 


body  during  this  whole  year.  At  this  time  I 
could  neither  walk  nor  ride,  and  there  was  noth- 
ing therefore  to  do,  but  to  go  off  to  the  rear  in 
the  brigade  wag)n,  the  only  conveyance  accessi- 
ble to  me.  I  heard  the  firing  but  did  not  know 
of  the  strange  vicissitudes  of  our  arms  until  the 
next  day. 

This  is  the  only  battle  or  skirmish  in  which  my 
brigade  was  engaged  during  the  campaign  that  I 
missed. 

Early  now  encamped  at  Newmarket  for  three 
weeks,  undisturbed,  endeavoring  in  every  way  to 
restore  the  efficiency  of  his  army.  Many  conva- 
lescents and  men  who  had  been  on  detail,  and 
also  one  l)rigade — Crosby's — now  joined  us.  A 
few  days  after  the  battle,  Early  issued  a  procla- 
mation— he  calls  it  "a  sharp  lecture" — to  his 
troops,  in  which  he  severely  reprimanded  them 
for  laxity  in  discipline,  attributing  our  reverses 
largely  to  them.  His  strictures,  doubtless,  were 
not  undeserved,  but  the  men  were  in  no  humor 
for  censure  at  that  time,  and  the  effect  of  the 
proclamation  was  rather  the  reverse  of  that 
which  was  intended.  While  bold  even  to  rash- 
ness, Early  was  a  man  Avith  but  few  of  those 
qualities  which  draw  men  to  them  or  enlist  their 
sympathy.  He  had  no  personal  magnetism — he 
never  exposed  himself  in  battle.  His  private 
character  had  little  to  recommend  him  to  his 
subordinates — he  was  far  from  being  a  model  to 
those  under  him.  It  was  currently  reported  that 
he  indulged  to  excess  in  intoxicating  drinks  and 
stories  were  afloat  as  to  his  great  profanity.  One 
could  not  but  contrast  his  character  with  that  of 
Lee  and  .Jackson  and  note  the  absence  of  those 
traits  which  made  these  Christian  soldiers  the 
accepted  models  of  our  army  and  the  idols  of 
their  men. 

Idttle  allowance  was  made,  therefore,  for  the 
merits  which  Early  really  possessed,  while  every 
defeat  was  painted  in  the  most  vivid  colors.  He 
cannot  be  said  to  have  ever  had  anj^  popularity 
with  us,  but  now  he  became  an  object  of  aversion 
and  we  followed  his  lead  with  extreme  unwilling- 
ness. His  usefulness  appeared  to  be  largely  at  an 
end.  General  Ia^c,  however,  thought  otherwise 
and  retained  him  in  command  of  an  army  which 
had  met  unexpected  defeat  under  his  leadership. 
The  Commander  of  the  Army  of  the  Confederacy 
still  expressed  confidence  in  his  "zeal,  ability 
and  devotion."     But  something  else  was  needed

liesides  tliese  and  he  was  cmivinced  later  that  tlie 
interests  of  the  country  required  a  change,  which 
it  must  he  granted  might  have  been  made  with 
advantage  earlier.  Early  himself  seemed  to  ap- 
preciate the  altered  relations  he  bore  to  the  arni.^, 
for  immediately  aTter  the  Battle  of  Cedar  Creek 
he  wrote  a  letter  to  Lee  stating  his  willingness  to 
be  relieved  from  command  if  the  latter  deemed 
it  nece.«saiy  to  the  public  service.  He  was  not 
relieved  until  March  80,  18G5,  ten  days  before 
Lee's  surrender. 

Our  army  remained  in  camp  at  Newmarket 
until  November  10,  without  molestation  from 
Sheridan — a  very  singular  fact  in  view  of  the 
complete  rout  which  we  were  said  to  have  met 
with.  On  th(^  9th  of  November  Sheridan  with- 
drew to  Kernstown  to  obtain  better  quarters  and 
more  ready  supplies.  The  next  day  Early  hur- 
riedly pursued  suspecting  that  he  intended  to 
send  troops  to  Grant.  We  crossed  Cedar  Creek 
and  advanced  to  Newtown,  near  Winchester, 
where  we  found  the  enemy  behind  forLificatioTis. 
We  remained  in  their  front  the  11th  and  r2Lh, 
and  there  was  some  skirmishing  between  the  two 
armies.  For  want  of  supplies,  Early  withdrew 
his  forces  on  the  night  of  the  l"2th  to  Fisher's 
Hill,  and    on  the    14th   to   Newmarket  without 

(  To  be 


serious  interference.     Kershaw  and  Crosby  now 
returned  to  Lee. 

On  the22d  Torhert  made  a  demonstration  with 
two  divisions  of  cavalry  to  Mt.  Jackson,  in  order 
to  asci  rtain  what  forces  Early  still  had.  They 
crossed  the  north  fork  i>f  the  Sltenandoah  at  th;it 
point  into  Mecm's  Bottom.  Early  drew  out  his 
whole  force  to  m..'et  them,  occupying  Riide's 
Hill,  an  eminence  overlooking  the  "Bottom" 
from  the  soath.  They  did  not  venture  to  attack 
us  but  after  manoeuvring  in  the  plain  returned 
to  their  main  army.-  It  was  a  grand  sight  to  see 
this  magnificent  body  of  trained  horsemen,  so 
supcrlily  equippe  1,  an'l  moving  with  as  nnich 
precision  as  though  they  were  upmi  a  holliduy 
parade,  their  sabres  gliaining  in  the  .'-un.  I  had 
never  seen  so  large  a  body  of  ca\alry  assemble  1 
before,  and  the  sight  impressed  us  forcibly  with 
a  sense  of  the  enemy's  superiority  in  the  branch 
and  of  the  immense  odds  with  which  we  were 
so  vainly  contending. 

In  November,  Rosser,  who  had  much  of  tin 
unquenchable  combativeness  of  his  chief,  crossed 
North  Mountain,  surprised  the  force  at  New 
Creek  on  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Ral'lroad,  and 
captured  500  prisoners,  250  horses  ami  7  guns, 
burning  the  buildings  and  store  of  supplies.

DR.  JOHN  CRAWFORD. 

One  of  tlie  mo*t  interesting  figures  in  the  liis- 
tory  of  tile  University  is  that  of  John  Crawford, 
who  lectured  liere  on  Natural  History  during  the 
session  of  1811-12.  He  was  the  son  of  a  clergy- 
man in  north  Ireland,  where  lie  was  born  in 
1746.  Educated  academically  at  Trinity  Col- 
lege, Dublin,  he  received  his  medical  training 
ami  the  degree  of  M.  D.  at  the  Universiiy  of 
Leyden.  His  Mrst  professional  experience  was  in 
the  Service  of  the  East  India  Company.  Later 
he  was  surgeon  in  the  British  Navy,  beiiig 
stationed  on  the  island  of*  Barbadoes  and  still 
later  he  was  in  the  service  of  the  Dutch  in  X>e- 
marara.  He  ariived  in  Baltimore  in  1796  and, 
after  an  active  pr()fes>ional  career  here  of  17 
years,  died    in  1813. 

Dr.  Crawford's  career  here  and  his  services  to 
the  community  were  noteworthy;  He  was  a 
participator,  if  not  a  leader,  in  most  of  the  pro- 
gressive and  humanitarian  enterprises  of  his 
day.  He  was,  for  example,  a  founder  and  most 
active  in  the  following:  Maryland  Society  for 
Promoting  Useful  Knowledge,  Baltimore  General 
Dispensary,  Hibernian  Benevolent  Society,  the 
Penitentiary,  the  Bible  Society  of  Baltimore 
and  the  Baltimore  Lilirary.  He  was  one  of  the 
Very  first  to  introduce  vaccination  into  this 
country,  which  he  did  in  the  summer  of.  LSOl. 
From  1801  to  1813,  he  was  Grand  Master  of 
Masons  of  Maryland.  He  was  Consulting  Phy- 
sician to  the  Board  of  Health  and  City  Hospital. 

He  wrote  much  in  tiie  periodicals  of  the  day 
and  left  a  large  amount  of  MS.  which  has  been 
lost.  A  few  years  ago  the  writer  discovered  an 
interesting  unpublished  treatise  liy  him  on  the 
eifect  of  tropical-  climate  on  Europeans.  His 
articles  always  exhibit  sound  judgment,  critical 
observation  and  extensive  knowledge.  He  sought 
to  profit  by  his  unsuccessful  as  well    as    his   suc- 


cessful   cases   and  wins    our    confidence    liy    his 
complete  unreserve  afi-d  frankness.  '•'-''> 

From  whatever  point  of  view  we  regard-'^Dr. 
Crawford's  character,  it  excites  our  admiratioii; 
His  manners  were  refined  to  a  degreerarely  seen 
and  he  was  a  model  of  trup  gentil-ity;-' ■  As  a 
philanthropist  he  was  alisdlutely  unselfish".'  His 
piety  was  deep  an<l  unassuming: !■  As  a  sCi^atist 
he  was  fully  versed  in  tlie  lore  (if- his\lay.'  As-M 
physician  his  attainments  were  such  as  to  -place  ' 
him  in  the  front  rank  of  the  medical  pmfe'-sion. 
His  writings  show  that  he  possessed  a.  logical 
mind,  entirely  free  from  prejudice  and  ever  open 
to  the  truth.  Indeed  we  dojiot  hesitate  to 
affirm  that  he  hasnei'er  had  his  superior  in  the 
medical  profession  of  the- State. 

Passing  (iver  the  other  aspects  of  his  life  and 
achievements,  there  is  one  feature  that  is  unique- 
and  at  once. rivets  our  attention-  ami   establishes-' 
his  fame;  Hiat  is  his  prevision- as4o  the  cause  df- 
disease.     He  had   an   abso-lute'<;6hviction-bf  tW'-' 
causative  agency  of  Ii'->iig  discus/-  cjfi'iihi — wTiat'We- 
call  "pathogenic  organisms." -' It -Was-  iivl790,  " 
while   residing  in   Dutch   Guiaiia,  that   he  con- 
ceived— independently — this    idea.  -"■'The    great 
prevalence  -of    iill?  forms  '  of    infectious   disease 
there  favored    such   reflections    and   the    m,Yria<l  _ 
forms  of  insect  life  were  highlj'  suggestive.   With 
reflection,  the  theori'gained   stren'gth.     It  fitte.iM 
in  with  existing  conditions    and    knowledge.     It 
threw  light  into  a  -field   hitherto    barred    by  im- 
penetrable darkness.     He   ransacked    nature  for 
evidences    of  its    truth  and  hjsJjooks    show    by 
numerous  marginal  references  that    he  was  .ever- 
seeking  more  light  upon  it.     His  studies  taught 
him  that  man — even  though  possessed  of  a   soul 
— is  not  exempt  from   the    la-n-s  that   govern    the 
lower  animals  (as    had  previously  been  taught), 
but  that  one  law  governs  all   living  things  alike,? 
even  the  vegetaiile  kingdom.    He  found  pnra^fisin

instances  known  of  diseases  due  to  minute  insects, 
TTorms,  etc.,  capable  of  detection  by  the  rude 
instrumental  aids  which  science  afforded  ; 
indeed  even  by  the  unaided  senses.  With  the 
insight  of  genius  he  ivasonfd  from  the  known  to  the 
imknvwn  and  declared  .that  there  was  a  whole 
unseen  world  of  HviuR  creatures  far  beyond  the 
ken  of  man,  which  wer^  engaged  in  this  same 
destructive  warfare  u^on  the  human  body. 
With  the  same  enlightened  vision,  he  declared 
that  ignorance  would  not  always  prevail  upon 
thiiJ  subject — human  intelligence  would  some 
day  dispel  the  darkness  and  enable  man  to  pene- 
trate the  secrets  of  this  unseen  world. 

In  Dr.  Crawford's  view  these  minute  "animal- 
culae"  penetrate  the  human  body  through  its 
various  openings,  pores,  etc.,  and  deposit  therein 
their  germs,  the  development  of  which  coincides 
with  the  onset  and  progress  of  disease.  He 
compares  the  relations  of  these  germs  to  seeds, 
e<ich  giving  rise  to  n  ceHdin  disease  as  the  seed  to  its 
respective  plant.  ~ 

Dr.  Crawford,  as  we  have  said,  was  absolutely 
convinced  of  the  truth  of  his  theory.  His  proofs 
were  perfect,  and  although  others  could  not  see, 
with  him  it  became  an  overmastering  conviction, 
the  dominating  principle  of  his  life,  his  thought, 
his  conduct.  He  illustrated  what  historj^  so 
often  shows — that  such  men  are  ahead  of  their 
time — that  genius  advances  by  strides  whicih 
other  men,  less  gifted,  are  unable  to  maintain, 
and  hence  the  possessers  of  it  are  thought  to  be, 
misled  by  delusions  ;  they  are  mentally  ill-bal- 
anced, they  are  incapable  t)f  weighing  correctly 
proof  and  probability. 

We  now  can  appreciate  him  at  his  true  worth 
and,  as  he  was  one  of  us,  let  us  claim  a  share  of

his  merit  and  achievement.  Dr.  Crawford  was 
not  the  first  to  suggest  the  idea  that  diseases 
might  be  due  to  minute  aninialculae.  Several 
(none  English,  so  far  as  we  know)  had  thought 
of  it  before  him,  but  with  them  it  was  the 
purest  kind  of  fancy — of  theory;  they  made  no 
attempt  to  prove  it  and  they  accomplished  nothing 
towards  establishing  it  upon  a  scientific  basis.  It 
was  different  with  him.  He  entered  into  the 
most  elaborate  details  and  brought  together  every 
fact  known  bearing  in  any  way  upon  it,  and  we 
are  able  to  affirm  that  he  presented  a  case  that 
was  absolutely  convincing  to  "himself,  and,  if  we 
study  it  carefully,  must  be  equally  (in  fact  no 
less  than  logically)  convincing  to  us.  The  time 
was  at  hand  when  the  greatest  discovery  of  the 
ages  was  to  be  made  and  John  Crawford  was  the 
first  to  light  the  way  to  its  revelation.  He  was 
the  veritable  forerunner  of  Pasteur.

"Bleeding  at  first  in  all  diseases  attended  with 
severe  and  fixt  pain,  I  think  a  remedy  much  to 
be  relied  on,  and  I  think  we  can  never  say  the 
experiment  of  it  has  been  fairly  made  unless  the 
quantity  is  in  proportion  to  the  violence  of  the 
case  and  continued  till  a  ci)nsiderable  degree  of 
debility  ensues.  From  the  success  of  it  in  this 
way  for  some  time  past  in  my  practice,  I  am  in-

"You  sometime  ago  requested  information  of 
my  rates  of  charging  and  I  should  have  furnished 
you  with  it  sooner  if  I  had  not  hoped  to  have

some  general  remarks  (the  result  of  practical  ob-

CORRESPONDENCE.. 

In  answer  to  our  invitation  to  deliver  the  ad- 
dress at  the  opening  of  the  Home  for  Widows 
and  Orphans  of  Physicians,  Sir  William  Osier 
writes  as  follows: 

From  the  Regius  Professor  of  Medicine, 

Oxford,  27th  .Jan.,  1912. 
Dear  Oordell: 

No,  I  shall  not  be  out  this  spring.  I  am  giv- 
ing lectures  at  Yale  next  October,  but  that  would 
be  too  late. 

I  am  delighted  to  hear  that  your  long-planned 
dream  has  been  realized,  and  that  the  Home  will 
be  opened  soon.  I  don't  know  of  any  similar 
one  and  I  am  sure  it  will  be  most  helpful.  ./You 
seem  to  be  making  great  progress  too  with  the 
old  University  School.  I  always  look  over  your 
journal  with  interest. 

Sincerely  yours,  W.   Osler.

DEPARTMENT  OF  PHARMACY. 

Before  the  next  issue  of  Old  Maryland  ap- 
pears, the  students  of  this  department  will  have 
completed  their  mid-year  examinations.  No 
doubt  they  will  feel  quite  relieved,  because  there 
is  naturally  a  considerable  amount  of  anxiety  at 
that  time,  due  to  all  striving  to  attain  the  beet 
rating  possible. 

We  have  viewed  with  great  pleasure  the  inter- 
est manifested  by  the  class  in  their  work  this 
year.  They  do  not  seem  to  be  anxious  for  their 
work  to  be  completed.  This  is  especially  true 
of  both  the  Chemical  and  Pharmaceutical  Labo- 
ratories, which  work  we  completed  lately. 

The  class  takes  this  means  of  convej'ing  their 
sincere  thanks  and  appreciation  to  Dr.  E.  F. 
Kelly  for  the  splendid  manner  in  which  he  con- 
ducted the  Pharmaceutical  Laboratory.  This 
being  his  first  year  as  director,  he  conducted  it 
with  an  able  and  competent  Inind  and  made  the 
year's  work  a  success. 

Don't  forget  that  the  1012  Terra  J/ar;>  will 
soon  be  out.  Be  sure  to  get  your,  orders  in  earlj', 
in  order  to  obt3.in  the  discount.  '  '

that  we  are  all  moi'e  interested  in,  except  per- 
haps to  see  the  successful  fruition  oi  those  plans 
in  the  years  to  come,  when  all  of  us  will  eithcj'

whose  hands  both  the  "aristocracy"  and  the

DEPARTMENT  OF  DENTISTRY. 

In  a  recent  issue  of  statistics  on  education  by 
the  Regents  of  the  State  of  New  York,  the  den- 
tal department  of  the  University  is  listed  as  a 
registered  institution.  We  recognize  the  im- 
portance of  being  registered  by  this  body,  as  it 
represents  a  strong,  systematized,  and  modern 
educational  foundation.  This  proclaims  the  fact 
that  the  department  keeps  abreast  with  dental 
education  and  that  is  saying  a  good  deal  at  the 
present  moment,  when  every  new  issue  of  dental 
literature,  every  meeting  of  various  dental  socie- 
ties and  faculties,  and  every  investigation  by  in- 
dividual practitioners  bring  forth  new  and  im- 
portant ideas,  and  dental  education  receives  a 
constant  fresh  impetus  from  so  many  sources. 
So  at  least  the  University,  as  an  acknondedged  . 
school  of  dental  science,  stands  forth  favorably, 
before  a  body  of  men,  noted  for  sound  educa- 
tional principles. 

The  lii-ennial  meeting  of  the  Supreme  Chap- 
ter of  tlie  Xi  Psi  Phi  Dental  Fraternity  was  held 
at  the  Emerson  Hotel,  Balto.,  Feb.  12  and  13. 
There  were  delegates  present  from  all  parts  of  the 
IT.  S.  and  Canaila..  Banquets  were  held  at  the 
Emerson  and  the  Eutaw  House  and  there  was 
a.  theatre  party  at  the  New  Academy  of  Music. 
Ivia  Chapter  of  the  University  was  represented  on 
the  t'oinmittee  of  Arrangements  by  L.  T.  Allen, 
.1.  .A.  Black,  A.  J.  Bedenbaugh,  A.  PI.  Burk  and 
R.  Ray.  The  next  meeting  will  be  at  Minneap- 
olis. 

We  are   indebted   to   Dr.  F.  C.  Groshans  for

several  interesting  specimens  donated  to  the 
Museum.  It  is  the  intentioa  of  Dr.  Heatwole  to 
catalogue  and  so  arrange  tlie  Museum  that  it  will 
prove  of  more  interest  to  the  student  body  than 
at  the  present  moment.  There  are  a  great  many 
interesting  objects  to  be  seen  in  it,  and  it  is  de- 
signed to  make  it  the  nucleus  of  one  of  the  most 
interesting  dental  exhibits  in  this  country.  Speci- 
mens of  a  purely  dental  nature  and  things  his- 
torical relating  to  dentistry  will  be  gladly  ac- 
cepted. A  clearly  printed  card  bearing  the 
donor's  name,  to  insure  proper  recognition  of  his 
generosity,  is  requested  with  objects. 

We  learn  that  there  is  a  movement  on  foot  to 
remove  the  remains  of  Dr.  Chapin  A.  Harris 
from  Mt.  Olivet  Cemetery  to  a  more  suitable 
resting  place  and  to  erect  a  monument  over  them. 
It  began  in  the  State  Dental  Society,  when 
through  the  motion  of  Professor  Heatwole  the 
initiative  was  taken  and  a  commission  appointed 
to  work  it  up.  The  three  Maryland  dental 
schools  will  be  asked  to  co-operate  and  contribute 
to  it.  It  is  highly  proper  that  this  great  dental 
teacher  and  pioneer,  one  of  the  "Fathers  of 
Dentistry  "—should  be  suitably  commemorated  by 
a  notable  monument  in  one  of  the  public  squares 
of  this  city  where  his  life-work  was  accomplished 
and  which  he  adorned.  F.  J.  V.

There  have  been  several  notices  lately  in  the 
newspapers  intimating  the  prop.ised  organization 
of  a  Uiiiversltg  Glee  Club,  but  although  we  have 
made  inquiries  upon  the  subject,  we  have  failed 
to  elicit  any  information.  Cannot  some  one 
who  knows  give  us  something  reliahle  as  to  the 
present  status  of  the  project  ?  It  is  an  excellent 
idea  and  one  that  ought  to  be  feasible  in  so  large 
an  institution  as  ours.  There  ought  to  be  a  per- 
manent club  here,  maintained  steadily  from  year 
to  year.  It  could  subserve  a  useful  purpose  by 
the  relaxation  it  would  afford  from  hard  work 
and  by  promoting  sociability  and  better  acquain- 
tance among  the  students,  and  theTe  are  many 
public  occisions — Academic  Day,  alumni  meet- 
ings, commencement,  etc.,  when  some  good 
choruses  would  be  very  much  appreciated.  But 
let  us  be  satisfied  only  with  the  bed. — Cathell.

It  may  fairly  be  claime/^  ifor  Sydenham  that 
less  than  most  of  his  contemporaries — less,  per- 
haps, than  any^did  he,  permit  preconceived 
notions  of  disease  or  trea|inent,  an<l  still  leas 
merely  authoritative  opinions,  to  step  in  between 
the  disease  and  the  observation.  He  took  cases 
as  he  found  them,  and  asked  what  they  taught, 
not  what  they  proved.  This  simple  recognition 
of  the  priority  of  direct  observation,  and  '-its 
paramount  supremacy  to  every  thing  else,  wats 
the  proclamation  of  what  is  now  an  old  truth, 
of  wliat  was  then  a  new  one,  and  of  what  is 
always  a  great  one. — Latham's  Life  of  Sydenham.

Physicians  render  more  gratuitous  service  than 
any  other  class  of  people  in  the  world.  In  fact 
they  are  the  only  persons  that  habitually  give 
away  their  time  and  knowledge  for  nothing. 
Allowing  that  there  are  in  the  U.  S.  more  than 
60,000  practicing^ physicians  and  that  each  does 
f  100  worth  of  charity  practice  a  year,  we  have 
six  million  dollars  of  charitable  labor  given  to 
the  poor   by  the   medical   profession  every  year.

News  has  been  received  of  the  decease  of  Dr. 
Norton  Roycc  Hntchlciss,  of  the  class  of  1891, 
which  occurred  at  his  residence  in  New  Haven, 
Conn.,  on  January  oOlli.  Death  was  due  to 
leuca'mia,  from  which  he  had  been  suffering  for 
some  years.  Recently  he  had  been  much  belter 
and  he  had  been  able  to  practice  until  the  last 
week  of  his  life. 

Dr.  Hotchkiss  was  born  at  Fort  Mill,  S.  C, 
August  23,  1870,  and  began  his  medical  studies 
at  the  South  Carolina  Medical  College,  later  en-

he  was  graduated  in  1891.  In  the  same  ye.ir  he

admirably,  and  for  the  ordinary  reader,  suffi- 
ciently portrayed  in  this  h  indy  little  volume  of 
593  pages,  complete  1  at  Weimar  in  1855.

of  immense  scop3  and  are  not  to  be  giuged  by

be  found  here-?  "The  man  is  too  great  and  good 
to  forfeit  our  love  because  on  some  points  he  may 
incur  our  blame."  Mu(di  spice  is  devoted  to 
analysis  and  criticism  of  the  poet's  works  and 
also  to  his  scientific  writings  which  took  up  so 
much  of  his  time  and  attention.  Goethe  wrote 
profusely  and  on  widely  different  subjects.  His 
writings  are  far  from  luiitorm;  some  are  nearer 
perfection,  perhaps,  than  has  b(*n  attained  by 
any  other  German  author,  others  are  weak  and 
inane.  His  poetry  is  all  good  and  his  lyrics  are 
matchless.  The  lives  of  great  men  are  full  of 
inspiration  and  instruction  and  one  will  do  well 
to  study  that  of  Goethe  in  these  pages.

The  Life  of  Pasieur,  by  Rene  Vallery-Radot. 
Translated  from  the  P'rench  by  ]\lrs.  R.  L.  De- 
vonshire, with  a  Foreword  by  Sir  William  Osier, 
Bart.,  F.  R.  S.,  Regius  Professor  of  Medicine  in 
the  University  of  Oxford.     "2    vols.  Lond.,  1911. 

The  life  of  the  great  Frenchman,  as  here  de- 
tailed in  464  pages,  is  full  of  interest — thrilling 
interest,  for  tlie  discoveries  of  this  man  were  in 
the  truest  sense  epoch-making,  and  almost  every 
page  is  vibrant  with  sensation  and  progress.  It 
is  well  known  that  Pasteur  was  a  chemist  and 
that  he  took  up  biological  problems  almost  by 
accident.  The  study  of  the  action  of  yeast  led 
him  to  realize  the  true  nature  of  fernjentation, 
that  is,  that  it  is  due  to  t!ie  action  of  minute  living 
organisms.  If  this  were  so.  why  might  not  simi- 
lar bodies  be  concerned  in  the  iiroduction  of 
putrid  and  suppurative  disea>es?  .As  each  fer^ 
m.entation  is  produced  by  a  special  oiganism,  so 
each  infectious  disease  is  prtiduced  by  a  special 
organism  within  the  body.  The  apiihcation  of 
this  discovery  led  to  the  great  revolution  in  sur- 
gery known  as  antiseiJtic  surgery.  Dr.  Osier 
sums  up  his  opinion  of  Pasteur,  "that  he  was 
the  most  perfect  man  who  has  ever  entered  the 
Kingdom  of  Science,"

Dr.  Ranilolph  Winslow's  fourth  paper  of  the 
"See  America  First"  series  (Dec.  Hos/i.  Bull.) 
begins  with  a  second  visit  to  San  Francisco,  the 
firi*t  having  been  made  shortly  before  the  earth- 
quake of  1905.  Enormous  progress  has  been 
made  in  rebuilding  but  the  city  has  lost  much  of 
its  oriental  appearance.  The  city  extends  frqm 
the  bay  westward  to  the  ocean,  a  distance  of 
about  five  miles,  with  the  narrow  Golden  Gate, 
through  whi(vli  all  i(s  oimnierce  passes,  on  the 
north.  The  weather  was  raw,  damp  and  cold 
an<l  overcoats  w^ere  worn  with  comfort.  Acrc^s 
the  bay  is  the  city  of  Berkeley,  the  streets  of 
which  are  lined  with  banks  of  flowers.  Here  is 
located  the  University  of  California,  occupying 
a  reservation  of  GOO  acres,  with  50  buildings  and 
3,500  students.  Continnous  with  Berkeley  are- 
Oakland,  Alameda  and  Piedmont,  the  four  hav- 
ing a  population  of  213,000,  one-half  that^f 
San  Francisco.  Oakland  is  an  especially  hustling 
city.  It  is  the  home  of  "Borax  Smith,"  so- 
called  from  having  marie  a  great  forttme  by 
hauling  borax  from  Death  Valley,  and  also  con- 
tains an  ostrich  form. 

On  July  G  he  took  train  on  the  Southern 
Pacific  R.  R.  and  crossing  a  mountain  range  first 
visited  the  big  trees  of  Santa  Cruz,  giant  red- 
woods over  300  feet  high, 00  feet  in  circumference 
and  supposed  to  be  4,000  years  or  more  old. 
They  rise  100  feet  before  giving  oft'  a  branch; 
above  that  the  branches  and  foliage  are  abundan,t.. 
Many  of  them  are  hollow.  Santa  Cruz  is  the 
"Atlantic  Oity  of  the  Pacific  Coast."  Monterey, 
on  a  bay  of  the  same  name,  was  the  first  Spanish 
capital  of  the  country  and  contains  the  old  San 
Carlos  Mission.  At  Point  Conception,  a  view  was 
had  of  the  steamship  Santa  Rosa,  wliich  had 
gone  ashore  in  a  fog  the  previous  daj'  and  l>roken 
in  two.  After  a  visit  to  Santa  Barbara,  where 
there  is  the  best  preserved  Spanish  mission,  he 
returned  to  Los  Angeles  and  began  his  return 
join-ney  across  the  continent.  After  a  continuous 
run  of  781  miles  across  the  desert  of  Lower  Cali- 
fornia and  Nevada,  Salt  Lake  City  was  reached.

from  ur;ismia  following  an  operation  at  the  Johns 
Hopkins  Hospital,  on  Decemlier  30th,  occasioned 
there.  We  were  associated  at  University  Hospi- 
tal, he  being  resident  student  and  I  assisljint 
physicrian  and  I  learned  then  to  appreciate  fully 
his  ability,  his  conseientioushess  and  his  high 
moral  character. 

He  was  a  native  of  Washington  City  an<l 
descended  from  old  Maryland  families.  Wliile 
in  his  Junior  year  at  Georgetown  College  he  en- 
listed in  the  Confederate  Army,  serving  fr.iin 
October  1862  to  the  end  of  the  war  in  the  First 
Maryland  Cavalry.  He  was  wounded  ani|  i-.i\>- 
tured  in  battle  and  was  confined  at  Camp  Chase, 
Ohio,  for  six  months.  After  the  war  he  prepared 
for  practice  under  the  private  tutelage  of  Profes- 
sor Richard  McSherry  and  received  his  degree  at 
the  University  of  Maryland  in  18fi9.  Shortly 
after  he  removed  to  Plainfield,  where  his  future 
years  were  spent.  Besides  his  private  practice, 
he  was  city  physician  and  coroner  and  examiner 
for  the  Mutual  and  Penn  Mutual  Insurance  Com- 
panies.    He  leaves  a  widow  and  several  children. 

A  friend  writing  of  Dr.  Boone,  says:  "He 
was  a  gentleman  of  the  old  school,  with  a  reifine- 
7nent  and  courtesy  that  were  an  integral  pafj;  of 
his  make-up.  His  charity  was  boundless  M}'i 
while  he  was  a  most  devout  member  of  the  R.  0. 
Church  he  knew  no  distinction  when  his  services 
were  needed.  No  day  was  two  storm j',  no  night 
too  dark  when  duty  calletl.  In  the  liistory  of 
Plainfield  there  has  not  been  one  who  has  died 
wliose  loss  will  be  so  sorely  felt  by  the  poor."

Pasteur  visited  Liebig,  the  most  determineil  of 
his  adversaries,  at  Miinich,  in  July,  1870.  He 
thought  it  impossible  that  Liebig 's  ideas  of  fer- 
mentation should  not  have  been  altered  since 
1847.  Liebig  could  not  be  still  affirming  that 
the  presence  of  decomposing  animal  or  vegetable 
matter  should  be  necessary  to  fermentation. 
That  theory  had  been  destroyed  when  Pasteur 
Sowed  a  trace  of  yeast  in  water  containing  only 
sugar  and  crystalized  salts  and  had  seen  this 
yeast  multiply  itself  and  produce  a  regular  alco- 
holic fermentation. 

Since  all  organized  organic  matter  (consti- 
tuting the  ferment  according  to  Liebig)  was  ab- 
sent, Pasteur  considered  that  he  thus  proved  the 


life  of  the  ferment  (microscopic  animalcule) 
and  the  absence  of  any  action  from  albumenoid 
matter  in  a  state  of  decomposition.  The  death 
phenomenon  now  appeared  as  a  life  phenomenon. 
Plow  could  Liebig  deny  the  independent  exist- 
ence of  ferments  in  their  infinite  littleness  and 
their  power  of  destroying  and  transforming  every- 
thing? When  Pasteur  entered  Liebig's  laboratory, 
the  tall  old  man,  in  a  long  frock  coat,  received 
him  with  kindly  courtesy  but  refused  all  discus- 
sion.    Radot.

The  proposal  to  turn  over  a  million  and  a  half 
dollars  of  the  State's  money  to  the  Johns  Hop- 
kins University,  to  found  a  xckool  nf  technology  in 
Baltimore,  demands  serious  consiilei'ation  by  our 
legislators  before  they  adopt  it.  Our  people  are 
already  heavily  burdened  with  taxation  and 
with  many  it  is  even  now  a  case  nf  "the  last 
straw  on  the  camel's  hack."  The  rich,  the  Trus- 
tees and  friends  of  the  Hopkins,  who  are  urging 
this  appropriation,  may  not  feel  it,  but  it  will 
tell  with  the  great  mass  of  the  people,  those  who 
are  already  struggling  to  keep  their  heads  above 
water  and  who  are  facing  the  heavy  cost  of  sewer 
connections  and  sewer  tax,  hanging  like  a  pall 
over  them  this  year. 

The  Johns  Hopkins  is  a  rich  institution  and  it 
is  a  primte  institution  ;  it  does  not  need  the  help 
and  it  is  not  under  the  control  of  the  state.  To 
give  public  aid  to  private  institutions  is  a  thing 
of  very  doubtful  policy  and  should  be  exercised 
with  great  judgment.  It  is  very  ditficult  to  en- 
force a  sense  of  due  responsiliility  anJ  to  be 
certain  that  the  state's  money,  which  has  been 
wrung  from  the  hard-earned  sa\'ings  of  the  peo- 
ple, will  be  properly  used — used  strictly  and  only 
for  the  purposes  for  wdiich  it  was  given.  Specious 
pretexts  will  of  course  be  alleged  and  the  most 
altruistic  motives  be  assigne<l,  liut,  at  Imttom,  it 
is  a  shrewd  project  for  building  up  this  institu- 
tion with  the  revenues  of  the  State.  It  should 
seek  the  means  for  its  growtii  and  development

OLD  MAETLAND. 


There  lias  been  a  discussion  of  late  in  the  St. 
John^s  Colleginii  with  referenc^e  to  the  continuarice 
of  the  two  college  literary  societies,  which  it 
seems  have  reached  a  very  low  ebb.  Some  alum- 
ni are  in  favor  of  letting  them  die,  while  others 
urge  their  continuace.  It  appears  to  us  that  it 
would  be  a  sad  and  humiliating  day  when  the 
students  of  St.  John's  allow  these  organizaticms, 
which  have  formed  so  large  a  part  of  the  life  of 
the  institution  and  are  hallowed  by  so  many  as- 
sociations with  its  past,  to  be  abandoned.  It  is 
acknowledged  that  they  h;ive  served  a  purpose, 
that  they  have  stimulated  ciUege  spirit  and 
promoted  literary  culture  and  the  practice  of 
public  speaking.  Their  success  in  the  past  is  an 
assurance  that  they  can  be  successful,  if  properly 
supported,  in  the  present.  Why  not  try  a  new 
tack?  The  methods  of  the  past  may  not  suit 
today;  the  times  change  and  we  change  with 
them.  Even  our  religion  is  different  from  what 
it  was  in  the  days  of  our  fathers.  We  trust  that, 
the  members  will  get  together  and  see  if  the 
meetings  cannot  be  rendered  more  attractive. 
Perhaps  some  good  speakers  from  outside  could 
be  invited  to  participate  occasionally.  Have 
field  days.  Take  up  some  of  the  burning  ques- 
tions of  the  hour.  Get  advice  from  your  seniors. 
Don't  let  these  old  societies  perish,  we  beseech 
you  !  They  are  among  the  glories  of  your  ven- 
erable institution. 


Dr.  Ashby  concludes  his  account  of  A  Hurried 
Trip  Throiigh  Erirnpe,  in  the  December  Hospital 
BiiUetin.  Brussels  is  a  cosmopolitan  city  of 
900,000  inhabitants,  much  resembling  Paris. 
Its  laces,  tapestries,  carpets,  gold  and  silver  ware 
are  the  finest  made  in  Europe.  Waterloo  Avenue 
reminded  liim  of  Eutaw  Place.  Owing  to  the 
great  heat,  the  battlefield  of  Waterloo,  80  miles 
distant  was  not  visited.  The  ride  from  Brussels 
to  the  Hague  in  Holland  was  through  lowlands 
intersected  by  ditches  and  canals,  which  take  the 
place  there  of  fences.  Thousands  of  cattle, 
horses  and  sheep  were  to  be  seen  grazing  in  the 
fields  and  the  landscape  was  dotted  with  wind- 
mills. The  Dutch  farmers  are  by  compulsion 
dairymen  and    they  make   the  finest    butter  and

chee.fe  in  the  world.  On  the  way  to  the  Hague 
he  passed  the  liistoric  city  of  Antwerp,  on  the 
Schelde,  near  where  it  empties  into  the  North 
Sea,  at  one  time  the  largest  seaport  in  the  world, 
and  Rotterdam  on  the  other  side  of  the  Rhine, 
likewise  a  great  seaport,  much  reseml)ling  Venice 
and  celebrated  for  its  "Holland  gin."  At  the 
Hague  comfortable  accommodations  were  found 
at  the  Hotel  Belmont  where  English  is  spoken 
by  all  employees.  The  Hague  is  a  city  of  over 
2-50,000  and  is  the  capital  of  Holland;  it  i.^ 
located  in  a  dense  forrest  once  owned  by  the 
Counts  of  Holland,  in  the  midst  of  which  stands 
the  palace  of  the  Queen,  a  plain,  brick  structure. 
In  the  museum  are  the  works  of  Rembrandt, 
Rubens  and  Van  Dyck,  including  the  celebrated 
painting  "The  First  Dissection,"  by  the  first- 
named.  In  one  of  the  public  squares  stands  a 
heroic,  bronze  statue  of  William  of  Orange,  the 
founder  of  the  Dutch  Republic.  Within  .recent 
years  the  Hague  has  come  into  great  prominence 
as  the  place  where  the  International  Peace  Con- 
gresses are  held,  and  a  magnificent  marble  build- 
ing, the  gift  of  Mr.  Andrew  Carnegie,  is  .now 
in  course  of  construction  for  these  meetings.  A 
visit  was  made  to  Schevoneng,  three  miles  dis- 
tant on  the  North  Sea.  This  is  the  Atlantic  City 
of  Holland.  The  country  ii  densely  populated 
(400  to  the  square  mile)  and  every  acre  is  culti- 
vated to  its  fullest  capacity.  The  eastern  part  is 
elevated  and  son^ewhat  rolling  and  raises  wheat, 
rye,  oats,  potatoes  and  beets.  Berlin  was  hastily 
vi.-ited  and  Potsdam,  near  by,  .where  are  the 
grave  of  Frederick  the  Great  and  the  palace  of 
the  present  Emperor  of  Germany.  Finally  Ham- 
burg was  reached,  a  city  of  over  900,000  and, 
with  the  exception  of  London,  the  greatest  sea- 
port in  the  world.  It  is  on  the  Elbe,  60  miles 
from  the  sea  and  surrounds  a  largo  body  of  fresh 
water.  The  Hagenback  Zoological  Gardens  of 
50  acres  are  famous.  The  Hamburg- A-inerican 
Line  has  450  ocean  steamers  engaged  in  foreign 
trade.  Departure  was  made  from  Cuxhaven,  60 
miles  distant,  in  a  ci'owded  German  steamer,  and 
the  thirsty  and  home-sick  traveler  reached  home 
after  an  absence  of  forty-eight  days.  "No  more 
German  steamers  for  me,"  concludes  the  Herr 
Professor.

the  detriment  of  the  morals  of  our  youth.  A 
perversity  seems  to  have  taken  possession  of  some 
people,  showing  itself  in  a  disregard  of  the  de- 
cencies and  conventionalities  of.  societj'  and 
shameless  improprieties  of  gesture  and  conduct. 
A  short  time  ngo  a  dance  was  given  for  a  chari- 
table object  and  many  young  persons  gathered 
for  the  evening's  enjoyment.  As  soon  as  the  or- 
chestra struck  up,  a  certain  couple  began  what 
was  said  to  be  the  "turkey  trot"  and  all  through 
the  evening  they  persisted  in  the  disgusting  and 
shameful  performance,  although  they  were  again 
and  again  told  by  those  in  charge  that  it  must 
be  stopped. 

Dancing  is  a  graceful  and  entirely  proper 
thing  and  can  be  made  tlie  source  of  much  in- 
nocent enjoyment  if  indulged  in  in  moderation. 
Nothing  is  more  pleasing  and  exhiliarating  than 
to  behold  a  beautiful  dancer: 

'iler  irrace  of  motion  and  of  look,  tlie  smootli 
.And  swimniitiir  maji-'Stv  of  step  and  tread, 
The  sym  netiT  of  form  aiitl  feature,  set 
The  «ou!  afloat,  even  like  delirious  airs 
of  flute  anrl  har  ■."' 

But  far  otherwise  mu.st  it  be  when  the  dancer 
has  lost  her  sense  of  sliame  and  gives  herself  up 
with  abandon  to  unrestricted  license  of  limb  and 
gesture.  Let  the  young  enjoy  themselves  to  the 
fullest  extent  but  let  them  keep  within  the 
bounds  which  modesty  and  virtue  have  estab- 
lished. So  only  will  we  prosper  as  individuals 
and  as  a  country.

Generous  and  self-sacrificing,  the  Dnrtor's  own 
aches  and  pains  must  be  concealed  or  go  unno- 
ticed, and  being  the  slave  of  the  sick  public,  he 
must  face  loathsome  and  contagious  diseases  and 
inhale  foul  and  noxious  vapors,  miasms  and 
poisons;  encounter  the  filthiest  kind  of  tilth, 
endure  the  worst  kinds  of  odors  and  perform 
many  disagreeable  and  disgusting  duties,  amid 
embarrasments,  anxieties    and  vexations. 

He  knows  nothing  of  the  pleasant  6bscurities 
of  retirement,  but  liiust  be  ready  at  any  and 
every  hour  and  has  actually  no  time  that  he  can 
call  his  own.  Neither  parlor,  dining  room  nor 
bed-chamber  is  exempt  from  the  sudden  and  im- 
perative call.  The  darker  the  night,  the  more 
howling  the  storm,  the  more  likely  is  he  to  be 
needed  and  arOused  from  sleep  to  go  to  the 
chamber  of  suffering. 

He  must  bear  all  temperatures,  perspiring  in 
August  suns  and  freezing  in  December  blasts, 
drowned  with  the  rains  and  choked  with  the 
dust;  he  must  hurry  here  and  run  there,  hungry 
at  noon  or  sleejiy  at  midnght,  while  others,  ob- 
livious to  care,  are  resting  or  being  refreshed  by 
sleep. 

He  must  be  with  his  patients  at  all  season?,  in 
sorrow  and  joy,  in  death  or  recovery,  from  the 
dawn  of  life  to  its  sunset. 

In  war,  too,  the  surgeon's  position  is  full  of

Jwhoii,  in  Miss  Mary  .Johnston's  hook — The 
Long  RoU — which  has  been  so  much  objected  to

kitchen  chair,  his  feet  in  enormous  cavalry  boots, 
planted  precisely  before  him,  his  hands  rigid  at 
liis  sides.  Here  he  tran.'^acted  the  business  of 
each  day,  and  here,  when  it  was  over,  he  sat 
facing  the  North.  An  awkward,  inarticulate 
and  peculiar  man,  with  strMiige  notions  about 
his  health  and  other  matters,  there  was  about 
him  no  breath  of  grace,  romance  and  pomp  of 
war.  He  was  ungenial,  ungainly,  with  large 
hands  and  feet,  with  poor  eyesight  and  a  stiff  ad- 
dress. There  did  not  lack  spruce  and  handsome 
youths  in  his  command  who  were  vexed  to  the 
S'lul  by  the  idea  of  being  led  to  battle  by  such  a 
figure.  The  facts  that  he  had  fought  very  bravely 
in  Mexico,  and  that  he  had  for  the  enemy  a  cold 
and  formidable  hatred,  were  for  him;  most  other 
tilings  against  him.  He  drilled  his  troops  seven 
hours  a  day.     His  discipline  was  of  the  sternest.

disobedience  of  orders — down  came  reprimand, 
suspension,  arrest,  with  an  iron  certitude,  a  re- 
lentlessness  quite  like  Nature's.  Apparently  he 
was  without  imagination.  He  had  but  little

Presbyterian  Church  twice  on  Sundays  and  to

something,  but  the  battles  bad  not  begun  and  his 
soldiers  hardly  knew  wh;ii  it  promised.  One 
or  two  observers  claimed  that  he  was  nnibi- 
tious,  but  these  were  chiefly  laufihed  at.  To  the 
brigade  at  lar^e  he  seemed  prosaic,  teilious  and 
sti'ict  enough,  performing  all  iluiies  with  the  ex- 
actitude, monotony  and  exijicsi-ion  of  a  clock, 
keeping  all  plans  with  the  seciecy  of  the  sepul- 
chre, rarely  sleeping,  rising  at  tlawn  and  requir- 
ing his  staff  to  do  likewise,  praying  at  all  seasons

night  the  dog  was  taken  with  convulsions  and 
she  sent  hastily  for  the  doctor.  lie  responded 
thinking  it  was  herself  and  was  surprised  to  find 
that  he  had  been  called  to  see  a  dog.  He  told 
her  that  he  knew  nothing  about  treating  dogs; 
she  replied  that  if  he  could  cure  her,  he  ought  1o 
lie  able  to  cure  her  dog.  He  said  be  could  only

murred but  he  told  her  he  would  charge  the  same 
for  the  dog  as  herself.  After  further  discussion 
she  paid  the  bill.

There  is  abroad  a  low  and  di grading  doctrine 
of  human  nature  which  is  fatal  to  high  moral 
endeavor.  There  are  many  igriorant  and  half 
educated  people  who  Vjelieve  that  the  theory  of 
evolution  has  proved  man  to  be  merely  a  brute. 
There  are  practical  materialists,  not  all  of  them 
by  any  means  Epicureans,  who  talk  as  though 
boiiiiy  appetites,  the  love  of  money,  the  desire  (}f 
power,  and  the  other  impulses  of  sellish  and  sen- 
sual life,  alone  constitute  the  reality,  of  human 
nature.  For  tliem  man  is  meiely  the  mo,  I  pow- 
erful and  cunning  of  all  the  animals.  What  we  call 
the  things  of  the  spirit — high  intelligence,  devo- 


tion to  beauty  ancl  truth,   nobility  of  cbiiractcr, 

unselfishness  and  humanity — are  to  these  barl>a- 

rian  critics  mere  ornaments  and  trappings  of  the 

human    animal    whose    real    essence  consists  in 

being  a  brute. — Presidant  Srhurman.

It  has  always  been  claimed  that  politeness  is 
an' essential  characteristic  of  the  true  gentleman, 
but  if  we  may  believe  Labouchere,  the  editor  of 
London  Truth,  the  Englishman  prides  himself  on 
its  absence  from  his  composition.  Anglican 
rudeness,  he  asserts,  is  an  element  of  strength, 
by  which  its  possessor  is  enaliled  to  ride  over  the 
world  rough  shod.  It  is  the  instrument  through 
which  he  so  successfully  rules  over  the  savage 
and  the  orientalist  and  enforces  the  respect  and 
oi)edience  of  his  servants.  Politeness  means  de- 
cadence, and  woe  is  the  day  for  the  English 
when  they  adopt  good  manners. 

Men  may  talk  as  Labouchere  does,  but  in 
their  hearts  they  cherish  a  higher  ideal  than 
that  which  he  basset.  The  character  of  such  a 
man  as  Robert  K.  Lee  will  ever  remain  the  true 
ideal  of  human  endeavor  and  manners  cannot  be 
left  out  of  consiileration  in  our  definition  of

AN  EXPERIENCE   IN  EAST  LONDON. 

BY  E.   K.  TULLIDGE,   MED.    '13. 

Resolved  to  ascertain  the  existing  conditions 
concerning  the  large  number  of  men  without 
work,  I  found  myself  dressed  in  moleskins  and 
a  ragged  coat  on  London  Bridge,  before  the  first 
flush  of  dawn  revealed  St.  Paul's  Cathedral  and 
the  monument  looming  against  the  sky.  I  had 
one  halfpenny  in  my  pocket,  and  had  resolved  to 
touch  no  food  for  24  hours  unless  I  had  earned 
it.  Billing3p;ate  seemed  a  bustling  place  for  a 
willing  hand  to  try  for  a  job,  so  to  Billingsgate  I 
repaired.  Seeing  a  couple  of  men  engaged  in 
transferring  haddock  from  the  market  to  a  wagon , 
I  civilly  asked  the  "guv'nor''  for  a  job.  A  tor- 
rent of  that  langdage,  for  which  the  market  has 
obtained  European  notoriety,  rewarded  my  ap- 
plication, and  I  retired  with  as  much  equanimity 
as  disappointed  ambition  would  allow.  Pacing 
on  to  Tower  Hill,  one  of  the  sentries  spoke  to 
me  and  asked  me  for  news  of  Cook.  At  least  a 
dozen  tiines  during  the  next  twenty-four  hours 
Cook  was  the  sal)ject  of  conversation,  in  which  I 
shared,  ami  until  then  I  had  no  conception  how 
deeply  the  character  and  tlie  pseudo-achievements 
of  the  imposter  had  impressed  themselves  on 
what  politely  was  termed  the  lower  classes. 

TO    THE    DOCK    GATES. 

At  the  Tvondon  Dock  gate  entrance,  a  couple 
of  luuiilrcd  men  were  congregated,  leaning 
against  the  grimy  walls.  I  entered  into  conver- 
sation Willi  a  blue-eyed  young  m.in  of  sinister 
appearance.  From  him  I  learned  that  at  half- 
past  eight  a  bell  would  toll,  that  tlie  great  gates 
would  open  and  that  what  casu.il  labor  was  re- 
quired would  be  tal<en  on.  As  the  hand  of  the 
clock  approached  bue  luilf-liour,  the  mnnbei'.soi 
the  crowd  increased.  At  the  opening  of  iho 
gates  no  fewer  than  seven  hundred  sircamcd  in 
toward  a  chain  barrier  placed  across  the   broad 


approach  to  the  quayside.  Opinions  were  freely 
cxpres-e  1  and  tolerably  unanimous  that  work 
would  only  be  obtained  by  ticket  men — that  is, 
men  who  by  previous  employment  in  the  place 
had  received  copper  vouchers  of  the  fact,  and 
the  prior  claim  of  this  higher  branch  of  the 
profession  was  canvassed  in  language  remarkable 
rather  for  freedom  than  for  purity.  And  so  it 
turned  out.  When  the  stout  official  had  chosen 
his  ticket  men,  about  a  dozen  casuals  were 
drafted  through  the  iron  chains.  As  these  tickets 
were  issued  from  a  barricaded  roster,  men 
leaped  on  each  other's  backs  and  dragged  them- 
selves frantically  over  the  surging  sea  of  strug- 
gling humanity.  Passion  and  determination 
were  expressed  in  every  man's  countenance. 
Remembering  that  if  I  would  eat  I  too  must  try 
for  work,  I  threw  myself  into  the  scrimmage  and 
football  days  returned  with  painful  reality.  Fight- 
ing and  pushing,  hacking  and  being  hacked, 
hot,  breathless,  and  unsuccessful,  I  emerged  from 
the  crowd  with  my  ragged  coat  more  ragged  and 
with  my  heart  within  me  stirred  to  a  clearer  un- 
derstanding of  the  cause  of  the  demand  for 
Government  work.  After  this  effort  I  turned 
disconsolate  for  the  sake  of  my  companions  who 
flocked  listlessly  out  of  the  gates  in  search  of 
other  work.  A  "Call"  may  take  place  a  dozen 
times  a  tlay  at  a  dozen  places  within  a  mile. 
And  although  I  did  not  see  as  great  a  crowd  as 
that  gathered  at  the  Lonlon  Djcks,  I  partici- 
pated in  live  similar  scrimmiges  by  1  P.  M. 

A  RACE  FOR  A  JOB. 

Shortly  before  midday,  I  was  once  more  at  the 
bottom  of  the  hill  skirting  the  Tower,  and  very 
hungry.  A  lisli  ban-ow,  overloadel  and  under- 
nianiird,  propelled  by  a  we.d<ly-looking  man  with 
a  kindly  r.iL-e  and  grey,  lar-away  eyes,  attracted 
my  a  U'liUon  and  raised  my  hopes.  Running 
to  ihe  ^p-ji,  and    alarmed  lest  my  design  should

be  anticipated  hy  a  sharper  pair  of  eye?,  I  re- 
spectfully ofl'ereii  my  services.  Tiiey  were  ac- 
cepted, and  I  helped  to  push  the  fishy  load  up 
the  hill,  doing  I  airi  bounil  to  say,  more  than 
half  the  work,  Tlie  man  asked  me  it'  I  was 
hungry.  As  I  had  had  nothing  but  the  penny 
cup  of  what  was  alleged  to  be  coffee  at  a  street 
stall,  at  5  A.  M.,  my  affirmative  answer  was 
borne  out  by  facts.  Tlie  mui's  face  did  not 
bely  his  heart,  for  wliea  I  had  puslied  his  cart  as 
far  as  he  wished  he  gave  me  two  pence,  which,  I 
have  sinee  been  given  to  understand  by  compe- 
tent authority,  was  grossly  i:i  excess  of  the 
compensation  price  of  my  services. 

A  DOCK  laborer's    DINNRR. 

Thanking  him,  I  looked  out  at  once  for  the 
nearest  ookshop.  Spying  oi\e  witii  some  sau- 
sages frizzling  in  the  winlo.v,  I  entered,  and 
bought  one  for  three  half-pence,  my  remaining 
half-p3nny  being  l,ii:l  out  in  ireal.  Hungry  as 
I  WIS,  the  flivor  of  the  siu^aje  was  sach  as  to 
sag:;est  spec.dations  as  to  its  antece  leuts,  which, 
though  natural  were  not  appetizing.  H  )rse  I 
hive  taste  I,  but  h  )rse  this  sausage  certainly  was 
nob.  A  piece  of  fat  in  the  middle,  of  strange

expert  evidence  on  that  sausage  and  should  have 
been  glad  to  share  the  fag-end  thereof  with  the 
senior  member  of  Parliament  for  that  county,  if 
he  would  have  solved  the  problem  of  its  origin 
and  construction — a  problem  which  will  torment 
mj  to  my  dying  day. 

THRn:i<:  iiou'ks  for  fouri-een  punce. 

After  my  repast  was  completed  and  wiping  my 
nnuth  o:i  my  sleeve,  I  went  once  more  to  the 
dock  gates.  1  warily  withdrew  until  a  compact 
miss  of  fifty  eag;r  fai;es  and  out-stretched  hands 
had  clog|il  up  all  apiroich  to  the  gates.  Har- 
dening my  heart,  I  ran  at  the  crowd,  clutched 
hill  of  some  unfortunate  wight,  got  my  knees 
on  his  shoulders,  forced  down  his  hand — it  was 
all  for  liis  good — and  cried  "Mister,"  to  the 
man  who,  with   his   over  tiie  gate,  served   out  a

few  tickets.  I  received  one  and  though  heartily 
sorry  for  any  poor  wretch  whose  chance  I  had 
spoiled,  superseded  him  in  the  hope  of  arousing 
the  upper  classes  lo  a  sense  of  the  struggle  that  is 
going  on  at  their  doors.  My  work  was  of  a  sim- 
ple nature.  It  was  not  S)  hard,  fi)r  example,  as 
carrying  a  lOlb.  ritle  in  tropical  heat,  nor  did  it 
compare  with  climbing  th.e  mountains  of  Switz- 
erland, noi'  even  dragging  a  toboggan  at  tlie  end 
of  a  long  daj'  to  the  top  of  a  snow  slide.  Those 
things  I  have  done  as  well  as  I  could.  But  hand- 
ing bacon  into  a  wagon — or  rather  arranging 
the  b.icon  in  the  wagon,  for  the  wei-^ht  was  taken 
by  a  crane — vvas  not  laborious.  At  the  enil  of 
three  hours  I  received  fourteen  jence — I  believe 
I  should  have  received  a  penny  more  if  I  had 
had  my  rights,  but  I  was  not  disposed  to  be 
critical.  The  solace  of  tobacco  was  now  open  to 
me,  and  as  I  had  resolved  to  touch  no  more  food 
that  day,  that  I  might  on  the  following  morning 
comprehend  tlie  circumstances  under  which  tens 
of  thousands  of  honest  men  seek  their  bread, 
rest  was  the  object  of  my  immediate  search. 

A    DEFENCE    OF    DRINK. 

I  made  use  of  my  period  of  rest  to  converse 
with  many  of  my  colhagues.  Oiie  young  gentle- 
man who  had  seen  better  days  in  the  coster- 
monger's  line,  avowed  himself  an  ardent  ad- 
mirer of  Mr.  Asquiib.  As  far  as  I  could  gather, 
he  was  of  the  opinion  that  Mr.  Asquitli's political 
ucliievemenls  were  likely  to  lead  to  the  Govern- 
ment doing  something  for  the  unemployed  in 
London.  AH  to  whom  I  spoke  expressed  a  wish 
for  work,  which  was  evidentl.y  near  their  hearts. 
Some  of  them  were  "dossing" — that  is,  wander- 
ering  the  streets  all  night — because  the  4d.  lodg- 
ing was  a  lu.xury  beyond  tlieir  means,  and  be- 
cau-e  their  passionate  hatred  of  Ihe  workhouse 
was  stronger  liian  their  love  of  life  itself.  Com- 
pared with  the  average  daily  life  of  a  Chinese 
coolie  in  his  oriental  country,  the  life  of  the 
Lo;idon  men  who  cannot  get  work,  and  are  there- 
fore driven  down  to  the  lowest  point  consistent 
with  the  maintenance  of  life,  is  hell  itself. 
Never  alone,  never  quiet,  with  his  food  adulter- 
ated, and  bis  only  agreeable  drinks  debarred 
from  him  by  price  and  by  expediency,  is  it  re- 
markable that  the  poor  men  do  not  favor  the  ex- 
isting state  of  things  ?  The  London  Belleville 
and  Montmartre  contain  passions  as  tempestuous 
and  men  as  determined  as  Paris  itself.     But  the

English  unemployed  working  man  has  at  heart 
a  fund  of  hope  which  deters  liim  from  either 
turning  communisl  or  taking  to  drink.  It  is  a 
libel  on  the  majority  of  working  men  to  say 
they  all  drink  too  much.  My  wonder  is  that 
they  do  not  drink  more.  Beauty,  humor,  sun- 
shine in  thrir  lives  there  is  none.  Un(Jer  Sicil- 
lian  skies,  oranges  and  eau  suere  supply  all  stim- 
ulant needed.  With  English  earth  paved  away 
from  under  their  feet,  or  with  sky  blotted  out  by 
a  canopy  of  smoke  and  fog,  what  wonder  that 
men  tly  to  the  only  talisman  that  e.xcites  their 
imaginations  and  destroys  for  a  time  the  dogged 
spectres  of  want  and  despair  ?  It  is  heterodox 
to  say  so,  liut  there  is  a  good  side  to  the  drink 
itself,  and  it  is  this — so  far  as  drink  carries  a 
man  from  nuiery  to  happiness,  it  is  good,  how- 
ever dearly  furgetfalness  be  purchased,  and  how- 
ever sordid  the  happiness  may  be. 

AX    EVEXINC.    AT    THE    PAV. 

After  gathering  up  my  fragments  of  the  peo- 
ple's feelings  and  opinions,  I  wandered  on  to 
the  "Pav''  in  Whiteehapel  Road,  and  paying 
fourpence  for  admission,  listened  to  as  sugges- 
tive and  in  part  as  vulgar  an  entertainment  as 
Belial  himself  cuuld  supply.  The  place  was 
crammed,  and  probably  si.\:teeii  hundred  people 
were  present.  In  the  course  of  the  performance, 
two  gentlemen  differed  on  the  subject  of  their 
respective  pi-etensions  to  the  hand  of  a  young 
lady  who  accompanied  one  of  them.  Unable  to 
adjust  their  dill'erences  in  other  ways,  they  had 
recourse  to  a  personal  encounter,  which  was  car- 
ried on  with  much  spirit,  till  the  "chuckers- 
out"  intervened.  As  I  had  had  enough  of  the 
play  and  the  dances,  I  accompanied  the  cortege, 
and  was  not  surprised  to  ste  that  the  combat  was 
resumed  <>u  the  rivals  being  liberated  in  the 
street.  The  fair  Helen  of  the  affair,  having  ex- 
pressed her.-elf  in  terms  other  than  those  usually 
taught  at  a.  high-class  finishing  schnol  for  young 
ladies,  consoled  herself  with  the  society  of  a 
third  gentleman,  whose  personal  beauty  was  ini- 
paireil  liy  the  possession  of  but  one  eye.

It  was  now  11  P.  M.,  and  I  had  to  think  of

found  what  I  wanted--a  fourpenny  "doss-house." 
Paying  my  four  pence  to  a  man  at  a  gutchet  win- 
dow, I  received  a  brass  ticket  with  the  number 
276.  With  this  ticket  I  entered  a  large,  low- 
roofed  kitchen  with  two  blazing  fires  and  si.x  gas 
jets.  About  a  hundred  men  were  sitting  here 
engaged  in  various  pursuits.  I  quicklj^  gathered 
that  there  were  two  divisions.  The  quiet  men 
sat  and  slept  at  cme  end  of  the  house,  and  the 
more  nomadic  and  adventurous  spirits  at  the 
other.  Every  now  and  then,  a  man  would  cook  a 
''two-eyed  steak" — anglice,  a  herring  and  eat  it 
with  gladness  aud  singleness  of  heart.  Others  were 
eating  drj-  bread  of  a  very  problematical  origin. 
Butterineat  Is.  a  pound  was  sold  on  the  premises, 
and  tea  at  Id.  an  ounce  was  mollified  with  milk 
that  sank  as  a  white  precipitate  to  the  bottom  of 
the  mug,  and  with  sugar  that  sulphuric  acid  itself 
could  not  entirely  dissolve.  There  was  a  sub- 
dued and  depressed  air  over  the  whole  of  the 
men  They  conversed  in  undertones.  The  fea- 
tttre  that  struck  me  most  was  the  leanness — the 
gauntness  of  the  men.  They  were  a  hungered 
set  with  wild  eyes.  They  were  not  living  men's 
li\e3,  they  were  many  of  them,  existing  on  the 
proceeds  of  the  hour. 

"sweet  sleep." 
At  last  the  fatal  moment  could  no  longer  be 
delayed,  and  up  to  bed  I  went.  I  had  l)een  ap- 
prised that  it  was  necessary  to  take  one's  boots 
to  bed,  also  any  apparel  that  one  wished  to  re- 
sume. If  these  precautions  were  not  taken,  the 
necessities  of  the  moment  might  not  proba- 
bly have  clouded  in  detail  those  views  of  personal 
property  which  Mr.  Chamberlain  has  under- 
mined in  the  mass.  Accordingly  I  surrounded 
myself  with  my  portable  property  and  lay  down 
in  a  small  room  in  which  eight  tuckle  beds  were 
side  by  side.  The  exigencies  of  convention  for- 
bid a  straightforward  description  of  the  night  I 
parsed.  The  gentleman  who  occupied  the  bed 
that  was  on  my  right  was  drunk  and  disorderly. 
Tlie  gentleman  on  my  left  was  sick,  while  the 
five  others  appeared  to  find  no  other  offering  to 
Morpbeus  more  acceptable  than  a  concerto  of 
rcgui'gitatiuns  and  nasal  bombilations,  which

As  to  the  foetid  smell,  or  "crowd  poison,"  as 
Professor  Seneca  Egbsrfc  would  say,  I  wish  to  say 
nothing  more  than  that  I  now  for  the  first  time 
understood  the  full  meaning  of  Dante  ranking 
one  of  the  circles  of  liis  Inferno  a  circle  of  bad 
smells. 

CONCLUSION    AND     MORAL. 

At  5.30  A.  M.  I  rose  with  "a  splitting  head- 
ache, and  went  out  into  the  cold  niornins  air  as 
though  to  look  for  work  on  an  empty  stomach. 
Thousands  of  poor  fellows  have  to  do  this  daily, 
and  the  suffering  I  felt  from  w^ant  of  food  pass- 
ed away  at  the  thought  that  my  fellow  country- 
men and  women  only  needed  to  know  of  the 
pain  and  preventable  misery  that  is  going  on 
everywhere,  in  order  to  set  to  work  anew  to 
grapple  with  a  problem  that  is  only  scratched  at 
present.  It  is  not  money  that  is  wanted.  A 
man  who  gives  a  thousand  pounds  has  not  re- 
deeined  the  duty  that  devolves  on  him.  Emi- 
gration on  a  larger  scale  than  any  that  has 
liitlierto  been  attempted  is  the  more  obvious  and 
the  more  ready  means  of  coping  with  the  dis. 
t"ess  at  our  doors.  But  while  emigration 
schemes  are  preparing,  the  people  are  starving. 
As  there  is  no  municipality  for  London,  it  is 
necessary,  that  the  Imperial  Government  should 
replace  the  local  powers,  and  that  relief  woi'k 
should  be  provided ,  resulting  in :  1 ,  The  reduction 
of  the  apparent  volume  of  distress  to  its  real  limits, 
since  no  man  willing  to  work  could  truthfully 
allege  that  he  could  not  get  work;  2,  In  afi'ord- 
ing  time  for  the  organization  of  a  national  emi- 
gration scheme;  3,  Tlie  recognition  l)y  the  Gov- 
ernment of  the  principle  of  responsibility  for 
life.  Thus  the  lives  of  mankind  would  be  pre-- 
served  instead  of  being  lost  or  drafted  into  the 
criminal  ranks. 


RECOLLECTIONS  OF  SLAVE  DAYS 
AND  WAR  TIMES. 

By  the  Editor. 
{Continued  frovi  page  16). 
About  Dec.  1,  1865,  winter  having  set  in,  Gor- 
don's, Pegram  s  and  Ramseur's  Divisions  were 
sent  back  to  Lee,  one  at  a  time,  and  simulta- 
neously the  6th  Corps  and  one  division  of  Crook 
returned  to  Grant.  Our  Division  of  Infantry 
(Wharton),  the  cavalry  and   most   of  the   artil- 


lery were  retained  in  the  Valley.  On  Dec.  16, 
Early  moved  the  remains  of  his  command  liack 
towards  Staunton.  On  the  19th  the  enemy's 
cavalry  umler  Caster  followed  us,  while  two  di- 
visions under  Torbert  crossed  the  Blue  Ridge  in 
the  direction  of  G-ordonsville.  The  next  day, 
in  a  hail  storm,  our  division  moved  towards  Plar- 
risonburg  and  on  the  21st  before  day,  the  inde- 
fatigable Rosser  attacked  Custer  in  camp,  nine 
miles  north  of  that  p'ace  and  drove  him  in  con- 
fusion down  the  Valley.  We  then  returned  to 
Staunton  and  on  the  2ord,  a  part  of  the  division 
was  sent  by  rail  to  Cbarlottetville  to  meet  T(ir- 
bert.  He  did  not  approach  that  place,  having 
been  met  and  repulsed  at  Gonlonsviile.  Early 
now  establisheel  his  headquarters  at  S:aunton, 
Rosser  being  west  of  (hit  place,  and  our  division 
and  Nelson's  artillery  at  Waynesboro  on  tlie 
railroad,  to  tlie  east. 

The  long  and  lianl  campaign  was  now  at  la-i 
over  and  we  set  to  Avork  upon  our  winter  quar- 
ters. Begun  by  us  with  spii-it  and  liigb  hopes, 
it  had  closed  in  gloom  and  almost  despair.  How 
much  Early  was  directly  responsible  for  the  re- 
sult can  lie  judged  from  this  narrative.  It  was 
now  apparent  that  without  some  unlooked  for 
succor,  we  could  not  successfully  resist  through 
another  campaign. 

\A'e  tliscussed  these  matters  through  the  win- 
ter by  our  cabin  tii-es  and  ti'ied  to  cheer  each 
other  up.  The  situation  was  dismal  in  tlie  ex- 
treme, but  I  never  heard  any  proposal  to  aban- 
don the  contest.  In  looking  back  over  the  late 
campaign, wc  found  that  notwiilistanding  our  ter- 
rible disasters — to  which  the  Valley  of  Virginia 
was  especially  a  stranger — we  had  inflicted  se- 
vere loss  on  the  enemy.  We  liacl  taken  between 
5000  and  6000  prisoners.,  and  Sheridan's  loss  in 
killed  and  wounded,  according  to  his  own  state- 
ment, was  near  1-4,000.  His  entire  loss  could 
not  have  been  far  from  double  our  own  force. 
At  th.e  close  of  the  year,  he  occupied  no  more  of 
our  territory  than  at  the  begining,  and  his  head- 
quarters Were  still  as  before  at  Winchezter.  But, 
however  divergent  and  disproportionate  the 
losses,  they  were  fatal  to  us.  Our  prest'ge  and

self-dependence  were  gone.  Our  supplies,  both 
of  material  and  men,  were  exhausted,  and  we 
ciuild  less  afford  to  lose  one  man  than  the  enemy 
two. 

Bes-ides,  our  beloved  Valley  was  in  ruins. 
From  being  the  garden  spot  of  \'irginia,  the  rich- 
est and  most  productive  part  of  her  territory,  it 
was  now  swept  and  S'lrniijbed.  Under  the  ruth- 
less exactions  of  war,  its  barns,  its  stacks  of  hay 
and  straw,  and  its  stores  of  corn,  had  become 
the  prey  of  the  ei.emy's  terrible  ally — the  all-de- 
vouring flames — and  there  was  scarcely  suste- 
nance left  to  keep  alive  man  or  beast.  For 
months  we  had  lieen  on  starvation  rations,  con- 
sisting of  three-fiiurths  lb.  of  cornmeal  and  one- 
fourth  II).  of  middling  a  day  and  nnt'iinf/ cUe. 
On  this — the  ration  of  one  man,  I  and  my  ser- 
vant subsisted,  very  rarely  lieing  able  to  purchase 
something  oulfide  the  camp. 

Our  winter  quarters,  ju-t  westof  Wayneslioro, 
were  quite  comfortable.  The  conimamlcr  of  my 
biigade.  Col.  Tliomas  Sn)ith,  of  the  36th  Vir- 
ginia, was  a  fine  officer,  and  the  discipline  im- 
proved greatly  under  bis  direction.  Few  inci- 
dents characterized  the  period  of  this  lirief  en- 
campment— lasting  a  little  over  two  months. 
The  wcatlier  was  unusually  severe  and  supplies 
were  scarce  owing  to  the  great  drought  of  tlie 
previous  summer  ami  the  destruction  of  food  and 
forage  by  Sheridan.  We  had  a  heavy  fa.U  of 
snow  and  our  camp  was-  enlivened  liy  some  bat- 
tles with  snowijalls  between  our  brigade  and 
Wharton's — Echol's  brigade  liaving  been  early 
ordered  back  to  southwest  Virginia.  We  were 
ci impelled  to  send  our  horses  away  to  the  south- 
ern part  of  the  State  to  winter,  as  they  would 
have  perished  had  we  retained  them  in  the  Val- 
ley. Only  the  horses  for  a  few  pieces  of  Nelson's 
Artillery  remained  with  us.  At  one  time  a  prop- 
osition was  made  to  me  to  admit  to  my  com- 
pany a  large  number  of  youths  between  Hi  and 
IS  years  of  age,  who  had  been  enlisted  under  the 
law  governing  con.scription,  but  the  pressure  of 
the  immediately  occurring  events  prevented  any 
action  being  taken. 

I  had  forwarded  an  application  for  promotion 
to  Assistant  Adjutant  General,  with  the  rank  of 
captain,  an  ollice,  whose  duties  I  had  now  con- 
tinuously performed  since  the  previous  May.  1 
had  fully  earned  the  promotion  and  my  applica- 
tion had  the  favorable  endorsement  of  my   Lrig- 


ade  commander.  In  my  own  company,  from 
which  I  had  been  so  long  detached,  there  was  no 
chance  of  promotion,  although  the  Captain  and 
1st  Lieutenat  had  performed  no  duty  for  manv 
months,  the  former  being  under  arrest  for  cow- 
ardice, and  the  latter  being  disabled  by  an  in- 
jury to  his  foot,  said  to  have  iieen  received  by 
its  coming  in  contact  with  a  baj'onet  lying  on 
the  ground  in  one  of  the  charges  at  Riidiiuond. 
The  tardy  justice  of  promotion  never  reached  me, 
although  I  learned  after  the  war  that  my  com- 
mission of  Assistant  Adjutant  General  had  been 
made  out  at  the  time  of  my  capture. 

We  had  but  little  amusement  in  camp.  There 
were  no  books  to  read,  no  meetings  in  the  cabins 
for  song,  no  merry  makings,  such  as  we  had  at 
the  Narrows  of  New  Riv>'r,  in  Giles  County,  the 
previous  winter.  The  reverse  so  soon  to  overtal'e 
U".  seemed  to  overshadow  our  feelings  and  hopes 
Uke  Some  rising  cloud.  Our  fate  was  sealed  on 
the  2nd  of  March,  ISCio,  in  the  manner  which  I 
shall  now  proceed  to  describe. 

Early  was  kept  advised  of  the  movements  of 
the  enemy  by  telegraph  from  Newmarket  and  by 
signal  stations  beyond  that  point  down  the  Val- 
ley. Thus  when  Sheridan  started  from  Win- 
chester on  Feb.  27,  with  a  heavy  furce  of  cavalry 
and  .-irtillery,  it  was  immediately'  communicated 
to  us.  Rosser  matle  an  attempt  to  check  them 
with  a  small  force  at  Norlh  River,  near  Mt. 
Crawford,  on  March  1,  but  without  success,  and 
that  afternoon  they  approached  Staunton,  about 
twelve  miles  from  us.  By  daylight  of  the  2nd, 
we  moved  out  of  our  winter  quarters  and  took 
position  on  the  vcM  bank  of  the  river— towards 
the  enemy — at  the  edge  of  Waynesboro.  The 
river  here  curves  somewhat  forming  a  concavity 
towards  the  west.  We  occupied  a  line  acro-s 
this  curve,  about  a  mile  long  with  our  Hanks  ap- 
proaching the  river  bank.  Our  force  consisted 
of  1030  muskets  and  six  pieces  of  Nelson's  Ar- 
tillery, the  latter  being  stationed  on  the  right, 
on  a  hill  near  a  barn.     To  the  left  of  the  artil-

lery  was  the  36th  Regiment  and  beyond  this 
were  the  others,  until  on  the  extreme  left  came 
my  own  regiment — the  60th  Va.  The  last  had 
been  detached  from  the  rest  of  the  brigade  and 
thrown  out  in  skirmish  line  in  a  woods,  as  it 
was  only  in  that  way  we  wore  alile  to  cover  the 
entire  line. 

Our  left  flank  was  thus  our  weak  point  and 
the  enemy  were  quick  to  realize  the  fact.  Early 
left  it  unnecessarily  exposed  a?  some  companies 
at  least  might  have  been  sent  from  our  centre  to 
strengthen  it. 

Our  men  endeavored  to  protect  themselves  as 
far  as  possible  by  rail  breastworks.  The  weather 
was  exceedingly  inclement  and  it  was  raining 
and  freezing.  At  every  step  our  feet  sank  into 
mud  nearly  ankle-deep,  and  the  river  behind  us 
was  swoolen  and  swift.  The  only  means  of  cross- 
ing it  was  a  narrow  railroad  bridge  with  a  sin- 
gle track  and  a  plank  in  the  centre.  Three 
miles  to  the  east  was  Rockfish  Gap  in  the  Blue 
Ridge  Mountain,  a  strong  position,  where  we 
could  have  safely  defied  an  enemy  many  times 
our  superior  in  numbers.  Early  says — "My  ob- 
ject in  taking  this  position  was  to  secure  the  re- 
moval of  five  pieces  of  artillery  for  which  there 
were  no  horses  and  some  stores  still  in  Waynes- 
boro, as  well  as  to  present  a  bold  front  to  the 
enemy  and  ascertain  the  object  of  his  movement, 
which  I  could  not  do  if  I  took  refutre  at  once  in 
the  mountain.  I  did  not  intend  making  my 
final  stand  on  this  ground,  yet  I  was  satisfied 
that  if  my  men  would  figlit,  which  I  had  no  rea- 
son to  doubt,  I  could  have  held  the  eiiemy  in 
check  till  night  and  then  crossed  the  river  and 
taken  position  in  the  Gap." 

About  noon  a  brigade  of  cavalry  nppcared  on 
the  road  from  Staunton,  but  retired  when  our 
artillery  opened  tire  on  it.  The  enemy  occupied 
our  attention  now  in  front,  whilst  they  sent  a 
strong  force — three  regiments  according  to  Cus- 
ter who  was  in  command  of  the  attacking  party 
— around  to  our  left.  Late  in  the  afternoon, 
the  latter  succeeded  in  breaking  through  our  thin 
skirmish  line  there.  General  Early  and  his  staff 
were   at  that  time  on  the  hill  to  the  left  of  the

barn,  near  our  artillery.  I  was  standing  close 
by,  watching  developments.  Early  says  that  he 
observed  the  force  of  the  enemy  moving  towards 
our  left  and  that  he  immediately  sent  a  messen- 
ger to  Wharton  who  was  on  that  flank,  to  an- 
nounce to  him  the  fact;  that  he  then  sent  an- 
other messenger  to  direct  that  the  guns  on  the 
left  should  be  fired  towards  the  advancing  force, 
which  could  not  lie  s  en  from  where  they  were 
stationed.  Watching  intently  our  left,  we  soon 
saw  a  commotion  there — our  me:^  giving  way 
and  immediately  after  the  Federal  Cavalry  dash- 
ing through  the  wood  to  the  river  and  begin- 
ning to  cross  at  the  ford.  Early  says  that  Whar- 
ton rode  up  at  that  momont,  when  he  pointed 
out  the  disorder  in  the  line  and  ordered  him  to 
ride  over  and  rectify  it.  I  did  not  see  Wharton 
approach,  but  as  soon  as  our  troops  began  to 
yield  upon  the  left.  Early  and  his  staff  galloped 
off  to  the  rear,  and  that  was  the  last  I  saw  of 
them.  The  men  being  thus  left  without  com- 
manders— the  gallant  Col.  Tliomas  Smith  being 
in  Richmond  at  that  time  and  the  brigade  being 
under  the  command  of  Lt.  Col.  Plfe,  of  the  36th 
Va.,  an  officer  of  whom  I  shall  only  say  he  was 
about  as  useful  on  such  an  occasion  as  a  human 
effigy — held  their  position  for  a  time.  There 
was  no  excitement  or  panic,  everybody  was  calm 
and  wondering  why  there  were  no  officers — no 
orders.  Wharton  did  not  appear.  Slowly  the 
line  began  to  give  way  from  left  to  right.  For  a 
time  we  marched  slowly  in  ranks,  then  the  pace 
became  swifter,  then  as  we  approached  the  nar- 
row bridge  the  men  began  to  douhlequick.  The 
Hagbearer  of  the  36th,  a  young  man  who  had 
been  with  me  in  the  rear  guard  which  I  com- 
manded on  the  retreat  fromCloyd's  Mountain, 
gave  way  and  fell  exhausted  to  the  ground.  I 
seized  the  flag  and  bore  it  some  distance.  Mean- 
while the  enemy's  artillery  began  to  shell  us.  It 
was  now  evident  that  our  retreat  was  cut  off  and 
to  prevent  the  capture  of  the  flag,  I  tore  it  from 
the  staff  and  thrust  it  ii-i  my  bosom. 

Early  says  he  rode  across  the  river  and  tried 
to  stop  us  at  the  bridge;  I  saw  nothing  of  him 
there.  When  we  reached  the  east  bank,  we 
were  broken  up  into  little  groups  and  all  thought 
of  resistance  seemed  to  have  been  abandoned. 
The  enemy  were  between  us  and  the  mountain — 
our  men  were  preparing  to  surrender.  I  proposed 
to  the  group  who  were  with   me — among   whom

was  Captain  Thornton,  the  Commanding  officer  of 
the  36th,  that  we  should  endeavor  to  cut  our  way 
through  to  the  mountain,  as  the  enemy  appenr- 
ed  much  scattered.  All  opposed  this,  especially 
the  Captain.  I  then  proposed  that  we  should  g) 
down  the  river  and  endeavor  to  secrete  ourselves 
among  the  rocks  until  dark,  which  was  fast  ap- 
proaching. This  likewise  was  negatived,  and  a 
squad  of  cavalrymen  then  approaching,  we  sur- 
rendered to  them.

Referring  to  the  unfavorable  site  of  Baltimore, 
Xilcs'  Pwgktei-,  1827,  speaks  of  "the  deep  forest, 
the  precipitous  hills  and  the  unwholeson;e 
marshes,  in  which  commerce  tempted  our  fere- 
fathers  to  plant  themselves." 
•'  Professor  Davidge,  although  a  good  anatomist 
had  a  very  inflated  style.  He  called  the  tem- 
poral bone,  "the  bone  of  Time"  and  spoke  of  its 
"external  mandibulatory  process."  ■ 

"The  gentlemen  of  the  upper  end  of  the  city 
and  particularly  those  who  keep  public  houses 
and  livery  stables  are  respectfully  informed  that 
the  riding  of  horses  down  Market  Street  to  water 
at  Harrison  St.,  has  become  a  cause  of  annoy- 
ance if  not  nuisance  to  their  fellow  citizens  of 
the  lower  end  of  the  Town,  and  they  are  earn- 
estly invited  to  direct  their  hostlers  and  servants

tering place."     Fed.  Gaz.,  June  2,  1803. 


Professor  Granville  Sliarpe  Patikon,  according  to 
Professor  S.  D.  Gross,  was  a^Small  elderly  gen- 
tleman, of  medium  stature,  with  black  ej  es  and 
white  hair.  The  intere-it  in  him  was  largely  due 
to  his  lisp,  his  string  Scotch  accent  and  his  en- 
thusiasm. He  w.is  no  histoloTi-st  or  sirg^on  and 
was  indolent.  The  late  Dc.  Hez^lciih  Starr  sai  I 
that  in  hisearlier  years  he  was  v^ry  wild,  drink- 
ing a  good  deal,  being  a  great  sportsman  an  1 
fond  of  gunning,  etc.  In  lecturing  on  tlie  oc- 
cipito-frontalis  muscle,  he  used  to  s.ay  to  his  stu-

is  to  iioot  the  eebroog."

Professor  R.  Dorsey  Coale  attended  a  meeting 
of  the  Ways  and  Means  Committee  of  the  House 
of  Representatives  at  Washington,  Mar.  14,  at 
a  hearing  regarding  the  tax  of  hospitals  for 
straight  alcohol.  The  other  hospitals  of  Balti- 
more were  represented  and  Col.  C.  Baker  Clot- 
worthy,  '89,  represented  them  as  attorney.  Con- 
gressman J.  C.  Linthicum,  '90,  introduced  a 
bill  to  remit  this  tax  which,  for  the  Baltimore 
Hospitals   alone,    amounts    to  $30,000—40,000. 


There  is  no  opposition  to  the  bill,  which  is  ex- 
pected therefore  surely  to  pass.

The  Seventh  Annnnl  Meeting  and  Banquet  of  the 
Pennsylvfinia  Branch  of  the  General  Alumni  Asm- 
i-iiilioii,  held  at  the  Continental  Hotel,  Phila.,  on 
March,  13,  was  a  success  and  all  present  had  a 
good  time  with  abundance  to  eat  and  plenty 
to  smoke.  An  attempt  to  get  speak(  rs  from 
Baltimore  and  Washington  failed.  But  hearty 
greetings  were  read  from  the  President  of  the  Gen- 
eral Alamni  Association,  the  Washington  Branch 
and  from  the  Editor  of  Old  Maryland.  The

night's  journey  by  rail  from  Salt  Lake  City. 
The  tour  of  the  Park  by  stage  occupies  five  days. 
The  reservation  is  55x65  miles,  the  greater  part 
being  in  the  N.  W.  Corner  of  Wyoming.  It  is 
in    the    heart   of  the  Rocky   Mountains,  6000  to

8300  feet  high.     As  one  proceeds   on  the  tour  he 
is  struck  with  tlie  enormous  destruction  of  tim- 
ber   at   some    time,    shown  by  the  bleached  and 
sepulchral  trees.     There  are  several  hundred  hot 
springs  and  geysers,  the  former  tiowing  contin- 
uously,   the  latter  emptying  into  caverns  where 
steam  is   generated,  causing  an  eruption   at   in- 
tervals  to    as   great   a   height  as  250  feet  with  a 
thundering   noise.     Among   interesting    springs 
are  tiie  Mammoth  Paint  Pots,  where  the   mud  is 
in  a  constant  state  of  noisy  eb\illibion,  the  Tur- 
quoise   Spring,     so    c.iUe  1    from  its  blue  color, 
the  Pris  11  itic  Lake,  with  a  variety  of  hues,   the 
M>rning  Glory  Spring,    reseml)ling   that  flower 
an  1    the    H  m  llierchief    Pool,    which    returns  a 
handkerchief  thro.vn  into  it  to  tlie  owner  laun- 
dered.    On    the   summit   of  tlie  Continental  Di- 
vide is  a  small  lake,  the  waters  of  which  How  in 
two    directions,    into    tlie    Atlantic  and  Pacific 
Oceans,  respectively.     Yellowstone   Lake,  15x2.5 
miles,  is  the  largest  body  of  water  at  its  altitude, 
with    one    exception,    in    the    world.     One    can 
travel  the  length  of  this  lake  by  electric   launch 
if  he  prefers,   and   it   is  preferable  to  the  stage. 
One  of  the  interesting  sights  at   I^ake   Hotel,   at 
the  foot   of  the   lake,    is  feeding  of  bears  on  the 
refuse   from    the    hotel.     On    the    3rd  day,  one 
reaches  the  Grand  Canyon,  a  great  cleft  10  miles 
long,  1200  feet  deep  and  about  a  mile  in    width. 
Its    prevailing   color    is    bright  yellow  hence  the 
name  of  park  and  river.     Here  the   river  makes 
two  falls  of  112  ami  360  feet  respectively.  Every- 
thing in  the  Park  is  under  Government  control, 
hence  charges  for   hotels,  conveyances,  etc.,  are 
uniform    and   imposition    is  almost  impossible. 
On  the  4th  day  he  passed   the    twin    lakes,    one 
blue,   one   green;   Beaver  Lake,  made  by  beavers 
damming  a  stream  and  with  a  colony  of  beavers 
living   on    its    bank;    Obsidian     Cliff,    a    black 
mountain  of  volcanic  glass   250   feet   high    and 
1000  feet  long,  and  Electric  Peak,  11,000  feet  in 
height.     Mammoth  Hot  Springs  consisits  of  re- 
markable   terraces   and    pools,    from   wliich  hot 
lime    water    is    continually    running,    forming 
chalky  mounds.     Fort   Yellowstone  is  the  mili- 
tary   headquarters    of  the    Park,    where    several 
troops    of  cavalry    are    stationed    to    protect  the

In  the  deatli  of  Di\  John  Gir/  Hollyiaii,  '68,  at 
B.ilto.,  on  March  1-5,  the  writer  lost  a  dear  class- 
mite  and  life-louT  frieu'l.  We  were  intimately 
associated  in  class  an  1  dissecting  room.  We  held 
the  tw)  hi^h-^s"  o!fi  ;es  in  the  Rash  Ciub,  of 
wlileh  he  w.i^  President. 

Hi  w.is  a  m'^le  spsjinivi  of  y)afchFal  vig  ir, 
and  with  his  curly  locks,  his  liroid  shouUlers 
and  stalwart  frame  recalled  the  statues  of  Her- 
cules; indeed  hail  he  lived  in  the  days  of  Peri- 
cles, he  would  have  carried  off  many  a  palm  in 
the  arena. 

His  character  correspomled  with  his  splendid 
pliysiqne;  he  was  moilest,  sincere,  conscientious, 
unassuming.  Social  by  nature,  he  loved  the 
society  of  his  friends  and  he  was  ever  loyal  1 1 
them.  He  ha  1  a  great  fund  of  anecdotes  ever 
ready.  He  was  fond  of  games,  of  baseball,  of 
gunning  and  of  horses.  At  one  time  he  took  an 
interest  in  boxing  and  took  lessons  in  it  from  a 
well-kLiown  prize-fighter,  bat  he  was  much  dis- 
gusted with  a  fight  which  he  attended  and  with 
the  crowd  which  he  met  there. 

For  some  years  he  hal  been  in  pnr  health, 
suffering  first  from  enlargeil  veins  of  the  lou'er 
limbs,  so  common  in  robust  people,  later  from 
disease  of  the  heart  and  liver.  His  last  illness 
began  with  a  st-vere  c'aill,  followed  l>y  great  con- 
gestion of  the  lungs  and  vomiting  of  much  blood. 
Pneumonia  followed,  terminating  fatally  in  fi\-e 
days. 

Dr.  Hollytlay  was  born  in  llagerstown  on  May 
10,  1S45;  he  came  of  a  wellknowii  family  origi- 
nally from  the  Eastern  Shore.  He  served  in  the 
C.  S.  A.,  being  a  member  of  the  1st  Md.  Cavalry. 
He  was  an  excellent  family  physician,  conserva- 
tive, full  of  resource  and  as  gentle  as  a  woman, 
and  was  deeply  beloved  by  his  patients,  wiio 
flocked  in  great  crowds  to  see  his  remains  and 
to  attend  his  funeral.  He  is  survived  liy  a  widow, 
a  son  and  two  davghters.

from  remote  Japan. 

There  h;ive  Iteea  three  students  in  the  Dental 
Department  from  J.i|ian.  Tiie  first  was  Tameji 
Takashima,  who  graduated  in  1899.  He  was  an 
athlete  and  at'racted  attention  Ijy  his  skill  and 
grace  at  the  skating  Rink.  The  Museum  con- 
tains inter..'stinT  specimens  of  liis  handiwork,  es- 
pecially a  p!a-ter  cast  oi  tlie  base  of  the  skull 
and  a  beautifully  mounted  set  of  teeth.  The 
next  was  Sadauoshi  Teraki,  of  the  class  of  1907, 
who  distinguished  himself  by  his  skill  as  a 
draughtsman,  some  of  his  contributions  appear- 
ing in  Terra  Miri-e.  And  now  we  have  in  the 
Freshman  Class  S.  Okugawa,  who  has  been  re- 
siding for  some  years  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  He 
is  highly  voucheil  for  by  liis  preceptor,  0.  Sipes, 
L.  D.  S.,  D.  D.  S.,  of  Seattle,  Washington,  who 
gives  him  prai-e  for  his  skilful  prosthetic  work. 
Mr.  Okugawa  will  probably  return  to  his  native 
country  where  lie  has  already  had  an  oll'er  of  a 
position  at  Nippon  University.  It  does  gi'eat 
credit  to  these  young  .Japanese  that  they  are  able 
to  accomplish  so  much,  for  the  difficulties  of  our 
language  must  he  enormous.  It  is  said  that 
there  is  but  one  English  word  found  in  their 
language,    and    that    has  a  ditferent  meaning  in 

the  two  languages.

The  letter  of  Dr.  Frederick  L.  Blair,  of  Provi- 
dence, R.  I.,  published  elsewhere,  relates  to  a 
subject  which  has  always  been  vei-y  dear  to  my 
heart,  i.  e.,  the  founding  of  branch  alumni  as- 
sociations throughout  the  country.  It  will  give 
me  pleasure  to  send  Dr.  B.  a  list  for  New  Eng- 
land and  to  co-operate  with  him  in  his  very 
commendable  effort.  I  have  again  an<l  again 
urged  the  founding  of  branches,  especially  in 
New  York,  West  \'irginia,  Virginia,  North  and 
South  Carolina  and  New  England,  where  there 
are  many  alumni  collected  within  reach  of  each 
other. 

It  is  a  very  simple  matter,  founding  a  branch; 
any  five  alumni  can  apply  for  the  authority  for 
any  state  or  section  of  the  country.     Send  appli-

CORRESPONDENCE. 

Providence,  R.  I.,  March  5,  1912. 
My  dear  Professor, 

While  in  Baltimore  as  a  student  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland,  I  had  many  pleasant  chats 
with  you  about  the  history,  etc.,  of  the  old  Uni- 
vei'sity.  I  would  be  please  1  if  you  could  find  lime 
to  furnish  me  with  as  many  f>f  the  names  and  ad- 
dresses that  you  might  be  able  to  get  of  graduates 
in  New  England,  that  I  luight  get  in  touch  with, 
toward  the  formation  of  a  New  England  alumni 
association.  I  already  know  of  a  number  of  alum- 
ni and  would  be  pleased  to  get  in  touch  Avith  all  I 
can.  I  would  be  pleased  to  have  you  write  me 
your  views  on  such  an  undertaking.  With  kind 
regards  I  am 

Yours  fraternally, 

Fredeiuck  L.   Bl.'Vir,  'U. 

Baltimore,  Md.,  March  3rd,  1912. 
Dear  Doctor : 

I  am  in  receipt  of  a  communication  from  the 
Chairman  of  the  Paving  Connuission,  informing 
me  that  the  Commission  has  conclude<l  to  im- 
prove the  streets  surrounding  the  buildings  of  the 
University,  as  well  as  those  surrounding  the  Hos- 
pital. This  result  has  been  made  possible  only 
by  considerable  concessions  on  the  part  of  the 
Sewerage  Commission,  and  by  a  number  of 
changes  in  the  plans  affecting  the  streets  to  be 
improved,  and  is  thus  to  be  attributed  to  an  un- 
usual amount  of  consideration  on  the  part  of 
both  Commissions.  Rarely  indeed  is  success  at- 
tained in  a  movement  of  this  kind  in  the  face  of 
so  many  serious  obstacles,  and  without  any  pres- 
sure or  influence  being  brought  to  bear,  and  I 
think  it  proper,  therefore,  to  ask  the  Regents  to 
formally  express  their  gratitude  to  the  members 
of  the  two  Commissions.     Do  you  not  ?

I  leave  the  City  to-day,  and  do  not  expect  to 
be  able  to  return  before  Saturday,  but  upon  my 
return  I  expect  to  inquire  into  the  feasibility  of 
inducing  the  United  Railways  Co.  to  remove  their 
tracks  from  Lombard  Street  when  the  pavhig 
operations  are  commenced.  There  are,  of  course, 
many  serious  difiiculties  in  the  way,  but  an  at- 
tempt might  prove  worth  while.  I  broached  the 
matter  to  the  General  Counsel  of  the  Company, 
Mr.  France,  some  time  ago,  and  at  that  time  he 
did  not  regard  the  matter  as  at  all  unreasonalile, 
thougli  he  did  not  commit  himself. 

Perhaps  I  ought  to  take  this  matter  up  with 
the  Regents,  l)efore  taking  any  action,  though 
the  fact  that  my  activities  are  entirely  unolH- 
cial,  and  at  my  own  expense,  lead  me  to  thiidc 
that  the  delay  incident  to  doing  so  is  unneces- 
sary. Upon  my  return  I  shall  take  the  liberty 
of  consulting  you  in  regard  to  this. 
Sincerely  yours, 

Samuel  Want.

DEPARTMENT  OF  DENTISTRY. 

The  department  is  contemplating  several  im- 
portant change-;- to  ta'ce  place  soon,  among  them 
being  the  installaliou  of  a  chemical  labratory. 
The  instructors  to  tike  charge  have  not  as  yet 
been  appointed  liy  the  faculty;  undoubtedly  they 
will  be  University  graduvtes  already  connected 
with  the  Institution.  The  department,  which  is 
housel  in  G)rgi=;  Hall,  being  very  much  cramp- 
ed for  room,  it  is  possible  aa  addition  may  be 
made  to  the  buililing  to  accommodate  this  labor- 
atory. 

Dr.  .John  S.  Geiser,  win  represented  the  Uni- 
versity at  the  recfiut  meeting  of  the  American 
Institute  of  Dental  Pedagogic-;,  reporte  I,  on  his 
return,  several  interesting  things  connectel  with 
this  meeting,  in  mitters  relating  to  the  teaching 
of  dental  science,  among  them  being  a  correct 
te.iching  of  the  outcome  of  investigation  in  den- 
tal pathology.  This  field  is  receiving  special  at- 
tention at  the  University  under  Dr.  Wm.  Rea 
and  his  assistant,  who  are  conducing  some  very 
interesting  work  along  these  line^,  the  substance 
and  conclusions  of  which,  will  possibly  be  given 
to  the  profession  in  the  near  future.  This  brings 
us  to  a  very  important  subject  of  interest  to  the 
alumni  of  the  Universiiy,  viz:  just  what  the  den- 
tal department  is  doing  in  this  field.  Well,  we 
can  safely  say  that  the  teaching  of  this  and 
kindred  subjects  is  handled  in  a  conservative, 
and  yet  most  mo  lern  and  scientific  way. 

A  great  many  of  the  instructors  will  attend 
various  dental  meetings  during  the  summer  sea- 
son, in  order  to  meet  some  of  our  older  grad- 
uates, and  arou?e  in  them  a  feeling  of  interest 
for  their  Alma  Mater  and  present  the  University 
to  these  gentlemen  in  its  true  light.  That  is,  to 
let  it  be  seen  that  where  the  opportunity  arises, 
the  dental  department  is  maintaining  a  higher 
standing  than  ever  before  and  attempting  to  in- 
troduce into  the  ranks  of  the  profession  grad- 
uates who  are  worthy  of  themselves  and  the 
school. 

The  Psi  Omega  fraternity  held  a  very  inter- 
esting banquet  on  March  1st,  at  the  Hotel  Em- 
erson.    After  an  excellent  repast,  in  which  the 


best  viands  of  this  Hotel  were  indulged  in.  Mr. 
D.  T.  B.  Houston,  the  to.astmaster,  called  upon 
Dr.  Rea,  who  in  the  course  of  his  remarks  made 
excellent  allusions  to  things  of  current  interest. 
Other  speakers  of  tiie  evening,  whose  responses 
to  toasts  were  thoroughly  enjoyed,  were  Drs. 
Baskin,  Matthews,  Patterson,  Bruce  and  Water-^. 
The  banquet  was  a  celebration  of  the  twentieth 
anniversary  of  the  fraternity.  So  all  connected 
with  the  University  wish  the  Society  and  the 
boys  success  and  many  other  happy  anniversaries. 
The  department  offers  its  sincerest  sympathy 
to  Mr.  Walter   C.    Ctarke,    whose    father   pas-ed 

out  of  this  life  some  days  since.

The  footliall  schedule  for  1912  has  been  ap-

Tlie  students  spent  a  very  enjoyable  evening  at 
a  dance  given  ou  Feb.  27tli  at  Tattle's  Hall. 
The  nienibers  of  the  Faculty  were  present  with 
their  wives  and  participited  heartily  in  the  even- 
ing's enjoyment,  notwith.-tanding  the  fact  that 
our  best  dancer.  Dr.  IlynsDU,  was  not  there.  The 
dancing  began  about  9  o'clock  and  all  seemed  to 
join  in  to  their  heart's  content.  The  miisic  was 
fascinating  and  up  to-date.  Now  and  then  dur- 
ing the  dance  tlie  lights  were  made  to  llicker  as 
when  playing  under  the  "Silvery  Moon,"  etc., 
which  made  a  very  pretty  and  novel  effect.  The 
majority  did  not  leave  until  the  last  strains  of 
music  had  ceased. 

All  the  .Junior.s  are  very  busy  in  the  chemical 
and  pharinaceuiioul  laboratories.  Worl?  is  com- 
ing so  tiiicl'L  and  fast  tliat  we  hardly  know  where 
to  start  lirst. 

Dr.  Plitt  took  several  students  on  his  Saturday 
liotany  tramp  from  Woodhiwo  to  the  Liberty 
Road  and  around  Gwynn's  b'alls.  lie  is  taking 
up  the  lichens  and  m  my  good,  specimens  were 
found.  [Thanks  are  due  to  Miss  Sonnenburg,

notes] . 


ATHLETICS. 

Tlie  Bdxkd  BnU  season  is  closed  and  consider- 
ingthe  difficulties  encountered,  the  showing  made 
by  the  team  was  fair.  Because  of  the  inabilily 
to  get  out  the  men  it  was  impos-iihle  to  play  the 
same  five  all  during  the  season,  numerous 
changes  being  necessary  in  order  to  contintie 
playing  the  full  schedule.  This  had  more  to  do 
with  the  defe.its  than  lack  (if  good  material. 
Some  of  the  games  ha  1  to  he  cancelled  because 
of  injuries  to  some  of  the  men.  Captain  Delaney, 
Dutch  Kuhl  and  IManager  Rome  were  named  for

Cyclopedia  of  American  Medical  Biography: 
Comprising  the  Lives  of  Eminent  Deceased  Physi- 
cians and  Sargeons  from  1610  to  1910.  By  How- 
ard A.  Kelly,  M.  D.  2  vols.  Phila.  and  London, 
W.  B.  Saunders,  1912.  This  long  anticipated 
book,  which  has  engaged  the  attention  of  Dr. 
Kelly  and  numerous  colaborers  in  all  parts  of  the 
country  for  the  last  five  years,  is  at  last  become  ac- 
cessible to  the  world.  Twelve  hundred  deceased 
"medical  worthies"  of  the  United  States  and 
Canada  have  been  gathered  within  its  969  pages. 

That  there  was  need  of  such  a  work  is  well 
known  to  all  who  have  had  occasion  to  consult 
the  available  authorities  on  the  subject.  So  that 
Dr.  Kelly  has  given  us  a  book  of  the  greatest  his- 
toric value  and  which  in  its  scope  and  thorough- 
ness is  probably  unequaled  in  all  literature.  It 
is  therefore  not  only  a  distinct  gain  to  the  pro- 
fession of  this  country  but  is  undoubtedly  the  most 
important  contribution  yet  made  to  American 
medical  history. 

After  a  list  of  books  consulted  and  authors, 
there  is  a  sketch  of  the  various  specialties.  In 
that  on  Anatomy,  we  are  surprised  to  see  no  men- 
tion of  the  anatomical  school  of  the  Wiesenthals, 
in  this  city,  which  was  one  of  the  earliest  in  the 
country;  nor  of  the  anatomical  teaching  at  the 
University  of  Maryland  by  Cocke,  Davidge,  God- 
man,  Pattison,  Geddings,  Roby,  etc.,  and  the  fact 
that  the  University  of  Maryland  was  the  first 
school  in  the  country  to  make  dissection  compul- 
sory. 

In  the  sketch  of  surgery  there  were  others  here 
deserving  mention  besides  Davidge,  Gibson,  Jam- 
eson and  Halsted:  Nathan  R.  Smith  and  Chris- 
topher Johnston,  for  instance. 

We  are  glad  to  see  the  work  of  Charles  P. 
Noble,  '84,  so  well  spoken  of,  p.  XLV — "The 
history  of  fibroid  tumors,  judicially  and  well 
written  by  Charles  P.  Noble,  of  Piiila.,  forms 
one  of  that  noted  surgeon's  most  valuable  contri- 
butions to  medical  literature." 


In  the  section  on  Ophthalmology,  while  George 
Frick's  work  here  is  duly  chronicled,  we  find  no 
mention  of  Christopher  Johnston's  introduction 
of  the  ophthalmoscope  into  America  (see  Jl.  A. 
M.  A.  and  Old  Maryland,  1911). 

On  p.  LXV,  we  are  told  that  Dr.  Clinton  "Wag- 
ner, '59,  organized  in  New  York  "the  first  society 
devoted  exclusively  to  laryngology  and  rhinology 
either  in  this  country  or  in  Europe." 

The  work  of  Dr.  William  C.  Jarvis,  '76, 
in  the  discovery  of  the  part  played  in  nasal  ob- 
struction by  enlargement  of  turbinated  bodies, 
Jarvis'  Snare  and  use  of  chromic  acid  as  a  cau- 
terant  is  lauded  in  the  section  on  laryngology. 
Professor  Frank  Donaldson  is  also  mentioned. 

At  p.  LXXXI,  we  have  a  laudatory  exposition 
of  Irving  C.  Rosse's  ('6G)  writings  in  Medical 
Jurisprudence. 

The  biographical  sketches  are  well  written  and 
evidently  reliable  as  to  dates  and  facts,  which  is 
a  great  thing  and  not  always  found  in  such  writ- 
ings. Great  care  has  been  exercised  to  get  at  the 
truth,  but  in  some  cases  carelessness  in  the  revis- 
ion and  attempt  at  conciseness  has  marred  the 
authors'  work.  Doubtless  many  persons  of  very 
meJiocre  ability  and  acomplishment  have  been 
admitted  to  these  pages,  and  there  have  been 
important  omissions.  We  can  speak  feelingly  of 
Maryland  and  have  gi  ven  our  views  very  frankly  on 
the  subject  to  Dr.  Kelly.  Maryland  is  one  of  the 
oldest  states,  one  of  the  original  thirteen.  There 
have  been  many  eminent  physicians  here  who 
have  stood  at  the  head  of  the  profession  and  it  is 
not  fair  to  leave  them  out  in  order  to  provide  for 
places  for  comparative  nonentities  in  other  parts 
of  the  country.  Among  distinguished  Maryland 
physicians  who  should,  in  our  opinion,  have  re- 
ceived notice  in  these  pages  are  the  following: 
James  Anderson  (Montgomery),  James  Moat 
Anderson,  Samuel  Annan.  Abram  B.  Arnold, 
SMmuel  Baker,  Th  )mas  E.  Bond,  Sr.  and  Jr.,

There  are  many  reasons  why  University  of 
Maryland  men  should  be  proud  of  their  Alma  Mater. 
In  the  first  place,  it  is  no  small  honor  to  be  "uni- 
versity" men — it  is  not  every  graduate  who  can 
say  it.  We  have  only  learned  to  appreciate  it  our- 
selves, to  enter  into  our  true  birthright,  within 
the  last  few  years.  Before  that,  we  were  mere 
"lawyers"  or  "doctors"  or  "dentists";  now  we 
can  stand  up  by  the  side  of  the  Harvard,  the 
Princeton,  the  Hopkins  man  and  claim  his  recog- 
nition in  the  broadest  sense. 

Again  our  Univerity  has  a  peculiar  standing 
by  reason  of  its  age.  It  is  venerable  in  years. 
It  dates  from  a  period  when  there  were  but  few 
institutions  of  university  rank  iri  the  country; 
it  was  one  of  the  very  first. 

Nor  is  its  age  its  only  characteristic.  It  has  a 
further  distinction  by  reason  of  its  high  stand- 
ards, its  ideals,  its  aspirations,  its  services  to  the 
community  and  the  country.  Wherever  we 
have  fallen  short  in  any  of  these  respects,  it  is 
due  to  the  limitations  imposed  upon  us  by  the 
lack  of  resourses — of  endowment. 

Not  the  least  of  the  honors  which  a  connection 
with  it  confers  upon  us  is  that  of  having  our  names 
enrolled  among  those  eminent  men  who  have 
held  its  diploma.  I  conceive  that  it  will  add  no 
little  to  our  sense  of  selfrespect  and  satisfaction, 
when  we  find  our  names  alongside  those  of  Fran- 
cis Scott  Key,  the  author  of  the  Star  Spangled 
Banner,  of  Godman,  the  anatomist  and  natural- 
ist, of  Carroll,  the  hero  of  the  Yellow  Fever  Com- 
mission, of  Councilman,  the  great  pathologist, 
of  Judge  Stockbridge,  Dr.  Caspari  and  hosts  of 
others  who  would  do  honor  to  any  institution. 

Did  you  ever  think,  fellow  alumni,  how  much 
cause  for  self  congratulation  we  have  in  all  this?

At  a  meeting  of  alumni  of  Western  Maryland 
College  held  in  New  York,  Prof.  McDaniel  said 
the  alumni  were  in  need  of  some  organ  which 
would  keep  the  alumni  and  the  college  in  closer  touch 
(Sun,  March  23).  That  is  exactly  what  Old 
Maryland  attempts  to  do  in  this  University.     It 


OLD  MARYLAND.

tells  the  alumni  what  is  going  on  at  the  Univer- 
sity and  it  gives  the  authorities  of  the  University 
information  regarding  the  activities  of  the  alumni 
While  this  close  relationship  is  mutually  import- 
ant, it  is  especially  so  to  the  college.  A  college's 
best  friends  are  its  alumni;  it  must  look  to  these 
for  advice,  for  encouragement,  for  more  subtan- 
tial  aid.  In  cementing  the  relations  of  the  two 
therefore,  this  journal  has  been  rendering  a 
great  service  to  this  institution,  one  which  we  be- 
lieve has  not  received  the  recognition  that  it  de- 
served .  From  time  to  time  statements  come  from 
our  alumni,  that  they  are  not  kept  informed  of 
what  is  going  on  here— for  instance,  that  they 
did  not  know  of  the  endowment  fund  or  of  the 
needs  of  the  University.  If  they  were  readers  of 
Old  M.\eyland  they  would  not  have  to  make  any 
such  complaint  or  coafession  as  that.  Every 
alumnus  therefore,  should  become  a  subscriber  to 
Old  M.\ryland.  It  is  the  only  university  paper 
we  have  ever  had,  the  only  one  that  tells  an  alum- 
nus what  is  going  on  in  all  the  departments,  so  that 
whether  he  be  a  doctor,  or  lawyer,  or  dentist,  or 
pharmacist  or  academic  graduate,  he  finds  in  it 
all  the  information  he  can  possibly  need,  both 
as  to  the   parts    and  the    whole.     And  he  finds  if 

nowhere  else.

ALUMNI  ADVISORY  COUNCIL 

The  following  reports  were  made  and  adopted 
at  a  meeting  held  on  March  22,  and  represent  the 
results  of  investigation  made  into  the  preser-t 
condition  and  needs  of  the  University: 

To  the  University  of  Maryland  Alumni  Advis- 
ory Council : 

Gentlemen  : — We  beg  to  submit  for  your  con- 
sideration the  following  suggestions  to  be  offered 
the  Faculty  of  Physic. 

(1)  That  it  is  the  sense  of  this  body  that 
every  effort  be  made  and  no  sacrifice  be  consid- 
ered too  great  to  comply  with  the  recent  require- 
ments of  the  American  Association  of  Medical 
Schools,  calling  for  the  estaljlishment  of  four  full 
time  professorships. 

(2)  That  the  inauguration  of  Physical  Ther- 
apeutics as  a  separate  lectureship  is  a  timely  in- 
novation in  the  line  of  pi-ogress. 

Menu,  Banquet  and  Dance  Cards,  Commencemeut  Invitations 
and  Programs,  Diplomas,  Certificates,  Engrossinq-  U.  of  M. 
Stationery  for  Classes  and  Fraternities.  Letter  Heads,  Envelopes* 
Cards,  etc.,  for  Physicians,  Lawyers  and  Dentists,  '  ' 

JAS.  H.  DOWNS,  STATI0NER,229  N.  Charles  St 


(3)  That  the  effort  to  establish  an  endow- 
ment fund  tor  the  chair  of  Pathology,  inaugurat- 
ed by  Prof.  Randolph  Winslow  is  worthy  of 
highest  commendation  and  merits  earnest  sup- 
port. 

(4)  That  in  our  opinion,  no  student  should 
be  admitted  to  the  third  year  until  all  previous 
conditions  shall  have  been  met.  We  believe  the 
percentage  of  failures  at  the  State  Board  Ex- 
aminations will  thereby  be  materially  reduced. 

Respectfully  submitted,

Baltimore,  Md.,  March  22nd,  1912. 

The  Committee  appointed  by  the  President  of 
the  Alumni  Advisory  Council,  to  investigate  the 
condition  of  the  Dental  Department,  desires  to 
report  as  fc)llows; 

This  department  has  in  attendance  on  its  three 
year  course  of  lectures  one  hundred  and  seventy- 
three  students  from  seventeen  States  of  the  Union 
and  Porto  Rico,  and  from  Canada,  Mexico, 
Dutch  Guiana,  Cuba,  Bermuda,  Dominican  Re- 
pul)lic,  Japan  and  Australia. 

There  are  seventeen  dift'erent  branches  taught. 
There  are  twenty-five  professors  and  instructors, 
an  average  of  one  instructor  to  about  seven 
students. 

The  different  branches  seem  to  be  well  taught 
and  on  the  whole  this  Department  will  compare 
very  favorably  with  any  Dental  School  in  the 
country. 

One  of  the  needs  of  the  Department  is  that  of 
a  Chemical  Laboratory  Course,  which  is  to  be  in- 
troduced at  the  next  session. 

(1)  A  need  of  more  Demonstrators  both  in  In- 
firmary and  Dental  Labororatory. 

(2)  Under  the  head  of  Sanitation:  The  wood 
lloor  of  the  Infirmary  is  hard  to  be  kept  in  a  san- 
itary condition.  If  a  concrete  or  other  hard  ma- 
terial was  placed  over  the  present  floor,  water 
could  be  used  in  such  an  amount  daily,  that  the 
floor  could  be  made  more  sanitary. 

(3)  The  old  style  cuspidors  should  be  replac- 
ed by  modern  ones  with  running  water. 

(4)  There  sliould  be  a  hot  water  heater  in- 
troducoil  to  provide  hot  water  in  abundance  so 
tliat  the  students,  operating  in  the  Infirmary, 
could  kei'p  their  hands  in  l)etter  condition  in 
cold  weather.

(5)  We  strongly  recommend  the  abolishment 
of  the  roller  towel  and  substituting  individual 
towels  for  the  use  of  students,  especially  in  the 
Infirmary.

In  connection  with   the  above  we   publish  the 
following  letters  from    Judge    Dawkins   and  Dr. 
Hancock : 

Supreme  Bench  of  Baltimore  City, 

April  2,  1912. 
My  dear  Doctor: 

I  have  your  card.  I  am  sorry  you  were  not 
present  at  the  meeting  of  the  Council  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland,  on  the  22d  ult.  I  presumed 
that  Mr.  Skeen  had  made  note  of  everything  that 
could  be  furnished  for  publication.  I  did  not 
know  of  anything  particular  that  I  could  suggest 
in  my  report  in  regard  to  St.  John's  College, 
more  than  what  I  stated  at  the  meeting. 

I  then  stated  I  thought  that  it  was  advisable 
to  continue  the  alliance  between  the  University 
and  the  College  for  another  period  similar  in  de- 
tail to  the  alliance  now  existing,  and  that  this 
action  was  approved  at  the  last  meeting  of  the 
Alumni.  That  we  had  had  a  most  successful 
meeting  of  the  Alumni  in  Baltimore,  during 
the  winter,  and  that  we  had  decided  to  make 
some  public  commemoration  of  the  Twenty- 
fifth  Anniversary  of  Dr.  Thomas  Fell's  Preji- 
dency,  which  occurs  this  year.  That  all  the  De- 
partments of  the  College  seem  to  be  in  good 
working  order.  That  it  was  advisable  to  help 
on  the  endowment  of  the  College  to  as  great  an 
extent  as  possible,  in  order  to  enable  it  to  con- 
tinue its  work. 


I  further  stated  that  there  was  some  discussion 
of  the  military  feature,  but  that  the  Committee 
did  not  feel  at  this  time  that  they  should  make 
any  special  recommendation  in  regard  to  that, 
some  of  the  members  of  the  Committee  thinking 
it  advisable  to  continue  the  present  arrange- 
ment by  having  an  army  officer  detailed  to  in- 
struct in  that  department,  whilst  others  thought 
that  the  college  should  be  distinctively  a  high 
grade  college  of  its  class  devoted  to  classical 
work. 

This  briefly  is  about  what  I  stated.     You  can 
edit    this  in   anyway  it  seems   proper.     Hoping 
that  this  will  furnish  you    all  the  information 
desired,  I  am  with  kindest  regards, 
Very  sincerely, 

Walter  I.  Dawkins. 

Baltimore,  April  10,  1912. 
Dear  Doctor: 

I  have  your  postal  requesting  to  know  what 
the  Report  of  the  Committee  on  the  Department 
of  Pharmacy  was,  which  I  as  chairman,  made 
at  the  meeting  of  the  General  Council  of  the 
U.  of  Md.  My  report  was  verbal  because  the 
dean,  Dr.  Caspari,  could  not  deem  it  advisable 
under  existing  circumstances,  to  ask  for  anything. 

There  are  needs  for  improvement  in  the  depart- 
ment of  pharmacy  but  at  present  the  demand  or 
request  would  not  be  advisable. 

When  the  University  becomes  better  organized, 
no  doubt  the  dean  will  make  some  requests.  At 
present  the  work  in  the  Pharmacy  School  is 
making  progress. 

Yours  very  truly, 

J.  F.  Hancock,  Chairman.

"To  maintain  a  good  working  medical  lihrdri/ 
will  require  an  annual  appropriation  of  at  least 
SIOOO."  Dr.  C.  M.  Jackson,  Uiwersitu  of  Mis- 
souri. 

Dr.  Jackson's  estimate  is  a  most  modest  one. 
It  takes  money  to  run  any  sort  of  library  prop- 
crhj.  With  the  demands  for  salary,  binding, 
purchase  of  books  and  journals,  service,  etc., 
the  expenses  soon  mount  up.  But  that  much 
can  be  done  on  far  less  than  the  minimum  Dr. 
Jackson  tiiinks  necessary,  is  illustrated  right 
here  before  our  eyes.  We  don't  for  a  moment 
claim  that  our  work  in  this  line  is  satisfactory  or 
perfect,  but  what  we  have  accomplished  is  highly 
creditable,  to  say  the  least.  And  the  wonder  is, 
not  that  we  have  not  done  more,  but  that  we 
have  been  able  to  do  so  much  with  our  slender 
resources.  The  noble  collection  we  have  gath- 
ered together,  speaks  for  itself,  and  should  ap- 
peal irresistibly  to  all  who  have  the  interest, 
the  sensibility  and  the  means  to  help  it.

Baseball:     The  team  has  gotten  in  good   shape 
and  has,  so  far,  been  very  successful. 

Mar.  20:  We  were  defeated  by  the  Navy,  5  to 
3  (at  Annapolis).  Mar.  27:  The  team  shut 
out  Washington  College,  3  to  0  (atChestertown). 
Mar.  30:  Western  Maryland  College  was  de- 
feated, at  Westminster,  score  8  to  -I .  The  Mount 
St.  Mary's  game  was  cancelled  on  account  of 
wet  grounds.  April  6:  We  defeated  Dickinson 
College  at  Carlisle,  Pa.,  score,  5  to  2. 
Line  up  was: 

Catcher,  Whitworth  (Dental) 
Pitcher,  Woods  (Dental) 
1st  B.,  Ruhl   (Law) 
2nd  B.,  Jenkins  (Medical)

3rd  B.,  Butler  (Law) 
R.  F.,  Morton  (Medical) 
0.  F.,  Smith  (Law) 
L.  F.,  Nitch  (Medical). 
The  team  was  treated  royally  by    the    Dickinson 
men.     The  umpiring  was  the  best  of  the  season. 
Dr.  Willse  has  worked  hard  and  the  showing  of 
the  team  has  done  him  credit. 

The  team  played  a  practice  game  with  the 
Orioles  (professionals)  April  11,  and  were  beaten

CORRESPONDENCE.

March  30,  1912. 
Dear  Professor  Cordell : 

Many  thanks  for  your  communication  and  for 
your  valuable  article  on  Aretaeus.  I  had  origi- 
nally read  it  in  the  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital  Bul- 
letin, and  you  are  mentioned  in  my  own  article 
on  the  Cappadocian  which  will  appear  in  Path- 
finders of  Medicine. 

I  am  interested  in  your  remark  that  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland  was  the  first  school  to  insti- 
tute a  full  professorship  in  medical  history. 
Would  you  kindly  furnish  me  with  a  brief  syn. 
opsis  of  your  course,  so  I  could  publish  it  in  the 
Report  ?  What  periods  in  the  development  of  his- 
torical medicine  do  you  lay  most  stress  on?  Do  you 
use  a  text-book  in  your  course, and  if  so,  whose? 
Could  you  send  me  some  sample  examination 
papers  ?  Any  other  remarks  which  you  think 
would  be  of  interest  and  value  to  those  who  are 
interested  in  the  History  of  Medicine  would  be 
appreciated.  Also,  will  you  send  me  a  list  of 
your  publications  on  medico-historical  subjects  ? 
Fraternally, 

Victor  Robinson.

About  a  year  ago  we  had  occasion  to  call  at- 
tention to  the  indifference  if  not  hostility  dis- 
played towards  oar  University  by  the  Baltimore 
San.  In  the  Sun  Almanac  of  1911,  for  instance, 
there  was  no  mention  of  it,  where  "another  insti- 
tution of  the  same  class"  had  three  notices.  We 
are  glad  to  note  a  change  in  the  almanac  of  1912. 
On  page  51,  just  under  the  notice  of  the  Johns 
Hopkins  University,  is  one  of  this  University  and 


The  Commencement  will  be  held  at  the  Lyric 
Theater,  on  Saturday,  June  1,  at  4  P.  M.  The 
Address  to  the  Graduating  Classes  will  be  deliv- 
ered by  his  Excellency,  the  Governor  of  Marj"-- 
land,  Hon.  Phillips  Lee  Goldsborough.  It  is 
probable  there  will  be  several  honorary  degrees 
conferred,  but  names  are  not  available  as  yet. 


Governor  Goldsborough  has  seen  fit,  after  a 
solemn  promise  to  approve  it,  to  veto  the  ap- 
propriation of  $1,500  a  year,  made  by  the  Legis- 
lature to  the  Home  for  Widotos  and  Orphans  of 
Physicians.  It  is  a  serious  blow  to  that  charity, 
just  attempting  to  get  a  foothold,  and  its  poign- 
ancy is  intensified  by  the  intimation  that  the 
Governor  was  influenced  in  his  action  by  the  ad- 
vice of  members  of  the  medical  profession  whom 
he  consulted.  It  was  bad  enough  for  him  to  vi- 
olate his  plighted  word,  but  to  think  that  a  doctor 
could  be  found  so  mean  as  to  strike  a  blow  at  the 
widow  and  orphan — his  own  colleagues'  widows 
and  orphans — surpasses  belief.  We  pity  the  man 
who  could  do  such  a  contemptible  deed.  He 
must  be  without  humanity  who  can  look  unaf- 
fected upon  the  sufferings  and  tears  of  the  help- 
less widoio  and  orphan! 

o 

The  papers  have  been  telling  us  lately  of  a  ven- 
erable student  who  wends  his  way  daily  from  the 
Court  House  to  the  University  to  attend  the  lect- 
ures of  the  faculty  of  law.  E[e  is  Mr.  Nathaniel 
T.  Meginniss,  trust  clerk  to  the  Supreme  Bench 
of  Baltimore.  A  native  of  Kent  County,  he  was 
educated  at  Washington  College,  Chestertown. 
In  youth  he  held  office  as  deputy  clerk  of  his 
county,  later  removing  to  Baltimore  where  for 
twelve  years  he  was  secretary  of  the  Consolidated 
Gas  Electric  Light  and  Power  Company.  He 
has  held  liis  present  position  since  Dec.  1907. 
Mr.  M.  is  a  grandfather  and  is  said  to  be  67.  He 
is  an  enthusiastic  follower  of  Coke  and  Black- 
stone  and  expects  to  obtain  his  sheepskin  at  the 
coming  commencement  in  June.  It  is  pleasant 
to  behold  such  evidences  of  retained  vigor  and 
acquisitiveness  in  the  old.  How  much  better  to 
keep  up  the  activities  of  life  as  long  as  one  has 
the  strength  than  to  spend  one's  closing  years  in 
idleness  and  uaelessness.

Whether  professional  students  should  be  re- 
quired to  write  theses  before  graduation  is  a  quest- 
ion upon  which  all  do  not  seem  to  agree.  It  is 
enforced  in  our  department  of  law,  but  not  in 
that  of  medicine.  It  was  formerly  a  rec|uirement 
of  our  medical  graduates  but  was  abandoned  in 
1886.  It  is  said  there  are  now  onlj^  two  medical 
schools  in  the  country  in  which  it  is  compulsory, 
those  of  Yale  and  Bowdoin. 

It  is  of  interest  to  note  that  the  charter  of  the 
University  requires  of  all  its  professional  gradu- 
ates not  only  the  writing  but  also  the  printing  of 
a  thesis  in  Latin  or  English  and  the  public  de- 
fense of  the  same  on  commencement  day  (Art. 
XV).  The  printing  of  the  thesis  was  actually 
enforced  for  several  years  and  the  writer  has  seen 
a  number  of  these  printed  theses  in  the  Surgeon 
General's  Library  in  Washington,  although  we 
have  none  of  them  in  our  owu  library. 

We  are  by  no  means  certain  that  the  writing 
of  a  thesis  is  not  a  good  thing  and  that  it  is  well 
to  neglect  it. 


Another  question  which  may  be  considered 
sub  judice,  is  the  value  of  periodicals  to  students. 
Some  as  Jacobi,  maintain  that  students  had  bet- 
ter not  meddle  with  them  but  stick  to  their  text 
books.  Others,  as  Osier,  claim  a  high  value  for 
them  for  advanced  students.  It  must  be  remem- 
bered that  students  are  not  all  of  one  grade; 
there  are  low  and  there  are  high- grade  students 
and  you  could  not  submit  all  to  the  same  condi- 
tions. What  might  be  impossible  or  unwise  for 
the  man  of  average  or  sub-average  intelligence, 
becomes  helpful  and  easy  for  one  of  talent.  The 
former  would  have  all  he  could  do  to  master  his 
text-books;  the  latter  would  have  an  invincible 
thirst  and  impulse  to  go  beyond  these  narrow 
limits  and  he  could  safely  be  trusted  to  do  so. 
It  is  an  indication  of  promise  to  see  this  curiosity 
for  knowledge  manifested  in  a  student.  It  re- 
quires much  judgment  to  know  what  to  accept  in 
the  journals,  to  distinguish  the  wheat  from  the 
chaff,  but  in  those  who  have  ability,  the  habit  of 
reading  the  periodicals  in  our  opinion  should  be 
encouraged.

BALTIMORE,  MD. 


A  college  men's  Dcmncrntic  league  was  organized 
at  the  University  on  April  3.^  It  is  a  branch  of 
the  National  College  Men's  Democratic  Clubs, 
and  Mr.  Herbert  L.  Grymes,  Mayor's  stenogra- 
pher, of  the  law  school,  is  the  father  of  it.  There 
are  about  40  members  and  Mr.  .John  B.  Walshe 
is  President.  No  particular  candidate  will  be 
endorsed,  bat  the  members  will  be  encouraged 
to  participate  in  campaign  work.  This  is  a  step 
in  the  right  direction  and  we  hope  there  will  also 
soon  be  formed  a  Republican  Club.  Anything 
should  be  welcomed  that  tends  to  encourage  an 
active  participation  in  politics  by  the  higher  and 
educated  classes  of  citizens.  There  is  always 
danger  when  the  management  of  public  affairs 
is  left  in  the  hands  of  the  bosses. 
o 

The  sixth  and  last  of  Professor  Randolph 
Winslow's  See  Ainei-ica  First  papers,  was  publish- 
ed in  the  Hospital  Bulletin  for  February.  Salt 
Lake  City  is  16  miles  from  Salt  Lake.  It  is  the 
capital  of  jMormondom  and  has  about  it  an  air 
of  mystery  and  foreignness.  The  streets  are 
smoothly  paved  and  there  are  many  fine  new 
edifices.  It  has  a  perennial  stream  of  cool 
mountain  water  and  a  mild,  pleasant  climate, 
with  the  Wasatch  Mountains  on  the  east  and  the 
salt  lake  (2500  square  miles)  on  the  west.  Thus 
invigorating  mountain  air  and  salt  water  bathing 
are  readily  accessible.  Polygamy  has  been  pub- 
licly discontinued,  though  many  of  the  saints  still 
have  several  wives.  In  the  centre  of  the  city  is 
the  Temple  enclosure,  10  acres  in  extent,  con- 
taining the  Temple  (for  the  elect  only),  the 
Tabernacle  and  the  Assembly  Hall.  The  Temple 
is  a  tall,  Gothic-looking  structure,  requiring  40 
years  to  build.  The  Tabernacle  is  an  enormous 
structure  seating  10,000,  and  the  shape  of  a  half 
egg-  shell,  resting  on  pillars.  It  has  no  central 
supports  and  the  sides  can  be  opened  at  a  mo- 
ment's notice.  Its  acoustic  properties  are  won- 
derful, its  organ  is  a  marvel  and  there  is  a  magnifi- 
cent choir.  Saltair  Pavilion  on  the  lake  is  a  min- 
iature Coney  Island .  The  water  is  22  per  cent,  salt, 
and  one  cannot  sink  in  it  though  he  may  be  drown- 
ed if  the  head  be  turned  downwards.  After  bath- 
ing, a  freshwater  bath  is  required  to  get  rid  of  the 
salt.  The  manufacture  of  salt  from  the  water  is 
a  large  industry. 

The  route  to  Colorado  Springs  is  through  the 
Canyons  of  the  Grand  and  Eagle  Rivers,  narrow

defiles  through  precipitous  walls,  2,500  feet  high, 
and  over  the  cmtinental  divide  of  the  Roclcies, 
at  Leadville,  10,200  feet  high.  The  streams  now 
flow  to  the  Atlantic.  At  tlie  Royal  Gorge  the 
Cleft  in  the  mountains  is  but  30  feet  wide,  and 
the  train  crosses  the  Arkansas  River  on  a  hang- 
ing bridge,  the  thread  of  bine  sky  being  visible  a 
half  mile  overliead  through  the  gap. 

Colorado  Springs  is  a  famous  health  resort 
with  Pike's  Peak  rising  near  by,  the  summit  of 
wdiich,  14,147  feet,  was  visited  by  raih-oad. 
From  the  dome  shaped  top,  which  consists  of  a 
mass  of  broken  rock,  there  is  a  magnificent 
view,  nearly  the  whole  of  Colorado  being  spread 
before  the  spectator.  At  tlie  time,  the  summit 
was  free  from  snow  and  the  temperature  not  dis- 
agreeably cold.  There  is  a  small  hotel  there. 
The  drinking  water  of  Colorado  Springs  is  de- 
rived from  this  mountain.  The  Cliff  Dwellings 
and  Garden  of  the  Gods,  with  the  balance  rock 
are  interesting.  From  Colorado  Springs,  the  trip 
homeward  was  without  special  interest.  About 
10,000  miles  had  been  covered.

RECOLLECTIONS  OF  SLAVE  DAYS 
AND  WAR  TIMES. 

By  the  Editor. 
(Co'itinued  from  p^tge  39). 

I  had  just  received  a  new  sword  from  the  Con- 
federate manufactory  at  Richmond,  and  I  parted 
with  it  very  reluctantly. 

We  were  marched  off'  in  single  file  to  the  road, 
where  the  greater  part  of  us  were  soon  collected 
about  fires.  As  we  filed  along  I  thought  of  the 
Hag  in  my  bo=om  and  considered  what  I  should 
do  with  it.  Supposing  that  of  course  we  would 
be  searched,  I  concluded  it  would  be  better  to 
destroy  it  than  let  it  fall  into  the  hands  of  the 
enemy,  and  become  a  trophy  for  them.  Those 
about  me  whose  advice  I  sought,  thought  the 
same;  so,  as  we  marched  along,  we  tore  it  into 
fine  strips,  an  1  dropping  it  upon  the  ground 
marched  over  it,  trampling  it  into  the  mud  be- 
neath our  feet — truly  an  emblem  of  our  lost 
hopes!  I  afterwards  deeply  regretted  this  dese- 
cration,  as  we   were    never    searched,    either  at

Waynesboro  or  at  Fort  Delaware,  and  I  might 
have  preserved  it  to  this  day,  a  valued  relic  of 
the  great  struggle. 

"From  a  hill,"  says  Early,  "I  had  the  mortifi- 
cation of  seeing  the  greater  part  of  my  command 
carried  off  prisoners  and  a  force  of  the  enemy 
moving  rapidly  towards  Rockfish  Gap."  Whar- 
ton, Early  and  Fife  made  their  escape  being 
mounted.  Nelson's  six  pieces  of  artillery  and 
five  others  on  the  cars  at  Greenwood  were  cap- 
tured. Only  one  person  appears  to  have  been 
killed  and  he  was  a  civilian — Col.  Wm.  H.  Har- 
mon— in  the  streets  of  Waynesboro. 

lean  hardly  write  of  this  ''affair,"  as  Early  calls 
it,  without  rising  wrath  and  indignation.  "The 
last  report  of  Wharton's  command  showed  1200 
men  for  duty,  but  as  it  was  exceedingly  inclem- 
ent— raining  and  freezing — there  were  not  more 
than  1000  muskets  on  the  line  and  Nelson's  six 
pieces  of  artillery."  Eai-ly  pitted  this  little  bodv 
of  1000  muskets  against  a  victorious  general 
whom  he  ought  by  this  time  to  have  known  and 
feared,  backed  by  12,000  of  the  finest  cavalry  the 
world  had  ever  seen,  accompanied  by  itsartilleiy. 
With  the  utmost  disregard  of  all  considerations 
of  prudence  and  sense,  he  posted  them  on  the 
same  side  of  a  swollen  river  passable  only  by  a 
narrow  plank  bridge,  where  they  were  a  prey  to 
the  foe.  And  for  what  forsooth?  To  save  five 
pieces  of  artillery  and  some  stores  and  present  a 
bold  front!  No  wonder  that  he  felt  mortifica- 
tion, when  having  provided  for  his  own  security 
by  timely  flight,  from  a  hill  top  he  saw  the  last 
of  the  troops  entrusted  to  him  by  General  Lee, 
being  led  away  captive,  whilst  but  two  miles 
away  was  the  strong  gap  in  the  mountain  where 
he  might  have  bid  defiance  to  his  foe  and  checked 
their  progress  towards  Grant's  army.  The  only 
solution  he  could  give  of  the  matter  was  that  his 
men  did  not  fight  as  he  had  expected  them  to 
do.  1  would  ask  what  men  will  fight  under  such 
circumstances,  against  such  odds,  deserted  by  their 
commander,  in  such  an  unfavorable  position,  re- 
treat cut  off  ?  Had  he  or  Wharton  remained  to 
give  orders  it  is  not  improbablethathe  might  have 
carried  off  the  greater  part  of  his  force  safely  to 
the    mountain.     Had   he   not   deserted  us  in  the

hour  of  need,  he  might  have  been  justified  in 
the  charge  that  we  would  not'  fight.  It  had  been 
noticed  that  Early  always  looked  after  his  own 
safety,  and  it  was  believed  that  if  he  had  been 
captured,  he  would  have  been  held  personally  ac- 
countable for  the  burning  of  Chambersburg. 
He  seems  to  take  some  consolation  in  the  belief 
that  by  offering  us  as  bait,  he  had  diverted  the 
enemy  from  Lynchburg,  which  they  might  have 
captured  without  difficulty.  I  have  not  seen  any 
evidence  that  they  contemplated  the  route  by 
Lynchburg,  but  even  if  they  did,  I  cannot  see 
that  we  were  useful  as  bait  in  obstructing  their 
way.  Early  proceeded  to  Southwest  Virginia, 
where  on  the  30th  of  March  (ten  days  before 
Lee's  surrender  at  Appomatox  Court  House)  he 
was  relieved  from  command. 

My  experience  at  Waynesboro  taught  the  folly  of 
"losing  one's  head,"  and  not  looking  about  and 
using  one's  thinking  faculties.  It  ought  to  have 
been  evident  to  me  before  crossing  the  bridge 
that  all  was  lost.  Had  I  remained  on  the  west 
side  of  the  river  and  gone  down  the  stream,  I 
believe  I  might  have  escaped.  Had  I  even  gone 
down  after  crossing  I  might  have  escaped  obser- 
vation among  the  rocks  along  the  bank,  as  the 
evening  was  far  advanced.  I  also  believe  that  if 
some  hundreds  of  us  could  have  been  kept  to- 
gether and  formed  a  hollow  square,  we  might 
have  made  our  way  to  the  mountain.  But  there 
was  no  one  to  take  command,  no  one  to  Tay  do 
this  or  that  and  consequently  there  was  no  pur- 
pose or  union  of  action  in  that  mass  of  fugitives, 
each  seeking  for  himself  hopeless  safety  in  flight. 
Perhaps  my  anxiety  about  the  flag  distracted  my 
attention  at  the  time  from  the  means  of  escape. 

We  passed  a  sleepless  night  around  the  camp 
fires,  without  blankets,  gazing  hopelessly  into 
each  others'  faces  as  they  were  lit  up  by  the 
nickering  light — silent — too   full   for    utterance  ! 

The  next  morning  we  began  the  long  and' 
painful  march  down  the  Valley,  wading  rivers 
waist-deep,    on    foot   from   dawn    to  night,  and

spending  the  nights  about  the  fires  drying  our  wet 
clothing,  but  not  sleeping.^  During  this  trying 
time,  I  never  ceased  to  look  for  an  opportunity 
to  escape,  but  our  captors  guarded  us  closely  and 
none  presented  itself.  The  ever- watchful  Ros- 
ser  collected  part  of  a  brigide  of  cavalry  and 
made  an  attack  on  our  guard  near  Newmarket, 
but  he  was  not  strong  enough  to  secure  our  release. 
At  Stephenson's  Depot,  six  miles  east  of  Win- 
chester, we  took  tiie  cars  of  the  Winchester  and 
Potomac  R.  R.,  passing  my  home,  Charlestown, 
in  the  night;  consequently  I  saw  nothing  of  my 
friends  or  acquaintances  there,  and  had  no  op- 
portunity to  let  my  family  know  of  my  capture. 
In  Baltimore  we  spent  two  days  at  Fort  Mc- 
Henry  and  then  took  the  steamer  by  canal  for 
i'ort  Delaware  in  Delaware  Bay,  arriving  there 
on  March  12. 

This  fortress  is  situated  on  an  island  and  at  the 
time  of  my  arrival  there  were  in  the  oIHcers'  bar- 
racks, where  I  was  confined,  about  2,700  pris- 
oners, and  in  the  men's  barracks  adjoining  be- 
tween 7,0C0  and  8,000.  I  was  in  Division  34,  with 
ovee  a  hundred  others.  Tlie  barracks  were  wooden 
buildings  joined  end  to  end  and  occupying  the 
exterior  of  a  court  of  sevei-al  acres.  A  high  fence 
separated  the  officers  from  the  non  commissioned 
otficers  and  privates,  and  there  was  no  communi- 
cation except  by  the  underground  route,  i.  e., 
by  the  gutters  through  which  one  might  crawl. 
Around  the  sides  of  each  division  there  w^ere 
bunks,  two  or  three  stories  high,  where  we  slept. 

This  little  spell  of  prison  life  was  an  experi- 
ence, which — now  that  it  is  past — I  am  glad  to 
have  had.  There  were  two  things  that  1  thought 
necessary  to  render  my  war  service  complete 
and  I  had  a  strange  desire  to  see  both  realized. 
They  were  to  be  wounded  and  to  be  a  prisoner  of 
war.  Both  wishes  were  gratified  and  in  no  ex- 
treme degree  in  either  case.  I  have  referred  to 
the  wounds  received  at  Winchester,  Sept.  19, 1864, 
of  which  I  bear  two  scars,  and  I  shall  now  en- 
deavor to  describe  the  fifteen  weeks  I  spent  as  a 
prisoner  of  war  at  Fort  Delaware. 

The  Avorst  part  of  our  confinement  was  the 
fare  with  which  we  were  served.  We  received 
two  meals  daily,  the  first  consisting  of  i  tincup 
of  coffee  and  a  piece  of  bread,  the  second  of  -i 
tincup  of  soup — abominable  green-looking  stufT 
— a  piece  of  bread  and  a  piece  of  beef.  Both  in 
quantity  and  quality  it   was   utterly   insufficient

for  health.  Fortunately  we  had  the  privilege  of 
purchasing  provisions  from  the  sutler — at  ex- 
orbitant rates  to  be  sure — still  we  could  do  so  if  we 
had  the  money  nnd  many  no  doubt  owed  their  lives 
to  this  favor — i!ie  result  of  the  desire  to  secure 
the  little  money  we  had  with  us.  Fortunately 
for  me,  one  of  my  four  messmates,  Capt.  Hugh 
Toney,  had  with  him  some  greenbacks,  which  he 
had  been  preserving  for  some  such  emergency  as 
this,  and  with  these  we  procured  needed  extras, 
as  wood  to  cook  with,  canned  meats,  bread,  su- 
gar, etc.  Our  cooking  was  done  in  the  lower 
part  of  the  enclosure — near  the  water.  Notwith- 
atanding  this  help,  we  suffered  from  very  severe 
and  protracted  dysenteries,  and  I  came  home 
with  one,  which  clung  to  me  for  many  weeks. 
Another  form  of  sickness  which  was  prevalent 
was  scurvy.  This  was  particularly  severe  in 
some  men  who  were  Lronght  from  Savannah. 
Many  of  the  p  )or  fellows  died  from  it.

DEPARTMENT  OF  MEDICINE. 

The  course  of  lectures  on  the  History  of  Med- 
icine closed  on  March  30.  The  course  includes  a 
weekly  lecture  from  Oct.  1.  The  Medical  Review 
of  Revieua  is  going  to  publish  information  on  the 
teaching  of  this  subject  in  the  medical  schools  of 
the  country.  It  is  well  known  that  our  school 
had  the  first  full  chair  of  it  in  the  country. 

The  following  are  the  officers  of  the  Randolph 
Winslow  Surgical  Society,  all  seniors:  Hender- 
son Irwin,  Pres.,  H.  A.  Bishop,  V.  P.,  Michael 
Vinciguerra,  Sec,  E.  P.  Kolb,  Treas.,  R.  E. 
Abell,  Historian.  35  students,  seniors  and  ju- 
niors, compose  the  active  membership.  The 
honorary  memliers  are  Prof.  R.  Winslow,  Drs. 
F.  Martin,  A.  M.  Shipley,  N.  Winslow,  R.  P. 
Bay,  J.  Holmes  Smith,  Jr.,  F.  S.  Lynn  and

There  have  been  a  great  many  improvements 
made  at  University  Hospital  recently.  There 
is  a  new  tile  corridor  on  the  first  floor.  Old 
style  chandeliers  are  all  displaced  by  new  up-to- 
date  ceiling  lights.  The  lying-in  department

lor  has  been  renovated  within  and  without  and 
supplied  with  new  mission  furniture,  and  potted 
plants.  The  laboratory  work  is  increasing;  both 
pathological  and  radiographic  departments  show 
marked  increase  in  amount  and  character  of 
work.  Many  more  patients  are  being  handled 
than  in  previous  years.  The  kitchen  ranges  and 
cooking  utensils  have  been  replaced  by  up-to- 
date  appliances.  A  porch  is  contemplated  for 
the  women's  free  ward  by  the  lady  board  and 
faculty  jointly. 

Mr.  Lebrett,  editor  of  this  department,  who 
has  been  a  patient  at  University  Hospital  for 
several  weeks,  is  recovering  and  will  soon  be  able 
to  leave  the  hospital. 

On  April  11,  80  of  the  83  members  of  the 
Senior  Class  passed  successfully  the  Orthopedic 
Examination  of  Prof.  R.  Tunstall  Taylor. 

Dr.  K.  B.  Jones,  11,  has  received  an  appoint- 
ment to  the  Staff  of  Bayview  Hospital  for  the

DEPARTMENT  OF  PHARMACY. 

Sixty-five  candidates  attended  the  examination 
of  the  State  Board  of  Pharmacy,  held  in  Davidge 
Hall,  on  April  4.  There  was  one  lady.  The 
following  day  the  practical  examination  was  held 
in  the  laboratory  of  pharmacy.  The  Board  con- 
sists of  W.  C.  Powell,  President,  Ephraim 
Bacon,  Secty.,  H.  L.  Meredith,  J.  Fuller  Frames, 
and  David  R.  Millard.  A  number'  of  the  se- 
nior students  applied,  so  that  when  they  gradu- 
ate in  June,  they  will  be  full-fledged  pharma- 
cists. 

No  doubt  the  Seniors  will  have  their  usual  an- 
nual baseball  match  with  the  Juniors  and  organ- 
ization is  now  in  order. 

A  member  of  the  Senior  Class,  who  has 
already  made  an  extensive  study  of  radium  will 
pursue  the  study  of  the  subject  in  Europe  after 
graduation.  We  believe  he  will  add  a  great  deal 
to  the  world  of  science,  judging  from  the  learned 
discourses  he  holds  with  members  of  the  Faculty 
on  the  subject.

The  Kappa  Mu  Phi  Fraternity,  organized  in 
the  Junior  Class,  promises  to  become  one  of  the 
leading  frats  of  the  University.  It  was  designed 
to  bring  about  good  fellowship  among  the  phar- 
macy students  and  to  promote  athletics  and  all 
clean  sports.  Quite  a  number  of  recruits  have 
been  gotten  together  for  the  Junior  baseball  team 
which  promises  to  give  a  good  account  of  itself. 
The  team  owes  a  good  bit  of  its  success  to  Dr. 
Kelly  who  has  worked  hard  for  its  success  and 
has  promised  to  manage  it.  The  frat  has  also 
been  instrumental  in  bringing  about  a  tennis 
tournament  among  the  Juniors,  in  which  the 
two  youHg  ladies  of  the  Junior  Class,  will  take 
part.  A  committee  has  also  been  appointed  to 
soe  the  dean  and  get  the  faculty  interested  in 
athletics,  as  it  is  desired  the  department  should 
stand  out  prominently  in  the  coming  athletic 
events  this  Spring.  (We  are  indebted  to  Mr.

Among  recent  visitors  to  the  department  were 
Dr.  R.  E.  Loucks,  of  Canada,  who  is  now  prac-

future  work  along  fraternal  lines.  Tlie  conven- 
tion closed  with  a  banquet  and  a  ball.  Next 
year's  convention  will  be  held  in  Boston. 

Professor  Isaac  H.  Davis  has  inaugurated  a 
plan  that  weekly  one  of  the  Senior  Class  shall 
read  an  original  paper  on  a  dental  subject.  So 
far  Messrs.  Fred.  0.  Moore,  J.  F.  M.  Keighley 
and  W.  H.  Clark  have  read  papers  which  have 
been  exceedingly  interesting  to  all  who  have 
heard  them. 

The  Junior  Class  held  its  annual  banquet  at 
the  Eutaw  House  on  March  23.  About  40  mem-

hand  in  their  Theses  on  time  are  not  permitted 
to  enter  the  competition  for  the  |100  prize,  their 
work  counting  towards  graduation  merely.  This 
extension  was  due  to  the  fact  that  many  of  the

of  the  state  was  a  big  success.  The  number  of 
contestants  was  so  large  that  it  necessitated  the 
holding  of  two  preliminary  contests  in  the  after- 
noon at  which  all  except  ten  men  were  elimin-

REDEMPTIONERS. 

The  history  of  the  immigrant  laborers,  known 
as  "Reilemptioners,"  is  one  of  great  interest. 
The  condition  was  the  result  of  a  pernicious  sys- 
tem of  contract  lobor,  voluntarily  (but  under 
more  or  le.-is  misapprehension)  entered  into  for 
the   payment   of  the   passage    money  across  the

Atlantic.  It  was  a  species  of  limited  slavery 
and  most  of  the  laws  of  the  State  g)verning  the 
relations  of  negro  slaves  applied  to  it. 

These  redemptioners  were  of  different  nation- 
alities, first,  English,  Irish,  Scotch,  later,  Ger- 
man, Swiss  and  Dutch.  Those  of  the  German 
race  are  treated  of  in  Louis  P.  Hennighausen's 
'''History  of  the  German  Society  of  3Lirylancl," 
1.909. 

These  persons  signed  a  contract  which  gave 
the  Captain  of  the  vessel  bringing  them  c/er  the 
right  to  hire  them  out  to  masters  who  would  pay 
wages  in  advance  to  the  amount  of  their  passage 
money.  A  violation  of  the  contract  by  the  ser- 
vant, or  "apprentice,"  was  punishable  by  cor- 
poral punishment  and  imprisonment. 

The  redemptioners  were,  in  general,  well 
treated.  Among  them  were  teachers  and  minis- 
ters of  the  Gospel,  bought  by  congregations  to 
minister  for  them.  The  Rev.  Samuel  Schwerd- 
feger,  a  graduate  in  law  and  theology  of  the  Uni- 
verity  of  Eriangen,  who  arrived  here  in  1753,  be- 
ing then  21  years  old,  was  bought  as  their  pastor 
by  the  Lutheran  Congregation  of  York,  Pa.  A 
learned  apothecary  was  sold  in  Baltimore.  It 
was  no  disgrace  to  have  served  and  many  became 
prosperous  and  even  wealthy  and  intermarilages 
between  masters  and  servants  were  not  uncom- 
mon. 

But  there  was  a  dark  side  to  the  system.  The 
redemptioners  were  not  allowed  to  choose  their 
masters  or  the  kind  of  service  they  were  to  per- 
form; they  were  often  separated  from  their  fam- 
ilies, sometimes  overworked, cruelly  punished, in- 
sufficiently fed,  clothed  and  lodged.  As  many 
masters  compelled  them  to  live  with  the  slaves, 
some  of  the  females  cohabited  with  the  latter 
and  gave  birth  to  mulatto  children.  In  1663  the 
legislature  of  Maryland  passed  a  law  to  the  effect 
that  any  such  women  who  should  marry  negroes 
should  thereby  become  the  slaves  of  the  masters 
of  the  latter  during  the  life  of  their  husbands, 
and  their  children  should  be  slaves  as  their 
fathers  were.  While  doubtless  honestly  intended 
to  prevent  these  marriages,  many  of  the  owners 
through    cupidity  purposely  intermarried  the  re-

demptioners  with  their  negro  slave  men,  there- 
by securing  as  slaves  both  the  former  and  their 
children. 

The  law  was  repealed  under  the  following  cir- 
cumstances: In  the  Spring  of  1681,  Lord  Bal- 
timore came  to  Maryland  on  a  visit,  bringing 
with  him  an  Irish  maid  servant.  He  soon  re- 
turned to  England  leaving  the  maid,  who  as  a 
redemptioner,  was  sold  to  a  resident  of  the  Col- 
ony. Within  two  months  thereafter,  the  mas- 
ter married  the  girl  to  his  slave  butler.  Lord 
Baltimore,  hearingof  this,  became  indignant,  and 
secured  the  repeal  of  the  objectionable  law  and  the 
enactment  of  a  new  law  effectually  doing  away 
with  such  marriages,  and  imposing  heavy  penal- 
ties on  those  implicated  in  them. 

In  other  respects  the  condition  of  the  early  re- 
demptioner was  on  a  level  with  the  negro  slave. 
He  could  not  purchase  or  sell  or  go  ten  miles 
away  without  permission,  under  penalty  of  se- 
vere punishment.  Those  harboring  runaways 
were  punished  and  there  was  a  standing  reward 
for  the  fugitive  himself.  For  every  day's  ab- 
sence, ten  days  were  added  to  the  period  of  servi- 
tude. The  master  could  inflict  punishment  to 
the  extent  of  ten  lashes,  at  his  discretion,  but 
excessive  punishment  was  liable  to  a  fine  and 
freeing  of  the  servant.  The  redemptioners  being 
poor  and  ignorant  were  at  the  mercy  of  rapacious 
masters,  who  often  kept  them  in  servitude  after 
the  expiration  of  their  terms. 

Mr.  Hennighausen  gives  an  interesting  account 
of  the  origin  of  the  trade,  begun  with  the  Dutch, 
who  found  it  more  remunerative  and  less  trouble- 
some than  the  African  Slave  trade,  in  which 
they  had  previously  eng.iged.  Gaudily  dressed 
runners  were  sent  through  the  country  with 
flourish  of  trumpets,  depicting  in  glowing  lan- 
guage the  attractions  of  the  new  Eldorado.  No 
money  was  needed  for  the  voyage;  all  that  was 
required  was  a  contract  to  pay  the  passage 
money  out  of  the  first  earnings.  Those  were 
happy  crowds  that  were  thus  gathered  together 
and  traveled  in  wagons  to  the  Dutch  port. 
Horses  and  wagons  were  decorated  with  gay  rib- 
bons and  there  were  joyous  songs,  for  toil  and 
poverty  were  being  left  behind. 

But  once  on  board  and  contract  ;-:igned,  there 
was  a  change.  There  was  great  suffering  from 
insufficient  and  bad  food  and  water  and  the  mor- 
tality was  fearful.     The  survivors  had  to  make

up  the  loss  of  those  who  died  while  the  Captain 
of  the  vessels  claimed  their  effects. 

Mr.  Hernighausen  details  a  thrilling  story  of 
a  white  slave,  Sally  Miiller,  who  was  rescued  from 
slavery  in  New  Orleans,  after  27  years,  during 
which  she  had  been  treated  as  a  colored  person, 
had  been  married  to  a  negro  and  had  given  birth 
to  three  children.  Instances  are  even  known, 
both  in  Louisiana  and  Maryland,  of  redemptioners 
having  deen  purchased  by  free  negroes.  In  Penn- 
sylvania and  Maryland  they  were  usually  bought 
by  Germans  and  their  condition  was  thereby 
rendered  more  bearable  and  hopeful.  The  horrors 
of  the  ocean  trip  was  the  principal  cause  of  the 
founding  of  the  German  Societies  in  the  Atlantic 
seaports  in  the  18th  century. 

On  Feb.  16,  1818,  the  German  society  of  Mary- 
land procured  the  passage  by  the  Legislature  of 
a  law  for  the  German  and  Swiss  Redemptioners, 
which  thenceforth  did  away  with  the  evils  that 
had  previously  existed  regarding  them. 

There  are  many  interesting  details  upon  this 
subject  in  the  volume  under  consideration.  We 
are  reminded  by  it  of  an  autobiography  of  Dr. 
Christian  Boerstler,  who  settled  at  Funkstown, 
in  the  western  part  of  the  state,  in  1784.  Two 
of  his  daughters  were  "redemptioners,"  having 
to  serve  three  and  four  years  respectively,  after 
their  arrival  in  Maryland.  The  sketch,  trans- 
lated from  the  original  German,  was  published  in 
the  Journal  of  American,  liidory,    Vol.  ,2,    1908, 


and  an  abstract  of  it  appeared  in  Old  Maryland 

for  Feb.  1910.

RECOLLECTIONS  OF  SLAVE  DAYS 
AND  WAR  TIMES. 

By  the  Editor. 

( Cofidiifled  from  page  60 ) . 

We  were  allowed  to  correspond  with  our 
friends,  writing  upon  one  side  only  of  a  page  of 
paper  and  leaving  the  letter  open  for  perusal. 
Thus  I  communicated  with  my  parents  and  with 
my  brother,  who  was  a  prisoner  of  war  at  Camp 
Chase,  Ohio.  I  also  wrote  to  friends  in  Phila- 
delphia and  Baltimore,  who  sent  me  money  and 
clothing.  To  Mrs.  Moncure  Robinson,  of  Phila., 
and  Mrs.  Dr.  J.  Hanson  Thomas,  of  Baltimore, 
I  owed  many  kind  letters  and  much  assistance. 
Many  of  the  prisoners  received  boxes,  contain- 
ing food  and  delicacies. 

I  was  fortunate  on  my  arrival  in  being  able  to 
purchase  a  pair  of  shoes  and  a  lot  of  tobacco.  I 
did  not  use  the  latter  myself  but  sent  it  by  one 
of  the  sergeants  of  my  company — Mike  Hays — 
who  had  crawled  in  under  the  fence,  to  the  poor 
fellows  on  the  other  side.  They  had  no  friends 
to  help  them  and  Hays  told  me  that  they  hung- 
ered so  for  their  beloved  weed,  that  many  of 
them  traded  clothing,  food,  anything  they  had 
for  it. 

Our  employments  were  various.  There  were 
mechanics  of  almost  every  sort:  jewelers,  watch- 
makers, carpenters,  etc.  The  making  of  orna- 
ments and  trinkets  from  gutta  percha  and  other 
materials  was  a  favorite  pursuit  and  a  good  deal 
was  made  in  this  way.  There  were  classes  wliere 
one  could  obtain  instruction  in  Latin,  Greek, 
mathematics,  writing,  etc.  There  were  circula- 
ting lil)raries.  There  was  a  Christian  Asrocia- 
tion  with  members  in  every  division.  Morning 
and  evening  prayer  was  said  and  services  of  va- 
rious sorts  were  provided  for  Sunday.  I  was  on 
the  Committee  of  Order  and  Arrangements. 
There  was  no  scarcity  of  books  and  periodict^ls. 


I  at  this  time  read  with  great  pleasure  and  I 
trust  benefit,  D'Aubigne's  History  of  the  Ref- 
ormation. 

As  for  amusements,  we  had  games  ot  various 
sorts.  Checkers  was  the  favorite  in  our  mess, 
Captain  Toney  being  a  champion  in  that  game. 
Chess  and  backgammon  were  also  played.  Some 
preferred  cards,  and  I  fear  there  was  consider- 
able gambling  carried  on. 

Our  favorite  exercise  was  walking  in  the  Court. 
Here,  of  evenings,  hundreds  would  be  found 
taking  the  air  and  joining  in  conversation.  Once 
we  were  confined  for  some  days  to  the  barracks. 
This  was  when  President  Lincoln  was  assassin- 
ated. So  exasperated  were  the  Federal  soldiers 
over  this  event,  that  for  a  time  our  lives  were 
threatened  and  we  received  orders  to  confine  our- 
selve  to  our  quarters,  lest  the  guards  should 
wreak  their  vengeance  on  us.  This  feeling  how- 
ever passed  away  in  a  few  days.  Once  or  twice 
we  were  taken  outside  the  Fort  and  those  who 
desired  it  were  allowed  to  bathe  in  the  Bay. 

Twice,  I  think,  we  were  permitted  by  the 
Commandant  to  have  concerts,  the  proceeds  be- 
ing given  to  those  persons  who  were  most  in 
want  and  without  friends  to  supply  them.  These 
entertainments  were  given  in  the  Mess  Hall  and 
were  very  creditable  to  the  participants.  The 
singing  was  good  and  I  recall  two  songs  that  I 
then  heard,  one  being  "Larry  O'Brien,"  the 
other  "Normandy."  A  Captain  Lee — relative 
of  General  Lee — also  whistled  very  sweetly. 

From  the  time  of  our  arrival  on,  detachments 
of  prisoners  were  continually  coming,  and  the 
news  they  brought  was  far  from  cheering.  They 
told  of  reverses  that  foreshadowed  the  early  sur- 
render of  our  armies.  When  General  Lee  sur- 
rendered at  Appomattox  on  April  9,  we  held 
meetings  at  which  tlie  question  was  anxiously 
discu.-;sed  whether  we  could  accept  an  oath  of 
allegiance  as  the  condition  of  our  release.     My

own  views  accorded  with  those  of  the  spealiers 
who  took  the  ground  that  our  allegiance  was  due 
to  the  Southern  Confederacy  as  long  as  that  re- 
mained in  existence  and  we  still  had  an  army  in 
the  field.  Manj'  therefore  concluded  that,  in 
view  of  the  obligations  we  were  under,  we  could 
not  conscientiously  accept  the  ofler  made  us  on 
April  2fi.  27,  and  28.  About  one-half  of  the 
officers,  however,  took  it  and  were  speedily  re- 
leased. The  rest  remained  until  .Johnston  sur- 
rendered, when  we  expressed  our  willingness  to 
comply  with  their  terms.  This  was  early  in  May 
but  we  were  detained  until  the  latter  part  of 
June  and  I  was  with  the  very  last  partj^  of  line 
officers  to  be  liberated.  Generals  R.  L.  Page 
and  Barranger  and  about  fifty  field  officers  re- 
mained but  with  the  privilege  of  parole  of  the 
island  and  with  expectation  of  release  in  about 
ten  days.  I  may  mention  that  I  found  General 
Page  an  old  friend  of  my  mother.  He  was  a 
native  of  the  Valley  of  Virginia  and  had  been  a 
frequent  visitor  at  "Wheatland,"  my  grand- 
father's place  near  Charlestown.  He  had  been 
captured  in  the  attack  on  Mobile.  I  also  met  at 
the  Fort,  a  cousin,  Beverly  Turner,  of  Fauquier 
Co.,  Va.,  several  schoolmates  and  a  former 
teacher,  a  Mr.  Ryland,  of  Richmond. 

About  the  middle  of  April,  letters  from  home 
informed  me  that  many  of  my  old  schoolmates 
had  returned  and  were  again  to  be  seen  on  the 
streets  of  Charlestown;  a  little  later  they  were 
enjoying  themselves  and  every  one  was  giving 
them  a  warm  reception  and  endeavoring  to  make 
them  have  "a  good  time."  There  were  frequent 
parties  and  many  young  girls  had  grown  up  and 
become  society  women  since  we  had  left  for  tlie 
wars.  Business  also  had  begun  to  pickup;  the 
stores  were  filled  with  goods  and  the  streets  were 
crowded  with  people.  All  this  caused  sadness, 
as  I  was  debarred  from  sharing  these  pleasures 
and  felicitations. 

At  last  the  joyful  news  came  that  we  M'ere  to 
be  set  free  and  at  dark  on  the  evening  of  the 
19th  of  -June,  1865— within  six  days  of  the  22nd 
anniversary  of  my  birth — we  took  our  leave  of 
the  Fort  and  island,  embarking  on    the  Richard

Willing,  a  regular  steamer  of  the  Philadelphia 
and  Baltimore  line.  We  returned  to  the  latter 
city  by  the  same  route  by  which  we  had  gone, 
reaching  the  wharf  on  Pratt  St.,  at  8  o'clock 
the  next  morning.  We  put  up  at  the  Fountain 
Inn  on  Light  St. 

I  soon  found  friends  who  provided  me  with 
clean  underclothing  and  insisted  upon  my  spend- 
ing some  days  with  them.  I  was  also  enabled 
to  pay  Captain  Toney  the  $20  I  owed  him  on 
mess  account.  After  three  days,  being  sick  and 
home-sick  all  the  time,  I  reached  my  home  once 
more  and  found  my  brother  from  Camp  Chase 
had  preceded  me  by  some  weeks.  My  oldest 
brother,  who  had  been  with  Sterling  Price  be- 
yond the  Mississippi,  had  also  returned. 

I  was  too  ill  to  share  in  the  hospitable  welcome 
accorded  to  those  who  had  fought  for  the  South. 
To  promote  my  recovery,  we  took  two  cabins  at 
Shannondale  Springs  on  the  Shenandoah  River 
near  the  Blue  Ridge  Mountain  and  spent  several 
weeks  there.  Gradually  by  careful  diet  and 
treatment  my  health  was  restored  and  in  the  fall 
I  sought  employment  in  teaching. 

I  will  not  indulge  in  any  lengthy  reflections  re- 
garding the  four  years  through  which  I  had 
passed.  My  education  had  been  interrupted  and 
the  early  years  of  my  manhood  had  been  wasted 
in  useless  warfare  and  bloodshed.  But  I  had 
gained  experience  which  I  could  not  otherwise 
have  acquired.  I  had  learned  self-reliance  and 
had  obtained  wide  views  of  human  life  and  es- 
pecially of  the  uses  of  adversity.  I  had  been 
taught  by  dire  suffering  how  to  appreciate  the 
blessings  of  life,  and  I  have  never  sat  down  to 
my  comfortable  meals  or  retired  to  my  restful

I  had  neither  and  renewing  my  feelings  of  deep 
gratitude  for  my  preservation  through  those 
days  of  suffering  and  trial  and  for  all  the  bless- 
ings I  have  since  enjoyed. 

And  as  for  these  Reminiscences — in  conclusion 
— I  will  only  say  that  whatever  they  lack  they 
are  true  records  of  my  experience  as  a  Confeder- 
ate soldier.  Being  professedly  personal,  I  have 
had  to  speak  largely  of  myself — my  own  tho'ights, 
words  and  acts  and  I  fear  there  may  be  some- 
thing of  egotism  in  them.  But  I  can  honestly 
declare  that  I  have  endeavored  not  to  exagge- 
rate my  services  and  abilities  and  that  my  ob- 
ject has  been  ever  to  state  the  truthand  to  show

DEPARTMENT  OF  PHARMACY. 

On  Monday,  April  29,  the  Senior  Class  pre- 
sented their  picture  to  be  hung  in  the  Pharma- 
ceutical Laboratory.  The  pictures  are  very  good 
likenesses  of  both  the  Faculty  and  Students. 

We  are  very  glad  to  note  the  splendid  way  in 
which  the  Term  Marife  of  1912  is  written.  No 
doubt  it  took  a  great  amount  of  careful  thought 
and  labor  to  prepare  so  creditable  a  volume. 
The  board  of  editors  are  to  be  congratulated. 
We  believe  full  justice  has  been  done  the  Phar- 
macy department  in  this  year's  book. 

All  those  men  who  have  taken  the  State  Board 
Examinations  are  anxiously  awaiting  May  15, 
the  date  for  the  "hearing." 

There  seems  to  be  an  added  interest  in  the 
work  at  hand  in  this  department.  Nearly  every 
student  you  meet  has  a  handful!  of  crude  drugs, 
intent  on  being  able  to  identify  them  and  to 
know  tlieir  essential  points. 

The  final  examination  for  the  Seniors  begins 
on  May  15;  the  last  one  will  be  on  the  24.  We 
sincerely  hope  that  all  those  who  take  the  exams 
will  be  on  hand  June  1. 

Several  w'eeks  ago  the  notice  "game  today, 
rain  or  shine,"  decorated  the  board.  Dr.  Hyn- 
son  very  graciously  donated  the  afternoon  to  us 
and  we  were  to  go  out  and  defeat  the  Juniors  in 
baseball.  But  the  day  was  so  damp  we  fear  they 
got  "cold  feet,"  because  we  found  but  two  heavy 
hitters  to  meet  the  whole  Senior  Class.  How- 
ever there  was  quite  a  bowling  contest  carried  on, 
in  which  a  number  of  the    fellows    participated. 

The  members  of  the  .Junicir  Class  have  been 
playing  at  baseball  during  the  Spring.  Too  bad 
their  results  have  tallied  with  tlie  enthusiasm 
they  manifested. 

Dr.  Sullivan  of  the  class  of  1907,  who  has  been 
successful  in  the  drug  business  in  Texas,  paid  us 
a  short  visit  not  long  ago.  In  addition  to  his 
having  accumulated  a  few  coins  of  the  realm,  he 
has  added  to  his  avoidupois  to  such  an  extent 
that  the  professors  were  at  a  loss  to  recognize 
him. 

Dr.  C.  0.  iMiller  frequently  comes  "prowling 
around  the  shanty."  Possibly  justifying  the 
statement  of  one  of  the  professors  that  "Chickens 


come  home  to  roost."  Dr..  Miller  is  making 
good  in  the  Pure  Food  and  Drug  Department  of 
the  State. 

We  hope  and  wish  that  the  Class  of  1912, 
when  it  finally  makes  its  departure  will  carry 
with  it  a  high  regard  for  the  University,  and 
some  day,  in  the  future,  if  needs  be,  come  to  its 
financial  assistance.  We  hope  every  one  will  be- 
gin by  subscribing  to  Old  Maryland  and 
thus  keep  in  touch  with  the  University  doings.

ST.  JOHN'S   COLLEGE    (DEPARTMENT 
OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES). 

Four  members  of  the  Faculty,  Dr.  Bartgis 
McGlone,  Professors  C.  W.  Stryker,  E.  S.  Arm- 
strong and  E.  H.  Sirich,  recently  handed  in 
their  resignations.  The  professors  will  remain 
until  the  end  of  the  present  year.  Their  action 
is  due  to  the  fact  that  they  feel  that  they  cannot 
perform  their  duties  as  instructors  satisfactorily, 
so  long  as  the  military  and  athletics  are  given 
such  prominence  as  they  are  today.  Lieut. 
Fisher  leaves  this  June,  and  it  is  reported  that 
Prof.  Woodcock,  of  the  department  of  mathe- 
matics, will  not  return  either.  These  six  vacan- 
cies in  the  Faculty  will  be  difficult  to  fill  if  St. 
John's  is  going  to  maintain  a  high  scholastic 
standing. 

The  intercollegiate  oratorical  contest  held  at 
St.  John's  on  April  27th  was  won  by  Chas.  H. 
Murray,  of  Western  Md;  W.  Dewitt  Allen,  of 
Washington  College,  got  second  place.  The  rep- 
resentative of  St.  .John's  was  C.  C.  Magruder. 

The  following  Collegian  Board  for  the  ensuing 
year  was  elected  by  the  Junior  Class:  J.  P. 
Jacobs,  Editor-in-chief;  E.  Crum,  Assistant;  G.  • 
Gering,  Athletic  Ecjitor;  T.  W.  Spicknall,  C.  C. 
Magruder,  F.  H.  Hennighausen,  Associates;  A. 
Tennant  and  W.  Ruhl,  Business  Managers. 

The  government  inspection  of  the  Corps  of 
Cadets  took  place  on  Friday  and  Saturday,  April 
2Gth  and  27th.  The  battalion  made  a  very  good 
showing  and  the  inspector,  Captain  Wm.  H. 
Raymond,  expressed  his  satisfaction  in  the  work.

DEPARTMENT  OF  DENTISTRY. 

The  dental  department  of  the  University,  in 
closing  about  a  fortnight  hence,  will  have  com- 
pleted its  most  successful  term  since  it  was 
founded,  both  as  to  the  character  and  the  amount 
of  work  performed.  The  various  professors  and  in- 
structors report  favorably  upon  the  mental  efforts 
and  technical  skill  of  the  student  body;  so  it 
seems  perfectly  reasonable  to  expect  that  this 
year's  graduating  class  will  more  than  fulfill  the 
requirements  of  their  future  life's  work. 

It  is  rather  a  trying  ordeal  on  any  institution 
when  the  individual  members-  of  its  graduating 
class  are  put  to  tests  such  as  are  now  exacted  of 
graduates  of  the  best  dental  schools,  but  we  feel 
assured  that  the  success  of  our  students  in  future 
tests  will  show  conclusively  that  they  have 
adapted  themselves  to  the  work  of  an  institution 
worthy  of  its  name. 

One  of  our  graduate  students  this  year,  Mr. 
Leslie  T.  Allen,  reports  that  the  Province  of  Al- 
berta has  listed  the  University  of  Maryland 
along  with  about  ten  others  in  the  United  States, 
as  a  registered  and  accredited  institution. 

Professor  T.  0.  Heatwole  has  been  busily  en- 
gaged recently  in  bringing  to  a  focus  the  Chapin 
A.  Harris  Memorial.  This  memorial  to  Dr. 
Chapin  A.  Harris  originated  with  Dr.  Heatwole, 
who,  as  he  was  retiring  from  the  presidency  of  the 
Maryland  State  Dental  Society,  in  conjunction 
with  Dr.  W.  G.  Foster  suggested  to  this  society 
plans  for  this  excellent  scheme.  The  committee 
appointed  was:  Drs.  W.  G.  Foster,  President; 
W.  W.  Dunbracco,  Secretary;  H.  A.  Wilson, 
Treasurer;  W.  G.  Sykes,  B.  Holly  Smith,  J.  W. 
Smith  and  Professor  Heatwole.  Already  there 
have  been  collected  about  .$400,  but  it  is  their  in- 
tention to  raise  about  S30,000.  The  committee 
intends  to  make  an  appeal  to  the  various  dental 


OLD  MAKYLAND.

associations,  school?,  ami  manufacturers  through 
out  the  country,  and  a  direct  appeal  to  each  in- 
dividual of  the  30,000  dentists  in  America.  As  this 
memorial  is  to  be  placed  in  Baltimore,  where 
Dr.  Harris  began  and  completed  his  life's  work, 
Maryland  dentists  should  have  a  particular  in- 
terest in  its  successful  consummation.  Profes- 
sor Heatwole  is  very  enthusiastic  about  the  pro- 
ject and,  to  quote  his  own  words  in  speaking  of 
tliis  matter  to  the  Editor,  he  says,  "A  man  like 
Dr.  Harris,  and  the  noble  work  of  his  lifetime 
whicli  has  enlarged  and  ramified  so  extensively 
in  the  world's  work,  should  be  memorialized  by 
a  fitting  and  splendid  testimonial  to  his  honor, 
wherein  the  entire  profession  should  take  part. 
This  can  be  brought  about  in  the  following  man- 
ner: after  this  rangnificent  memorial  is  com- 
pleted, it  can  be  dedicated  in  the  presence  of  the 
National  Dental  Society  meeting  in  Baltimore, 
also  prominent  dental  educators  and  scientific 
men  from  the  first  ranks  of  the  profession,  and 
public  spirited  men  in  general,  who  can  appre- 
ciate the  wonderful  success  this  man's  life's  work 
attained." 

The  U.  S.  Civil  vService  Commission  will  hold 
an  examination  at  Baltimore  and  other  places 
on  June  5,  for  the  position  of  dental  interne 
(male),  at  if 600  salary,  with  maintenance,  in  the 
Government  Hosp.  for  Insane,  Wash.,  D.  C.  Ap- 
plicants must  be  unmarried  and  not  over  20. 
Apply  at  once  to  "U.  S.  Civil  Service  Commis- 
sion, Wash.,  D.  C." 

We  are  in  receipt  of  an  announcement  that 
Robert  T.  Skelton,  residing  at  Union  Hill,  N. 
J.,  was  married  to  Miss  Lucy  Augusta  Hasbrouck, 
of  New  York  City.  We  extend  congratulations 
and  best  wishes  to  them.  F.  J.  V.

DEPARTMENT  OF  LAW. 

There  are  50  candidates  for  the  degree. 

The  banquet  of  the  Class  of  1912  will  be  held 
on  June  5. 

The  Senior  law  finals  began  May  14  and  will 
continue  until  the  23.  Predictions  are  gener- 
ally indulged  in  among  the  senioi's  that  I'ishcr,  o^ 
Balto.,  will  carry  off  the  honors  of  the  class.  F, 
is  an  A.  B.  of  Johns  Hopkins,    '09. 

It  is  deeply  to  be  regretted  that  the  students  of 
this  department  do  not  participate  ia  the  year- 
book, Terra  Mariae.  Why  is  it?  We  hope  not 
for  the  want   of    esprit-de-corps.     Come  together 


gentlemen,  and  take  your  part  in  the  activities 
of  your  comrades.  Let  it  not  be  said  that  any- 
thing which  concerns  the  ■welfare  of  the  Alma 
Mater  is  foreign  to  the  law  department  and  its 
classes. 

There  have  been  many  distinguished  men  in 
the  University  Law  School.  David  Hoffman 
founded  the  school  in  1823  and  held  the  profess- 
orship of  law  untill  1836.  He  wrote  many  books 
and  was  noted  for  great  learning.  His  merit 
was  recognized  by  the  celebrated  University  of 
GiUtingen,  which  gave  him  its  degree  of  J.  U.  D. 
and  by  Oxford  University,  which  conferred  on 
him  that  of  LL.  D. 

Judge  George  W.  Dobbin,  who  took  his  law 
degree  under  Hoffman  in  1830,  joined  with  J. 
H.  B.  Latrobe  in  reestablishing  the  School  in 
18G9.  He  was  a  founder,  and  president  of  the 
board  of  trustees,  of  John's  Hopkins  University 
and  was  a  model  judge  and  citizen  of  great  no- 
bility of  character. 

Judge  John  A.  Inglis  was  chancellor  and  mem- 
ber of  the  Cc'urt  of  Appeals  of  South  Carolina. 
He  presided  over  the  Secession  Convention  of 
that  state  and  drafted  the  ordinance  of  Secession 
Dec.  20,  1860.  Later  he  removed  to  Balto.,  and 
hold  a  judgship  and  professorship  in  the  Law 
School  here. 

Major  Thomas  W.  Hall  was  a  gallant  Confed- 
erate soldier.  He  was  professor  of  international 
and  constitutional  law  on  which  he  was  a  high 
authority  and  was  a  forceful  editorial  writer.

The  baseball  schedule  is  the  most  ambitious 
the  University  has  ever  attempted.  Besides  the 
colleges  near  at  home,  trips  South  to  Ashland, 
Va.,  and  North  as  far  as  Burlington,  Vermont, 
on  Lake  Champlain,  have  been  made.  The  team 
started  on  its  northern  trip  on  May  7,  but  owing 
to  rain  the  games  with  the  Seaton  Hall  College, 
at  South  Orange,  N.  .J.  and  Columbia  University,

The  Editor  of  this  journal  was  greatly  honor- 
ed on  April  2-lth,  by  the  presentation  to  the 
Medical  and  Chirurgical  Faculty  of  an  oil  por- 
trait of  him  by  his  friends.  The  suggestion  em- 
anated, we  are  told,  from  Sir  William  Osier. 
The  presentation  was  made  on  behalf  of  the  do- 
nors by  Dr.  William  H.  Welch,  whose  kindly 
words  we  deeply  appreciate.  The  Editor  is  much 
touched  by  this  unexpected  testimonial  and  will 
ever  cherish  the  remembrance  of  the  occasion 
with  gratitude.  The  portrait  was  executed  by 
Dieterich,  of  this  city,  and  represents  its  sub- 
ject in  cap  and  gown,  three-quarter  length  and 
life  size.  The  artist  has  been  mdch  compliment- 
ed on  his  work  which  is  regarded  as  one  of  un- 
usual merit.

At  a  meeting  of  the  Executive  Committee  of 
the  General  Alumni  Association  held  April  19, 
the  following  resolution  was  passed: 

"That  the  Treasurer  be  instructed  to  forward 
to  all  members  (of  the  Alumni  Association)  in 
arrears,  a  bill,  together  with  a  notice  to  the  ef- 
fect that  if  such  arrears  be  not  paid  before  July 
1st,  1912,  their  names  will  be  stricken  from  the 
rolls  of  the  Association,  and  Old  Maryland  will 
be  discontinued;  and  further  that  the  Secre- 
tary be  instructed  to  forward  a  copy  of  this  res- 
olution to  the  editor  of  Old  Maryland  with 
the  request  that  he  publish  same  in  several  is- 
sues; and  further  that  the  Treasurer  advise  the 
Editor  of  Old  JIaryland  as  soon  as  the  name  of 
a  meiuber  is  removed  from  the  roll,  so  that 
such  member's  subscription   may  be  stopped   at 

once."

Dr.  Charles  F.  Nolen  is  to  be  congratulated  on 
his  success  in  founding  a  Medical  Orche^trn  in  Bal- 
timore. Their  performance  at  the  smoker  dur- 
ing the  recent  meeting  of  the  Medical  and  Chir- 
rugical  Faculty  is  pronounced  most  excellent  and 
it  took  every  one  by  surprise,  representing  as  it 
did  but  two  months  of  practice.  Besides  Dr.  N. 
we  recognize  the  following  U.  M.  men  among  the 
sixteen  taking  part:  Violins,  H.  L.  Whittle, 
Leo.  J.  Goldback ;  Trombone,  Dr.  H.  W. 
Stoner.  There  were  also  a  fine  chorus  of 
19  voices  under  Dr.  Hopkinson  and  a 
Mandolin,  Banjo  and  Guitar  Club.  This  is 
the  first  medical  orchestra  we  have  heard  of  in 
this  country.  It  is  a  good  thing  and  deserves  to 
succeed :  Apollo  was  the  God  of  Music  as  well 
as  medicine.  There  are  other  ways  in  which 
such  an  organization  might  be  useful  besides  the 
mere  social  one — by  helping  the  "Widows  and 
Orphans  Fund,"  for  instance.

The  ^?inM«i  Joint  Smoker  of  the  General  Alumni 
Association  and  the  graduates  of  the  severed  depart- 
ments of  the  University  will  be  held  Friday  even- 
ing. May  31,  at  8  P.  M.,  in  the  Hall  of  the  Med- 
ical and  Chirurgical  Faculty,  1211  Cathedral 
St.  All  who  were  present  last  year  will  remem- 
ber what  a  delightful  affair  this  was  then,  when 
upwards  of  two  hundred  alumni,  graduating 
students,  professors  and  guests  attended;  and 
the  Committee  is  exerting  every  effort  to  arrange 
an  even  more  successful  meeting  this  year. 


Governor  Goldsborough  has. accepted  an  invi- 
tation to  be  present,  subject  to  the  contingencies 
of  public  business.  Rev.  Charles  Fiske,  Rector 
of  St.  Michael  and  All  Angels'  Protestant  Epis- 
copal Church,  and  Mr.  LeRoy  Oldham,  who 
entertains  us  so  charmingly  with  Southern  songs 
and  stories,  have  promised  to  be  present;  and 
Mr.  Folger  ^IcKinsey,  the  "Bentztown  Bard", 
will  help  to  make  the  evening  enjoyable. 

There  will  be  ample  opportunity  for  social  in- 
tercourse. We  hope  our  members  vill  turn  out 
in  full  force. 

A  collation  will  be  served. 


With  this  number  the  Editor's  "Recnllect ions'" 
of  life  in  Virginia  before  the  War  and  of  that 
terrible  period  itself,  come  to  an  end.  When 
the  War  closed  we  felt,  at  least  he  felt,  that  we 
did  not  want  to  even  hear  about  it  again,  that 
we  would  like  to  blot  the  remembrance  of  it  out 
forever.  But  about  twenty  years  ago,  during  a 
severe  illness,  accompanied  by  protracted  suffer- 
ing, the  perusal  of  some  ol  i  war  letters  suggest- 
ed the  idea  that  it  would  afford  relief  and  diver- 
sion to  note  down  one's  personal  reminiscences  of 
that  period.  Interest  thus  aroused  continued, 
war  records  were  consulted  and  in  time  the  man- 
uscript grew  to  be  quite  a  volume.  Old  Mart- 
land  offered  an  opportunity  to  put  tins  into 
print,  tentatively,  at  first,  but  as  our  friends 
spoke  well  of  it,  with  more  assurance  as  we  pro- 
ceeded. There  have  been  thirty  papers,  com- 
mencing with  Vol.  II,  No.  5,  May  1906,  and 
running  irregularly  from  that  time  to  the  pres- 
ent. As  a  historical  record  it  has  no  great  value, 
but  it  gives  a  fairly  good  picture  of  the  Confede- 
rate soldier  in  camp  and  field,  with  a  variety  of 
incident  and  detail. 


The  recent  dinner  of  the  Mcdiccd  Class  of  1002, 
of  which  Dr.  Shipley  was  President,  at  the  Em- 
erson Hotel  in  this  City,  recalls  the  festive  Class 
reunions  which  marked  the  Centennial  of  the 
University  fiveyears  ago.  These  gatlierings  should 
be  kept  up — it  is  an  admirable  custom  in  every 
way,  and  the  Class  of  '02  does  itself  credit   in

setting  the  example  of  their  continued  observ. 
ance.  How  nan  one  ever  forget  those  days  when 
he  sat  upon  the  benelies,  side  by  side  with  dear 
comrades,  with  wliom  he  sliared  his  thoughts, 
his  labors,  his  hopes,  his  aspirations  ?  Can  one 
blot  out  of  remembrance  those  four  years,  in 
many  respecis  the  most  important  of  our  lives  ? 
Let  us  cherish  tlie  associations  connected  with 
them,  let  us  keep  up  the  touch  with  our  class- 
mates and  above  all  let  us  foster  and  encourage 
the  warmest  sympathy  with  all  that  concerns  the 
welfare  and  progress  of  our  beloved  University. 
Let  her  be  the  centre  around  which  our  intellec-

Biographii,  just  issued :  He  was  born  at  Port 
Penn,  Delaware,  February  14,  1813,  the  son  of 
Dr.  David  Stewart,  and  was  educated  at  New- 
castle Academy,  Delaware,  settling  in  Baltimore 
about  1S31.  He  was  a  member  of  the  state  sen- 
ate in  1840  and  on  June  8  of  that  year  represent- 
ed the  Phamacistry  of  Baltimore  in  the  founding 
of  the  Maryland  College  of  Pharmacy.  He  was 
the  first  independent  professor  of  pharmacy  in 
the  United  States,  and  lectured  at  the  University 
of  Maryland  on  that  branch  until  1847,  taking 
his  M.  D.  also  in  1814.  With  Drs.  Frick,  Theo- 
bald and  C.  Johnston,  he  founded  the  Maryland 
Medical  Institute  1847  and  was  one  of  its  corjis 
of  lecturers.  He  was  chemist  to  the  State  Agri- 
cultural Society  and  professor  of  chemistry  and 
natural  philosophy  and  Vice-President  of  St. 
•John's  College,  Annapolis,  from  1855  to  1862. 
He  removed  to  Port  Penn,  Newcastle  County, 
Delaware,  in  1862  and  died  at  that  place  Septem- 
ber 2,  1899. 

Dr.  Stewart  was  one  of  the  most  enlightened 
and  public-spirited  pharmacistsof  his  day.  To  him 
the  profession  of  Maryland  owes  the  introduction 
of  many  valuable  remedial  agents,  as  collodion, 
cod-liver  oil,  glycerine,  gutta  percha,  etc. 
Through  a  Committee  of  which  he  was  Chairman, 
the  Medical  and  Chirurgical  Faculty  has  the 
distinction  of  having  been  the  first  society  in 
America  (.June  8,  1855)  to  propose  the  substitu- 
tion of  the  decimal  system  of  weights  and 
measures  for  those  in  use  (.//.  tC  Trans,  of  Md.

The  report  of  the  "Aid  Association  of  the 
Philadelphia  County  Medical  Society,"  to  which 
Dr.  Curtin  refers  in  his  letter,  shows  that  that 
Association  was  founded  in  1878  for  the  purpose 
of  "affording  aid  to  its  members  and  their  fami- 
lies and  in  extraordinary  cases  to  other  needy 
physicians  or  their  families."  On  June  30,  1911, 
the  invested  funds  amounted  to  over  $34,000. 
Money  came  in  very  slowly  at  first,  only  $400 
having  been  collected  at  the  end  of  the  fourth 
year,  but  in  the  fiscal  year  preceding  the  above 
date,  nearly  15,000  were  added. 

"The  Fund  for  the  Relief  of  Widows  and  Or- 
phans" of  the  Medical  and  Chirurgical  Faculty 
of  Maryland,  was  foundeJ  in  1903  and  now,  after 
nine  years,  amovmts  to  |2,736,  not  a  wholly  bad 
showing,  although  it  might  have  been  much  bet- 


ter if  the  doctors  had  helped  it,as  they  should  and 
as  it  deserves. 

Our  "Home" — the  corporate  title  of  which  is 
"Home  for  Widows  and  Orphans  of  Physicians 
Incorporated" — is  entirely  independent  of  the 
Faculty,  and  although  chartered  by  the  State  of 
Maryland  is  open  to  the  widows  and  orphans  of 
any  reputable  physician.  It  is  dependent  entirely 
upon  the  gifts  and  subscriptions  of  members  of 
the  medical  profession  and  the  charitable  public 
and  such  entertainments  as  its  managers  get  up 
for  its  support.  It  is  pleasant  to  learn  that  this 
charity,  which  is  the  first  of  its  kind  in  the 
world — so  far  as  we  can  learn — is  to  be  imitated 
by  the  Philadelphia  doctors. 


We  know  nothing  oUh e  trouble  at  St.  John^svi-h\ch 
have  led  to  the  resignations  of  five  members  of 
the  Faculty,  further  than  what  has  been  publish- 
ed in  the  Sun  and  Collegian.  But  as  the  academic 
department  of  the  University,  there  is  nothing 
that  concerns  the  welfare  of  St.  John's  that  does 
not  deeply  appeal  to  us  and  we  regret  more  than 
words  can  express  the  necessity  that  seems  to 
have  impelled  these  gentlemen  to  withdraw  from 
the  institution. 

The  alleged  cause  of  their  action  is  that  ath- 
letics predominates  unduly  in  the  life  of  the  stu- 
dents, to  the  detriment  of  scholarship  and  disci- 
pline. If  it  be  true,  that  athletics  has  taken 
such  hold  upon  the  students,  as  to  have  relegated 
academic  training  to  a  secondary  position,  then 
there  can  be  no  doubt  the  posi  ion  of  these  gen- 
tlemen is  well  taken.  Youthful  enthusiasm  in 
this  direction  is  apt  logo  to  extremes  and  must  be 
held  in  check  h5f  older  heads.  To  think  of  noth- 
ing else,  to  talk  of  nothing  else,  to  have  athletics 
for  breakfast,  dinner,  and  supper  and  even  for 
one's  dreams,  to  make  it  the  chief  object  of  stu- 
dent life,  is  not  a  healthful  or  hopeful  frame  of 
mind  for  those  engaged  in  the  all-important  busi- 
ness of  mental  training  for  the  streimous  de- 
mands of  modern  life.  It  is  only  when  the  stu- 
dent has  met  all  just  demands  of  scholarship 
that  it  is  safe  or  proper  for  him  to  indulge  in 
sport  and  the  same  may  be  said  of  military  train- 
ing,   so   prominent    a  feature  of  St.  John's.     It

seems  to  be  beyond  the  power  of  human  endur- 
ance for  these  young  men  to  maintain  the  lead 
ill  all  three  department?  and  many  of  the  best 
friends  of  the  institution  think  the  attempt  is  futil^ 
and  that  tlie  work  must  be  curtailed.  We  feel 
sure  that  all  who  have  the  welfare  of  St.  John's 
truly  at  heart  will,  upon  dae  reflection,  see  the 
absolute  necessity  of  placing  scholarship  first,  of 
maintaining  a  standard  of  intellectual  attain- 
ment which  shall  enable  the  graduates  of  St. 
John's  to  compete  with  those  of  the  best  colleges 
of  similar  grade  in  the  country. 


The  interest  in  the  great  dentist,  CTiapin  A. 
Harris,  who  rendered  Baltimore  forever  famous 
in  dental  annals  by  his  writings  and  achieve- 
ments, is  so  great  at  this  time,  in  view  of  the 
movement  to  erect  over  his  remains  in  this  city 
a  suitable  monument,  that  we  reproduce  the 
sketch  of  l.im  in  Kelly's  Cyclopedia.  Itis  highly 
desirable  that  we  should  have  a  critical  estimate 
of  his  work  and  writings  by  a  competent  dentist, 
particularly  as  to  his  original  contributions  to  den- 
tal science  and  art:  Chapin  Aaron  Harris  was 
born  at  Pompey,  OnondngaCo.,  N.  Y.,  May  6, 
1806,  the  son  of  John  and  Elizai^eth  Bruudage 
Harris,  natives  of  England.  When  about  17, 
he  moved  to  Madison,  Ohio,  and  studied  under 
his  brother  John,  who  was  practicing  medicine 
there.  Af;er  pursuing  the  course  of  study  pre- 
scribed by  law,  he  was  examined  by  the  Board 
of  Medical  Censors  of  Ohio,  and  was  licensed  to 
practice.  lie  commenced  practice  at  Greenfield, 
Highland  County,  Ohio,  and  continued  there 
some  years,  when  his  attention  was  called  to  the 
possibilities  of  dentistry  Ijy  his  brother  John, 
who  had  taken  it  up  in  1827.

In  1S33,  after  the  study  and  practice  of 
dentistry,  Chapin  settled  in  Baltimore  and  dur- 
ing the  next  two  years  contributed  to  the  pages  of 
medical  and  periodical  literature. 

He  published  his  first  book  in  1839;  it  was 
entitled  "The  Dental  Art,  a  Practical  Treatise  on 
Dental  Surgery,"  and  went  through  thirteen 
editions.  Many  thousand  copies  of  this  book, 
probably  the  most  popular  on  dental  work  ever 
published,  were  sold.  Next  came  his  "Diction- 
ary of  Dental  Science,"  a  dictionary  of  dental 
science,  biography,  bibliography  and  medical 
terminology,  1849  (five  editions),  the  later  edi- 
tions also  edited  by  Dr.  Gorgas.  In  1816  he  re- 
vised with  numerous  editions,  Joseph  Fox's 
"Diseases  of  the  Human  Teeth,  their  Natural 
History  and  Functions  with  Mode  of  Applying 
Artificial  Teeth,  etc."  He  also  translated  for 
the  American  Journnl  of  Dental  Science,  the  works 
of  a  number  of  French  authors. 

He  was  a  laborious  and  untiring  worker,  writ- 
ing far  into  the  morning  after  days  of  ceaseless 
labor  and  fatigue,  and  keeping  this  up  to  the  end 
of  his  life.  For  the  preservation  and  extension 
of  the  experience  of  dentists,  he  interested  some 
of  his  New  York  brethren,  and  with  their  aid 
founded  The  American  Journal  of  Dental  Science. 
In  the  need  for  educational  advantages  for  den- 
tists, they  joined  him  in  a  petition  to  the  author- 
ities of  the  University  of  Maryland  to  found  a 
dental  department.  This  effort  failing,  together 
with  a  similar  one  in  one  of  the  New  York  medi- 
cal colleges,  they  determined  upon  independent 
action  and  during  1839-10,  secured  signatures  of 
citizens  to  the  Legislature  of  Maryland,  for  tlie 
incorporation  of  a  College  of  Dental  Surgeiy  in 
Baltimore.  The  charter  was  granted  February 
1,  1840.  Dr.  Harris  received  several  honorary 
degrees:  M.  A.  from  the  University  of  Mary- 
land, M.  D.  from  Washington  Medical  College, 
Baltimore,  1838,  D.  D.  S.  from  Philadelphia 
Dental  College,  1854.  The  Harris  Dental  Asso- 
ciation of  Lancaster,  Pa.,  founded  in  1867,  was 
named  in  his  honor.  He  was  a  diligent  reader 
and  student  and  collected  a  large  and  valuable 
private  library. 

He  was  remarkably  handsome,  being  6ft.,  2i 
inches  in  height,  and  finely  proportioned,  with 
hazel  eyes  and  a  most  benevolent  expression. 

His  death  occurred  on  Sept.  29,  1860,  after  an 
illness  of  eight  months  from  an  obscure  disease 
of  the  liver.

LIBRARY  OF  A  COLONIAL  PHYSICIAN. 

By  Eugene  F.  Cordell,  M.  D. 

Read  before  the  Book  and  Journal  Club  of  the  Medical  and 

Chirurgieal  Facility  of  Maryland,  Baltimore. 

I  have  been  asked  to  make  some  remarks  upon 
this  collection  of  books,  which  formed  part  of 
the  Library  of  Dr.  Upton  Scott,  of  Annapolis, 
first  President  of  the  Faculty.  It  has  been  lately 
presented  to  us  by  Dr.  Ciotworthy  Birnie,  of 
Tanpytown,  M-1.,  a  descendant  of  Dr.  Scott's 
sister,  Dr.  Scott  himself  having  no  direct  descen- 
dants. 

I  may  say  in  pissing  that  Dr.  Scott  was  a  na- 
tive of  North  Ireland,  being  born  at  Templepat- 
rick,  near  Belfast,  in  1722;  that  he  served  in  early 
life  as  Surgeon's  Mate  in  the  British  Army  and 
graduated  ]\I.  D.  at  Glasgow   University  in  1753.

In  the  same  year  he  came  over  with  the  Colonial 
Governor,  Horatio  Sharpe,  and  was  thenceforth 
prominent  in  the  official  circles  of  the  province 
up  to  the  time  of  his  death  in  1814,  except  dur- 
ing the  period  of  the  Revolutionary  War,  when 
he  espoused  the  cause  of  the  mother  country  and 
returned  to  England. 

There  are  altogether  114  volumes  varying  in 
size  from  duodecimo  t)  ponderous  folio  and  dat- 
ing from  1681  to  1802.  With  the  exception  of 
three  volumes  of  the  17th  and  one  of  the  19th 
centuries  all  were  published  within  the  18th  cen- 
tury and  the  majority  within  the  third  quarter 
of  that  century.  I  imagine  that  the  collection 
formed  but  a  small  part  of  Dr.  Scott's  library  as 
he  was  a  man  of  means  and  culture  and  his  let- 
ters show  that  he  frequently  ordered  books 
through  his  agent  in  London. 

I  may  dismiss  at  once  from  consideration  cer- 
tain non  medical  works,  as  Beza's  "Novum 
Testamentura,"  1702,  Maupertius'  "Venus 
Physique,"  1745,  Blair's  "Chronology  and  His- 
tory of  the  World,"  1751,  a  Greek  Bible  without 
date,  Xenophon's  "Commentaries  on  Socrates" 
(in  Greek),  1761,  a  work  on  Agriculture,  1792,  a 
botanical  work  of  Linnaeus,  1787, anil  the  Poems 
of  Os.<ian,  1802. 

The  oldest  books  of  tjie  collection  are  upon 
chemistry  and  ol)stetrics,  bfith  bearing  date  1681. 

"Ccjurs  de  Chymic,"  Par  Nicolas  Lemery,  4th 
Ed.,  Paris,  1681.  Lemery,  1645^1715,  who  calls 
himself  "Apoticaire  dn  Roy,"  was  a  Oalvinist, 
who  in  the  perseculions,  renounced  his  religion  in 
order  to  retain  his  position.  He  was  an  author- 
ity on  chemistry  and  iiharmacy  and  this  work 
wa^  the  favorite  te.Kt-book  of  its  time,  going 
tin'ough  no  less  tli:ui  twenty-three  editions.  He 
also  wrote  a  "Univer.~;d  Phaimacopoeia,"  a 
"Dictionary  of  Drugs"  and  a  "Treatise  on  An- 
timony." This  work  is  dedicated  to  the  "Dean 
and  Doctor-Regents  of  the  Faculty  of  Medicine," 
and  he  courts  the  favor  of  these  patrons  by  tell- 
ing them  that  "nature  has  no  secrets  which  are 
unknown  to  them."  He  divides  his  subject  into 
four  sections,  1  General,  2  Minerals,  3  Vegetables, 
4  Animals.  There  is  an  interesting  chapter  on 
"Quinquina  or  Kina-Kina,  a  bark  brought  to  us 
some  years  ago,  from  Peron — the  Spauiarils  call 
it  'Palo  de  Calenturas,'  tliat  is  to  say,  the  wood  of 
fevers."  He  says  it  is  the  most  certain  means 
gf  checking  "the  ferment  of  intermittent  fevers, '  •

and  he  explains  its  action  by  comparing  it  to  the 
effect  of  an  alkali  upon  an  acid  salt.  He  de- 
scribes a  tincture  and  a  dry  extract.  This  is  a 
small  bulky  octavo  of  580  pages,  and  contains  in 
the  back  several  pages  of  manuscript  notes  in 
antiquated  French. 

"Traite  des  Maladies  des  Femmes  Grosses," 
3rd  Edition,  1681.  This,  Mauriceau's  great 
work,  was  the  first  upon  this  subject  which  was 
based  on  the  personal  experience  and  observation 
of  its  author,  obstetrics  being  up  to  that  time 
exclusivly  in  the  hands  of  women.  It  went 
through  seven  editions  and  was  translated  into 
many  languages.  It  contains  a  portrait  of  Mauri- 
ceau,  a  handsome  face,  with  a  mother  surround- 
ed by  her  children  and  pointing  to  him  with  an 
expression  of  confidence  and  gratitude.  As  en- 
lightened as  Mauriceau  was,  he  failed  to  appre- 
ciate the  value  of  the  forceps  and  kept  back  for 
many  years  their  introduction  into  France.  "A 
work  very  useful  to  surgeons  and  necessary  to  all 
the  mid  wives." 

"Memoirs  for  the  Natural  History  of  Humane 
Blood,  especially  the  Spirit  of  that  Liquor," 
London  1683-4.  By  the  Hon.  Robert  Boyle. 
Boyle,  1626-91,  was  a  learned  layman  and  dis- 
ciple of  Bacon,  whose  methods  he  adopted  in 
physiological  research,  acquiring  great  fame  as 
an  experimental  philosopher  and  physicist.  Says 
Boerhaave  of  him:  "To  him  we  owe  the  secrets 
of  fire,  air,  water,  animals,  vegetables,  fossils, 
so  that  from  his  works  may  be  deduced  the 
whole  system  of  natural  knowledge." 

"The  Practice  of  Medicine,"  by  George  Bag- 
livi,  Professor  of  Medicine  in  the  University  of 
Rome.  This  was  the  chief  work  of  the  gifted 
author,  who  was  called  '  'the  Sydenham  of  Italy, ' ' 
and  who  died  in  1707,  three  years  after  its  pub- 
,  lication,  at  the  early  age  of  38.  He  recommends 
and  enforces  the  necessity  of  imitating  nature  and 
experience  and  exposes  the  vanity  of  hypotheses 
and  systems.  "The  only  inducement  I  had," 
he  say.-^,  "in  undertaking  this  task,  was  the  love 
of  truth  and  a  desire  to  promote  the  public 
g)od."  He  was  evidently  a  man  of  independ- 
ent character  and  vigorous  intellect. 

I  pass  over  "Medicina  Gymnastica,"  by  Fran- 
cis Fuller,  London,  1705,  and  come  next  to  the 
"Institutiones  Medicales"  of  the  great  Boerhaave, 
a  small  octavo  volume  printed  at  Leyden  in  1713. 
As  we  would  suppose,  there  are  several  of  Boer- 


haave's  works  in  the  collection,  the  others  be- 
ing his  "Academic  Lectures  on  Physic,"  Trans- 
lation, London,  Vol.  1-6,  1742-6,  and  his 
"Aphorisms  concerning  the  Knowledge  and  Cure 
of  Diseases,"  Latin,  6th  Edition,  Elinburgh, 
1744.  No  physician  of  the  18th  Century  enjoy- 
ed so  great  a  fame  as  Boerhaave.  Destined  for 
the  ministry,  his  adoption  of  a  medical  career  is 
i-aid  to  have  been  the  result  of  the  intolerance 
with  which  a  defence  on  his  part  of  the  reachings 
of  the  philosopher  Spinoza  was  received.  He 
leotarel  upon  B)bany,  Chemistry  an  1  Medicine 
and  his  fam3  dre.v  stiileats  from  the  remotest 
pirts  of  the  world  to  the  Datch  town  of  L:\yden. 
His  most  celebrated  works  are  the  Institutions 
and  Aphorism?  ani  an  immense  number  of 
elitions  and  translation?  of  these  were  published. 
He  wrote  also  a  great  work  on  Chemistry,  two 
vols.  4to.,  1731.  The  demands  upon  his  time 
were  such  that  it  was  only  by  the  greatest  system 
and  by  beginning  at  daylight  that  he  was  able  to 
satisfy  his  clienbcMe.  He  died  from  heart  disease 
and  dropsy  succeeding  a  long  series  of  attacks  of 
gout.  His  monument  ere.ited  by  the  town  of 
Leyden,  bears  the  inscription  '  Salutifero  Boer- 
haavii  genio  Sacrum"  and  his  motto  "simplex 
sigillum  veri." 

Among  the  exact  observers  of  these  early 
days  of  theoretical  medicine,  was  one  Sanctori- 
us,  who  lecture  1  for  a  time  at  the  University  of 
Palua  and  pi-actl;el  later  at  Venice.  For  thirty 
years,  this  individual  canlucted  experiments 
upon  himself  by  maans  of  scales  or  balances, 
keeping  accurate  and  minute  records  of  his 
weight  at  different  times  of  the  day  and  with  ref- 
erence to  e.N:erclse,  food,  sleep,  etc.  These  ob- 
servations, which  are  among  the  most  comijlete 
and  laborious  ever  undertaken,  were  embodied  in 
a  work  entitled'  'Medica  Sfcatlca"or"Ap!iorisms." 
We  have  hare  a  translation  of  the  second  edition 
of  it,  by  John  Qulncy,  M.  D.,  London,  1720, 
"Pondere,  mensura  etnuniero  Deus  fecit  omnia." 
The  author  lays  great  stress  upon  the  "insensible 
perspiration",  which  had  been  little  attended  to 
before  his  time.  Under  this  term  he  included 
not  only  that  passing  off  by  the  skin  Imt  also 
that  by  the  breath,  which  he  found  to  be  one-

half  pound  a  clay,  as  was  shown  by  breathing  on 
a  glass.  He  was  able  to  prove  that  insensible 
perspiration  alone  discharges  much  more  than  all 
the  sensible  evacuations  together  (Aphorism  IV)  > 
the  exact  proportion  being  as  5  to  3.  He  is  also 
said  to  have  described  the  thermometer. 

Passing  over  three  works  of  little  importance, 
we  come  to  one  by  Hendrik  von  Deventer,  M. 
D.,  1651-1721.  Deventer  was  a  native  of  Hague 
and  a  follower  of  Labadie,  the  founder  of  a  re- 
ligious sect  of  reformers.  He  first  settled  in  Co- 
penhagen, where  he  acquired  celebrity  as  an  ortho- 
paedic surgeon.  Later  he  returned  to  Holland, 
and  obtained  a  medical  degree  at  Groningen  in 
1694.  He  founled  an  Orthopaedic  Institute  at 
Voorburg,  and  was  the  first  scientific  orthopedist 
in  his  native  country,  atti'acting  patients  from 
far  and  wide.  He  also  practiced  obstetrics,  and 
his  wife  being  a  mirlwife,  he  was  enabled  thus  to 
procure  an  unusual  experience  in  this  branch. 

He  was  the  first  to  give  a  clear  and  compi-e' 
hcnsive  description  of  the  pelvis.  This  work, 
published  first  at  Leyden  in  1701  in  Dutch,  stood 
second  only  to  that  of  Mauiiccau.  It  contains 
a  fine  engraving  of  the  author  and  his  motto, 
"Manet  post  Funera  Verutu."

Editions  of  1730  and  1745.  Sluiw  was  Court 
Physician  to  both  George  II  and  George  III. 
His  work  was  modeled  after  Sydenham's  "Pio- 
cessus  Integri"  and  went  through  several  edi- 
tions. He  aleo  translated  the  works  of  Hoffman, 
Stahl,  Boerhaave,  Lord  Bacon  and  Boyle.  He 
died  in  1763. 

"Philosophical  Transactions  and  Collections," 
Abridged,  4th  Edition,  1731,  4to.  illustrated, 
contains  remarkable  cases,  discoveries  and  events 
up  to  the  year  1700.  It  is  full  of  interest,  For 
instance,  at  p.  114,  ipecac  is  recommended  as 
an  infallible  medicine  for  curing  dysenteries  and

ed is  20  grains  or  more  and  directions  are  given 
for  15  days  treatment.  At  p.  151  is  an  account 
of  a  vesical  calculus  at  La  Charite  Hospital, 
Paris,  weighing  above  51  ounces,  cut  from  one  of 
the  religious  brothers  in  .June  1690.     The  patient

died  in  the  operation.  At  p.  226  a  method  of 
transfusing  blood  is  described.  At  page  601  there 
is  a  description  of  Maryland  by  a  Mr.  Hugh 
Jones,  who  says  "Tobacco  is  our  meat,  drink. 
clothing  and  monies." 

"Siphilis,  a  Practical  Dissertation  on  the  Vene- 
real Disease,"  4th  Edition,  By  Daniel  Turner, 
of  the  College  of  Physicians  in  London,  London, 
1732.  Dedicated  to  tlie  "Worthy  Practitioners 
of  the  Noble  Art  of  Chirurgery  in  the  City  of 
London."  The  frontispiece  contains  the  au- 
thor's portrait  and  the  words  '  'Nullius  in  Verba." 
The  work  seems  to  justify  this  motto,  since  it 
contains  more  original  matter  than  one  finds  in 
such  works  at  that  period.  He  gives,  for  exam- 
ple, the  histories  of  a  large  number  of  cases  illus- 
trating various  phases  of  the  disease,  which  had 
come  under  his  care.  He  says  in  his  preface, 
that  he  has  "put  the  last  Hand"  on  the  work, 
and  makes  a  fling  at  those  writers  who  have 
drawn  their  material  from  foreigners.  This 
Daniel  Turner  is  the  same  who  applied  to  Yale 
College  for  a  degree,  and  was  granted  the  hon- 
orary degree  of  M.  D.  in  1723,  the  first  bestowal 
of  it  in  America.  The  application  is  said  to 
I  lave  been  accompanied  with  a  donation  of  28 
volumes  of  medical  works,  some  of  them  of  his 
own  composition,  and  this  circumstance  led  some 
wit  of  the  time  to  say  that  the  letters  meant 
■'Mullum  Donavit."  He  was  the  author  also  of 
works  on  Skin  Di^ease  and  Surgery.  It  is  rather 
remarkable  that  in  this  work  he  does  not  use  his 
honorary  title. 

"Summary  View  of  the  whole  Practice  of

theology  at  Cambridge,  and  in  1710  wasappointed 
rector  in  Middlesex.  He  applied  his  leisure  to 
physical  experiments  and  in  1727  pablislied  his

ogy, of  which  Haller  said:  "Eximium  opus

drostatic  experiments  on  the  blood  and  blood  ves- 
sels of  animals.  He  pursues  a  strict  physical 
method  in  these  experiments,  showing  among 
other  things  that  injection  of  water  into  the  vas- 
cular system  will  cause  dropsy.  He  died  in  1761, 
having  been  meanwhile  made  Doctor  of  Theology 
by  Cambridge  and  Foreign  member  by  the  French 
Academy.  Another  work  in  the  collection — "A 
Treatise  on  Ventilators" — is  by  the  same  author, 
and  bears  the  inscription:  "To  Dr.  Upton  Scott, 
a  Present  from  the  Learned  and  Reverend  Stephen 
Hales,  D.  D.,  By  the  Hands  of  His  most  obe- 
dient humble  servant  Thos.  Bacon,  14 
Sept.  1759." 

A  work  by  .John  Armstrong  on  the  Venereal 
Disease,"  1737,  is  nothing  more  than  an  ab- 
stract of  Boerhaave's  on  the  same  subject,  who 
in  turn  took  his  from  the  famous  "Venetian 
Collection."  Armstrong  was  more  successful  in 
literature  than  in  medicine,  and  after  some  years 
withdrew  entirely  from  the  latter.  In  1741  he 
wrote  a  poem  in  four  parts  entitled  "The  Art  of 
Preserving  Health,"  which  established  his  repu- 
tation as  a  poet. 

Henri  Francois  Le  Dran,  a  celebrated  French 
surgeon,  was  born  1685,  and  founded  an  anatom- 
ical school  at  La  Charite.  There  are  three  of  his 
works  in  the  collection,  viz:  1,  "Observations in 
Surgery,"  1739;  2,  "Gunshot  Wounds,"  1743; 
3,  "Consultations  on  the  Disorders  of  Surgei-y," 
1766.  The  last  contains  115  cases  with  directions 
s  to  treatiiieiit.     In  the  preface,  he  says:  "This 


istheGthand  last  work  that  I  have  published  and 
I  think  I  have  now  performed  my  errand  in  this 
world. "  The  great  physiologist  Haller  was  a  pu- 
pil of  Le  Dran. 

Samuel  Sharp,  of  Guy's,  was  one  of  the  most 
original  surgeons  of  his  century,  improving 
greatly  instruments  and  methods.  His  "Treat- 
ise on  the  Operations  of  Surgery"  went  through 
10  editions  at  least.  We  have  here  the  3rd  edi- 
tion, 17-10,  and  also  his  "Critical  Enquiry  into 
the  Pre.sent  State  of  Surgery,"  2d  Ed.,  1750. 

The  next  work  is  a  "Treatise  on  Diseases  of 
the  Eyes,"  by  St.  Yves,  1741.  This  celebrated 
oculist  had  been  dead  five  years  when  this  edi- 
tion of  his  great  treatise  appeared.  He  began 
the  study  of  surgery  at  the  College  of  Surgeons  in 
Paris,  at  the  age  of  19  and  continued  there  for 
25  years  engaged  itj  the  special  study  of  the  eye. 
In  1707  he  extracted  his  first  cataract,  but  in  the 
following  year  operated  517  times.  In  1711  he 
erected  a  private  institution  for  the  care  of  pa- 
tients affected  with  eye  diseases.  The  first  edi- 
tion of  his  work  appeared  in  1722.

DEATH  OF  THE  PROVOST. 

Mr.  Bernard  Carter,  7th  Pi-ovost  of  the  Uni- 
versity, died  suddenly  of  heart  failure,  at  Xar- 
rngan=ett  Pier,  R.  I.,  on  the  morning  of  June 
13.  He  liad  just  arrived  there  the  previous 
day  from  Baltimore  intending  to  spend  the  sum- 
mer with  members  of  his  family. 

Mr.  Carter  had  been  in  good  health  until  last 
January  when  he  had  a  severe  attack  of  the 
grippe  which  left  him  an  invalid;  since  that 
time  he  had  not  been  able  to  attend  to  hi.s  busi- 
ness. But  he  had  improved  so  that  he  expected 
to  resume  his  duties  after  his  vacation  and  his 
death  was  entirely  unexpected. 

Mr.  Carter  was  a  native  of  Prince  George 
County,  Md.,  his  father  being  Charles  H.  Car- 
ter, a  descen  lent  of  "King"  Carter,  of  Sliirley, 
on  the  James  River.  Through  his  mother  he 
was  descended  from  Light- Horse  Harry  Lee,  a 
distinguished  officer  of  the  Revolution  and  father 
of  C4eneral  Robert  E.  Lee,  and  also  from  Charles 
the  Sixth  Lord  Baltimore.  He  was  born  on  the 
20tli  of  July,  183i  and  was  therefore  in  his  78th 
year  at  the  time  of  his  death.  His  education 
was  obtained  at  St.  .James  College,  in  Washing- 
ton County,  Md.,  and  at  Harvard  Universiiy, 
from  which  he  received  the  degree  of  Bachelor 
of  Law  in  1855.  Admitted  to  the  bar  of  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  in  1865,  he 
at  once  secured  recognition  for  ability  by  his  ar- 
gument cm  the  case  of  the  steariier  "Louisiana" 
(given  in  "Wallace's  Reports").  In  1867  he 
was  a  member  of  the  Constitutional  Convention 
which  framed  the  present  constitution  of  the 
State  and  was  appointed  on  the  Committee  of 
Revision  and  Compilation,  the  liighe.-t  com|ih- 
ment  the  Convention  could  bestow.  In  1809 
and  1870  he  was  a  memljer  of  the  City  Council 
and  it  was  chietly  through  his  personal  exertions 
as  Chairman  of  the  building  Committee  that  the 


new  City  Hall  was  constructed  so  economically. 
He  was  also  City  Solicitor  under  several  Jlayors 
from  1883  to  1889.  In  1878  he  was  elected  to  a 
chair  in  the  School  of  Law,  which  he  held  for 
five  years. 

In  politics  he  was  always  a  Democrat  and  in 
the  councils  of  that  party  he  wielded  a  great  in- 
fluence. He  enjoyed  a  large  and  lucrative  prac- 
tice, the  result  of  fine  talents  well  improved,  of 
great  industry  and  of  a  private  character  above 
reproach.  For  many  years  he  was  chief  counsel 
of  the  Pennsylvania  system  of  railroads  and  he 
was  also  the  counsel  of  the  Chesapeake  Telephone 
Company  He  was  always  an  indefatigable 
student  of  his  profession,  preparing  his  cases 
with  great  care  and  thoroughness.  His  activity 
was  incessant  and  his  capacity  for  work  enor- 
mous. Since  the  death  of  his  predecessor  in  the 
Provostship,  Mr.  S.  Teackle  Wallace,  he  was  the 
acknowledged  head  of  the  bar  of  the  State. 

His  tastes  were  simple.  He  cared  nothing  for 
club  life,  preferring  the  companionship  of  his 
family,  his  friends  and  his  books.  Surrounded 
by  these  he  passed  his  leisure  at  his  beautiful 
home  on  Eutaw  Place. 

He  was  a  man  of  striking  appearance,  erect 
of  carriage,  quick  of  step,  over  six  feet  in  height 
and  noted  for  his  courtly  and  gracious  manners. 
As  a  speaker,  he  was  fluent  and  graceful,  with  a 
distinct,  agreeable  and  well-modulated  voice  and 
a  dignified  and  impresive  manner.  He  was  se- 
rious minded,  not    given  to  lightness  or  humor. 

In  religion  he  was  a  devout  Episcopalian,  a 
member  of  the  vestry  of  St.  Paul's  Church,  and 
often  taking  a  leading  part  in  the  church's  eon- 
vocations  and  conventions;  he  was  considered 
the  leading  ecclesiastical  lawyer  of  the  State. 

Mr.  Carter  left  nine  smus  and  daughters,  sev- 
eral of  tlio  former  being  associated  with  him  in 
the   practice    of  law.     He    held  the  hon.  LL.D.

REMARKS  OF  REV.  CHARLES  FISKE, 
RECTOR  OF  ST.  MtCHAEL  AND  ALL 
ANGELS'  P.  E.  CHURCH,  AT  THE 
ALUMNI  REUNION  MAY  31. 

Mr.  Fiske  spoke  on  "The  Duty  of  the  College 
Bred  man  to  the  Community."  He  pointed  out 
the  fact  that  the  student  in  college  and  university, 
whether  he  be  rich  or  poor,  never  pays  for  the 
education  he  receives.  The  state  arid  private 
benefactors  educate,  in  large  part,  the  college 
men  of  today.  No  university  could  survive  if  it 
depen  led  only  on  the  fees  of  its  students.  Build- 
ings and  endowments,  given  by  public  spirited 
men,  make  it  possible  to  give  an  education  at  far 
less  than  cost. 

Now  wdiy  have  such  men  given  so  generously 
to  our  educational  institutions?  Why  does  the 
state  appropriate  money  for  the  support  of  many 
of  them?  On  what  ground  could  your  sister 
university,  the  Johns  Hopkins,  appeal  for  a  mil- 
lion dollar  building  fund?  Why  have  men  given 
to  your  own  alma  mater? 

I  take  it,  that  they  gave  simply  because  they 
were  men  of  public  spirit  who  loved  the  com- 
munity and  expected  the  community  to  receive 
from  educated  men  a  return  upon  the  invest- 
ment. At  any  rate,  whether  in  the  case  of  indi- 
vidual giving  that  motive  has  ever  been  obscured, it 
is  unquestionably  the  only  motive  that  justifies 
state  aid  and  support;  it  is  the  one  and  only 
motive  for  the  support  of  our  public  school 
system. 

Make  no  mistake  about  it.  The  city,  the  state, 
the  nation  can  say  to  each  of  you  gentlemen: 
"You  start  life  in  debt;  you  owe  something  to 
the  community."  The  city,  the  state,  the  na- 
tion looks  and  has  a  right  to  look  to  you  and  to 
me  and  to  all  educated  men  for  the  payment  of 
that  debt.  From  the  educated  man,  if  from  any 
one,    the   community    may  demand  high  stand- 


ards, splendid  ideals,  large  p'ofessional  service. 
Of  us,  if  on  no  other  than  this  lower  ground  of 
a  plain  business  return  for  a  gift,  the  community 
may  a=k  public  spirited  activity  and  service.  I 
might  go  on  to  speak  of  a  higher  claim  upon  us, 
the  claim  of  noblesse  oblige,  the  doctrine  that 
of  those  to  whom  much  has  been  given  much 
may  be  demanded;  but  for  the  present  I  rest 
the  expectation  on  the  basis  of  a  business  prop- 
osition. 

And  yet  what  actually  happens?  Who  are  the 
people  who  stay  away  from  the  primaries  and 
the  polls,  if  not  the  men  of  education  and  cul- 
ture? Who  are  the  men  who  wash  their  hands 
of  public  responsibility,  if  not  the  men  of  the 
very  class  we  represent? 

I  am  no  pessimist,  and  I  see  abundant  signs 
that  things  are  changing.  I  believe  for  exam- 
ple, that  the  rapid  progress  of  new  political 
ideals  in  the  West  is  due  largely  to  the  influence 
of  western  universities  and  university  men;  and 
I  see  in  the  new  interest  that  the  young  men  of 
the  country  are  taking  in  economics  and  politics 
the  first  light  of  the  dawn  of  a  new  political 
era.  Only,  I  want  you  men  to  have  your  part 
and  place  in  the  movement.  I  want  from  old 
Maryland  more  men  of  the  kind  we  are  proud 
to  have  received  from  another  university,  "men 
of  the  John  Finney  type." 

We  are  moving  rapidly  towards  a  more  popu- 
lar form  of  government  in  this  country,  or  at 
least  towards  a  more  free  expression  of  popular 
opinion.  In  such  a  crisis  we  are  especially  in 
need  of  enlightened  and  conscientious  leader- 
ship. Where,  unless  it  be  in  Christian  churches, 
have  we  a  better  right  to  look  for  such  leader- 
ship than  among  the  men  of  our  colleges 
anil  universities?  Remember:  you  have  not 
been  educated  because  the  state  or  the  public 
benefactor  cared  for  you  in  particular,  but  be- 
cause iionr  education  was  expected  to  aid  in  the 
uplift  of  the  community.  Remember  that  the 
note  of  commencement  month  should  be  the 
note  of  service.  By  reason  of  your  social  and 
intellectual  advantages,  your  scholarly  training, 
your  better  knowledge  of  the  forces  of  natui'e 
and  the  forces  of  human  life,  you  must  be  leaders 
among  men,  making  society  better  and  purer  by 
your  presence,  making  business  more  honest  and 
decent,  making  politics  cleaner  and  more  un- 
selfish.

And  remember:  we  have  a  responsibility  for 
service  that  is  positive;  not  criticism,  but  ac- 
tion. It  has  been  said  that  the  chief  defect  of 
higher  education  is  a  tendency  to  arouse  unduly 
the  critical  spirit,  manifesting  itself  in  a  censo- 
riousnessand  dissatisfaction  with  things  in  gen- 
eral, coupled  often  with  a  disinclination  for 
action.  We  criticize,  but  do  nothing  practical; 
we  are  barren  of  lasting  achievement  in  remedy- 
ing things  we  deplore. 

After  all,  the  city,  the  state,  the  nation  is  just 
ourselves — you  and  I  and  thousands  of  others 
like  us.  If  any  thing  needs  to  be  done,  one  of 
us  must  start  to  do  it;  it  cannot  be  left  to  some 
general  body  of  which  we  complain  when  we 
vaguely  feel  it  is  not  doing  its  duiy.  We  need  in- 
dividual righteousness  before  we  can  have 
state  righteousness.  The  state  will  do  its 
duty  only  when  you  and  I,  as  individuals,  begin 
to  do  ours.  If  you  and  I,  who  by  reason  of  bet- 
ter opportunity  are  fitted  for  leadership,  leave 
the  wheel  in  other  hands,  we  cannot  complain  at 
the  course  over  which  we  are  driven.  It  is  be- 
cause men  have  hoped  to  find  in  us  leaderships 
in  the  social,  the  economic,  the  intellectual  and 
political  life  of  the  community,  that  they  have 
given  of  their  means  to  strengthen  the  institu- 
tions which  have  trained  us.  Are  we  not  the 
most  dishonorable  of  debtors  if  we  sit  about  ex- 
pecting the  claim  upon  us  some  day  to  be  out- 
lawed ?

THE  MEASURE  OF  A  MAN. 
Remarks  Made  By  Rev.  Lynn  Haeold   Hough 
OF  Mt.  Vernon  Place  M.  E.  CiitmcH,  at 
Medical  Alumni  Ban'Juet,  June  1. 
One  afternoon  in  the  Polo    Grounds   in    New 
York  I  watched  Piuhe  Marquard  perform  on  the 
pitcher's  mound.     The  Giants  were  playing  the 
Pirates  and  the  Pirates  were  being  defeated.     As 
I  watched  Marcpiard,  who  had  ceased  to  be  a  big 
league  failure,  and  had  became  a  great  asset  of  a 
big  League,  one  way  in  which  to  measure  a  man 
was  brought  home  to  me.     That  is  by  his  physi- 
cal vigor   and    efficiency.     I   am    not   forgetting 
that  a  great  deal  of  the  world's    work    has    leen 
done  by  the   invalids  of  the    world.     I  am    not

forgetting  that  Spencer's  Synthetic  Philosophy 
was  the  contribution  of  a  man  who  never  could 
sleep  of  nights,  and  that  Darwin's  Origin  of  Spe- 
cies was  the  product  of  an  invalid's  pen.  A  phy- 
sician once  made  a  physical  examination  of  the 
boys  in  a  certain  school.  .  Some  he  classed  as  phys- 
ically defective.  A  few  he  called  physically  perfect. 
After  school  there  was  a  fight  and  a  lad  explained 
it  by  saying,  "One  of  the  defective  fellows  is 
knocking  the  stuffing  out  of  a  perfect  boy."  That 
sometimes  does  happen,  and  it  gives  courage  to 
those  who  do  not  have  full  physical  vigor.  But 
on  the  whole  the  man  physically  fit  has  the  tru- 
est outlook  and  the  best  opportunity.  The  man 
who  is  in  the  right  bodily  condition,  other  things 
being  equal,  will  run  the  farthest  and  think  the 
most  clearly.  Your  profession  stands  for 
keeping  people  physically  at  their  best.  When 
the  physician's  millenium  comes  we  will  not  send 
for  doctors  simply  when  we  are  sick,  we  will 
have  them  examine  us  periodically  to  keep  us 
well. 

Tlie  second  method  by  which  you  can  meas- 
ure a  man  is  his  strength  of  mind.  It  is 
the  temptation  of  a  man  in  any  profession  to  be- 
come engrossed  in  the  routine  of  his  daily  work 
and  to  Itt  the  advance  guard  of  the  profession 
sweep  by  him.  But  the  man  who  measures  up 
to  the  standards  of  his  calling  will  read  the  great 
journals  of  his  profession.  He  will  know  what 
the  men  who  are  its  leaders  are  about.  He  will 
follow  the  story  of  what  experimenters  in  labor- 
atories across  the  ocean  are  doing.  He  will  be  a 
constant  student  of  the  literature  of  liis  line 
of  work.  This  is  to  justify  that  fine  old 
phrase  which  called  the  practice  of  medicine  a 
learned  profession.  And  in  all  this  the  power  of 
a  man's  mind  is  enlarged,  the  grasp  of  his  in- 
tellect is  increased,  and  the  instruments  of  his 
thought  become  more  sharp  and  effective.  So 
using  his  mind  he  approximates  the  standard  in 
respect  of  this  way  of  measuring  a  man. 

Another  test  of  a  man  is  the  power  of  his  per- 
sonality. Here  are  two  men.  One  kno^vs  as 
much  as  the  other.  But  one  has  a  vivid,  mag- 
netic personality.  He  makes  himself  felt  by  the 
sheer  force  of  personal  vitality.     He  is  the  man

who  wins.  You  may  feel  very  scornful  aboiu 
the  Emmanuel  movement,  and  you  have  a  right 
to  do  it.  But  there  is  this  much  truth  in  the 
movement.  A  man  who  has  a  hearty,  vital,  vig- 
orous personality  adds  an  intangible  but  very 
valuable  something  to  the  power  of  the  medicine 
he  prescribes.  The  contagion  of  a  life  full  of 
wholesomeness  and  health  is  of  real  value  in  the 
sick  room.  The  physician  who  has  a  potent 
commanding  personality,  adds  very  much  to  his 
other  powers. 

The  last  standard  I  want  to  suggest  for  the 
measure  of  a  man  is  reverence.  You  can  tell  a 
great  deal  about  a  man  by  what  he  reveres  and 
how  much  he  reveres  it.  Dr.  Oliver  Wendell 
Holmes,  that  brilliant  and  genial  physican  and 
poet,  once  said,  "There  is  a  little  plant  called 
reverence  in  my  soul's  garden  which  I  like  to 
have  watered  about  once  a  week."  The  only 
thing  the  matter  with  this  remark  is  that  if  the 
plant  is  to  be  kept  alive  it  really  needs  water 
more  than  once  a  week. 

There  is  a  type  of  reverence  which  is  based  on 
ignorance.  It  knows  little  of  the  bad  of  life.  It 
knows  little  of  the  hard  and  brutal  facts  of  the 
world.     It  has  a  childish,  innocent  reverence. 

There  is  another  kind  of  reverence  more  im. 
pressive  and  more  commanding.  Here  is  a  man 
who  has  looked  life  full  in  the  eye  Hs  has  been 
struck  down  once  and  again  by  hard  and  disil- 
lusioning facts.  He  knows  the  worst  of  life  and 
heavy  lines  of  experience  and  struggle  have  come 
on  his  face.  It  is  the  face  of  a  warrior,  a  vet- 
eran in  life's  fight.  But  his  eyes  still  gleam  with 
noble  reverence.  Although  he  knows  the  world, 
he  has  not  become  bitter,  he  has  not  become  a 
cynic.  He  is  a  man  of  noble  confidence,  though 
again  and  again  he  has  faced  the  worst  of  life. 

No  group  of  men  have  a  better  opportunity  to 
develop  this  virile  reverence  than  the  men  who 
follow  the  medical  profession.  I  feel  like  con- 
gratulating you  on  your  profession  and  on  the  con- 
tribution you  can  make  to  the  life  and  health  of 
the  world.

THE   COMMECEMENT. 

The  closing  exercises  of  the  session  of  1911-12 
were  held  at  the  Lyric  Theatre,  at  4  P.  M.,  on 
June  1.  In  the  absence  of  the  Chancellor,  Gov- 
ernor Goldsborough,  and  of  the  Provost,  Mr. 
Bernard  Carter,  whose  health  prevented  attend- 


ance, Hon.  Henry  Stockbridge,    of   the  Faculty 
of  Law,   presided. 

To  the  music  of  the  march  from  "Tann- 
hauser,"  the  guests,  faculties  and  students  in  cap 
and  gown  marched  from  the  robing  room  into 
the  auditorium,  where  the  ceremonies  were  open- 
ed with  prayer  by  Rev.  Thomas  Grier  Koontz, 
of  Westminster  Presbyterian  Church.  The 
graduates  of  the  five  departments  of  the  Uni- 
versity occupied  front  seats  in  the  orchestra, 
just  in  front  of  the  stage. 

The  address  to  the  graduates  was  delivered  by 
Mr.  Edgar  H.  Gans,  of  the  Baltimore  Bar,  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Regents.  Mr.  Gans' 
address  was  brief  but  earnest,  in  which  he  pre- 
sented two  thoughts  for  the  consideration  of  bis 
young  hearers,  just  entering  upon  their  life 
career. 

"The  one  great  overshadowing  evil  in  Ameri- 
ca," he  said,  "that  is  growing  greater  as  the  years 
go  by,  is  the  lust  for  money.  There  have  been 
in  this  country  of  ours  such  marvelous  industrial 
developments  that  it  has  been  said  that  there  is 
little  wonder  the  people  are  money  mad.  For 
salvation  from  this  evil  the  country  look:?  to  the 
professional  man.  It  is  his  duty  to  work  for 
excellence  in  his  profession  and  not  for  money 
as  the  sole  end  of  existence." 

He  spoke  strongly  in  justification  of  the  Con- 
stitution of  the  United  States  and  attacked  the 
proposed  recall  of  judicial  decisions. 

"As  citizens  who  will  occupy  places  of  honor 
in  the  communities  to  which  you  go,  it  is  highly 
to  be  hoped  for  that  you  will  learn  what  Ameri- 
can liberty  is,"  he  said.  "There  are  too  many 
people  in  this  world  who  believe  that  liberty  is 
the  absence  of  all  restraint.  Just  the  opposite 
is  true.  'Life,  liberty  and  the  pursuit  of  hap- 
piness' are  secured  by  governmental  restraints. 

"The  essence  of  our  political  freedom  is  found 
in  the  Constitution,  which  lays  restraints  on 
governors  and  governed.  The  most  magnificent 
piece  of  government-making  the  world  has  ever 
seen  was  when,  more  than  100  years  ago,  our 
people  gave  up  their  individual  rights  as  rulers, 
vested  those  powers  in  the  executive,  judicial 
and  legislative  branches  of  our  government  and

then  said,  'Thus  far  shalt  thou  go  and  no  fur- 
ther. 

"An  essential  of  such  a  government  is  that 
there  shall  be  some  one  to  interpret  the  restraints 
— the  judges.  No  one  has  a  right  to  desecrate 
tlie  innermost  shrine  of  our  constitutional  lib- 
erty. Ju'lges  should  be  treated  as  ministers  of 
justice,  and  their  decisions  should  stand  as  au- 
thoritative. To  allow  the  people  to  vote  on  every 
question  mooted  would  be  to  go  backward." 

The  degrees  were  then  conferred  liy  Judge 
Stockbriilge,  the  classes  being  presented  in  suc- 
cession by  President  Fell,  of  St.  Johns  and 
the  Deans  of  the  several  professional  schools. 
The  graduates  numbered  22S,  viz:  Bachelor  of 
Arts,  16;  Bachelor  of  Science,  3;  Doctor  of  Med- 
icine, 75;  Bachelor  of  F^aws,  50;  Doctor  of  Den- 
tal Surgery,  59;    Diictor  of  Pharmacy,  25.

The  honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  was 
conferred  on  Mr.  Edgar  H.  Gans,  of  the  Balti- 
more Bar,  who  was  presented  by  Judge  Henry 
D.  Harlan,  of  the  Faculty  of  Law.  The  hon- 
orary degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity  was  con- 
ferred on  Rev.  Thos.  G.  Koontz,  of  Westmin- 
ster Presbyterian  Church,  Balto.,  presented  by 
Mr.  P.  H.  Tuck,  a  Regent  representing  St. 
Jolin's  College  (Department  of  Arts  and 
Sciences).  The  honorary  degree  of  D jctor  of 
Medicine  was  conferred  on  Professor  R.  Dorsey 
Coale,  Dean  of  the  Department  of  Medicine,  the 
presentor  being  Professor  Randolph  Winslow. 

In  presenting  Mr.  G.ms,  Jud.i:e  Harlan  said: 
"On  the  recomm'3iKlation  of  the  Faculty  of  Law- 
and  in  accordance  with  tlie  mandate  of  the  Re- 
gents, I  have  the  honor  of  asking  you  to  confer 
the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  honoris  caum  in 
this  University  upon  one  whom  I  now  present  to 
you  as  worthy  to  receive  the  same,  the  orator  of 
this  occasion,  Edgar  Hillary  Gans,  one  of  the 
most  distinguished  graduates  of  the  Baltimore 
City  College  (1875),  a  Bachelor  of  Laws  of  this 
University  (1877),  already  twice  honored  with 
the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  by  other  institu- 
tions of  learning,  an  eminent  lawyer,  profound- 
ly vorsed  in  the  principles  of  jurisprudence  and 
in  the  science  and  practice  of  law,  a  skilful 
pleader,  a  brilliant  advocate,  a  wise  counsellor, 
for  eighteen  years  a  sitccessful  teacher  of  law,  a 
clear  and  logical  thinker,  a  master  of  concise 
and  accurate  statement,  an  acknowledged  leader 
of  the  bar,  illustrating  no  less  by  the  integrity 
of  his  character  and  ethical  standards  than  by 
his  signal  ability  and  broad  culture  the  highest 
type  of  our  profession,  as  well  as  a  public  citizen 
whose  influence  and  efforts  can  always  be  en- 
listed in    behalf  of  righteousness   and    justice." 

Tn  presenting  Dr.  Coale,  Professor  Winslow 
spoke  as  follows:  '"I  have  the  honor  to  present 
for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Medicine,  honoris 
causa,  one  whom  the  Regents  have  adjudged 
worthy  of  this  distinction,  and  whose  name  is 
mentioned  in  their  mandate,  Robert  Dorsey 
Coale,  for  twenty-eight  years  professor  of  chem- 
istry and  toxicology  in  the  University  of  Mary- 
land, and  for  the  past  twelve  years  Dean  of  the 
Medical  Faculty  of  the  same  institution.  Born 
and  reared  in  Baltimore,  Professor  Coale  received

city,  but  having  a  predilection   for   military   life

he  entered  the  Pennsylvinia  Military  College  at 
Chester,  Pa.,  from  which  he  graduated  in  1S75. 
Upon  the  opening  of  the  Johns  Hopkins  Univer- 
sity in  1876,  he  became  a  student  in  the  Depart- 
nient  of  Chemistry,  and  he  has  the  distinction 
of  having  been  the  first  matriculate  of  this  fa- 
mous institution,  from  which  he  received  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  in  1881.  In 
1883  he  was  made  Lecturer  and  in  1884  Profes- 
sor of  Chemistry  and  Toxicology  in  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland,  of  which  chair  he  is  still  the 
incumbent.  In  addition  to  his  activities  as 
teacher  and  chemist,  he  has  been  especially 
identified  with  the  Maryland  National  Guard 
and  upon  the  outbreak  of  the  Spanish- American 
War,  was  commissioned  Colonel  of  the  5th 
Maryland  Infantry,  U.  S.  V.  and  served  in  the 
field  with  this  regiment  during  the  hostilities. 
In  consideration  of  Jiis  scientific  attainments 
and  of  the  valuable  services  rendered  the  medi- 
cal School  during  many  years,  I  request  that  he 
be  admitted  to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Medicine, 
honoris  causa,  in  this  University." 

In  presenting  Rev.  Mr.  Koontz,  Mr.  P.  H. 
Tuck  spoke  as  follows: 

"Mr.  Provost,  Gentlemen  of  the  Board  of  Re- 
gents and  Faculties  of  the  University  of  Mary- 
land, Young  Men  and  Ladies  of  the  Student 
Body,  Ladies  and  Gentlemen: 

"It  has  been  an  ancient  custom  for  Universit- 
ies on  festal  days  to  honor  men  of  learning  by 
the  bestowal  of  personal  tokens  of  admiration  in 
recognition  of  their  achievements  in  the  field  of 
literature,  art,  science,  medicine,  law  or  theol- 
ogy. In  conformity  with  this  usage  the  Regents 
of  the  University  of  Maryland  have  caused  a 
mandate  to  be  issued,  directing  that  on  this  oc- 
casion degrees  honoris  causa  be  conferred  upon 
those  whose  names  will  now  be  presented  to  the 
Provost. 

"Mr.  Provost,  I  have  the  honor  and  privilege 
to  present  for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity, 
Thomas  Grier  Koontz,  who  w'as  born  at  OakvilJe, 
Pa.,  in  1875,  and  attended  the  Shippensburg

Neligh,  Nebr.,  in  1895,  and  received  from 
Gates  College,  Neligh,  Nebr.,  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Science  in  1S98.  He  attended 
Lectures  at  Yale  in  the  fall  of  1898,  and  obtain- 
ed the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  from  Princeton 
Univei'sity  in  1900,  and  was  graduated  in  1901 
from  Princeton  Seminary.  He  served  as  a  home 
missionary  during  the  summer  as  follows:  189r3 
New  Castle,  Nebr.,  1897  American  Sunday 
School  Union,  North  Nebr.,  1898  Millersville, 
Nebr.,  1899  Deshler,  Nebr.,  1900  Mellette,  S.  D. 
In  1901  he  was  installed  Pastiir  at  Little 
Britain,  Pa.,  and  became  the  Rector  of  Westmin- 
ster Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore,  in  1905, 
where  he  is  now  serving. 

"From  tliis  sketch  it  will  be  ob.-erved  that 
from  l,S9(i  until  1901,  being  then  first  installed 
pastor,  Mr.  Koontz,  when  other  students  were  en- 
joying the  recreation  to  which  those  are  entitled 
after  a  hard  scholastic  year,  was  commencing 
to  walk  in  that  direction  which  he  has  since 
made  his  life's  journey. 

"Although  Mr.  Koontz  has  received  other 
calls,  which  even  to  a  devout  man  might  seem 
very  alluring,  because  leading  to  apparently  higher 
station  in  his  Church,  yet  he  has  remained  pas- 
tor of  Westminster  because  he  believed  that  his 
work  there  was  of  high'service  to  the  students  of 
the  University  of  Maryland  in  whose  shadow 
Westminster  Church  is  almost  locited,  and  he  is 
regarded,  as  it  were,  the  rector  of  this  old  uni- 
versity. His  church  has  a  peculiar  significance 
to  Baltimoreans,  to  all  Mai'ylanders,  even  to 
those  living  beyond  the  confines  of  this  State, 
and  beyond  the  seas,  because  in  the  best  schools 
of  Europe  Edgar  Allan  Poe  is  regarded  as  the 
purest  writer  of  English  among  all  Americans. 
Westminster  Church  is  our  Westminster  Abbey, 
because  under  its  care  lie  the  remains  of  Poe, 
who  has  now'  entered  upon  peace,  the  peace  of 
God  which  jiasseth  all  understanding. 

"You  are  presented  therefore.  Sir,  for  this  de- 
gree maxima  cum  landc,  because  the  University  of 
Maryland  feels  that  you  will  wear  this  honor  with 
credit,  and  that  she  is  reflecting  no  less  glory 
upon  herself  than  upon  you,  the  recipient."

The  vacancy  in  the  Provoslship  of  the  Uni- 
versity offers  an  opportunity  to  advance  its  in- 
terests which  should  not  be  lost.  One  of  the 
weakest  points  in  our  organization,  one  of  the 
greatest  obstacles  to  our  development  as  a  Uni- 
versity, has  been  the  lack  of  a  real,  effective, 
vigorous  head.  Now  is  the  chance  to  supply  it. 
The  alumni  and  friends  of  the  institution  will 
watch  the  action  of  the  Regents  in  making  this 
appointment  with  deep  interest  and  anxiety, 
and  we  trust  they  will  not  be  disappointed.  It 
is  no  time  for  apathy  or  trilling  difference  of 
opinion.  We  must  live  up  to  the  strenuous  de- 
mands of  a  fast- moving  age;  we  must  endeavor 
to  make  up  for  the  neglect  and  indifference  of 
the  past.  To  come  down  to  plain  facts  this  Uni- 
versity needs  and  needs  at  once  a  suitable  repre- 
sentative to  guide  its  destinies,  to  push  its  fin- 
ancial and  other  interests,  to  represent  it  before 
the  world  as  other  universities  are  represented 
but  as  this  university  has  never  yet  been  repre- 
sented. The  incumbent  we  need  should  be  a 
man  of  35  or  40  years  of  age,  should  be  well 
educated  and  above  all  should  have  conspicuous 
administrative  and  business  capacity.  And  to 
gH  and  keep  such  a  one,  he  should  be  paid  an  ade- 
quate salary  ivhich  in  the  %)resent  status  of  the  Uni- 
versity can  only  be  secured  by  sacrifice  on  the  part 
of  the  severed  facuUies — bi/  joint  contributions  from 
the  departments  in  whose  hands  tlie  income  of  the  in- 

slitution  rests.

The  immediate  future  of  the  medical  schools  of 
Baltimore  will  witness  important  changes.  These 
institutions  may  be  divided  into  three  classes,  1,

AND  HAVE  SAFE  DEPOSIT   BOXES  FOR  RENT 


Johns  Hopkins,  with  its  foundation  of  large  pe- 
cuniary resources;  2,  the  Department  of  Medi- 
cine of  the  University  of  Maryland,  with  its 
partial  endowment,  and  3,  the  three  unendowed 
and  unaffiliated  schools, College  of  Physicians  and 
Surgeons,  Baltimore  Medical  College  and  Mary- 
land Medical  College.  It  is  in  the  third  class 
that  the  changes  spoken  of  will  chiefly  be  seen. 
As  the  Hospital  Bulletin  said  in  its  June  i^sue — 
"the  unaffiliated,  unendowed  medical  school  is 
an  anachronism,  that  cannot  much  longer  ex- 
ist"— an  opinion  which  is  at  last  penetrating  the 
minds  of  those  who  should  long  ago  have  felt 
its  importance.  There  is  no  doulit  that  the 
time  is  not  far  distant  when  the  schools  of  the 
third  class  will  meet  this  inevitable  fate.  If  we 
may  trust  certain  indications,  they  are  fully 
aware  of  the  fact. 

Some  two  years  ago  a  suggestion  was  made  for  a 
union  of  the  University  Medical  School,  the 
Baltimore  Medical  College  and  the  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons,  and  it  is  stated  that 
the  Council  of  the  American  Medical  Association 
is  now  exerting  pressure  to  compel  such  union. 
The  Baltimore  Jledical  College  fav.jrs  it  while 
the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  will  not 
hear  of  it.  But  what  advantage  would  it  lie  to 
us  to  have  them  unite  with  us  ?  They  have  lit- 
tle or  nothing  to  turn  over  and  they  are  only 
able  by  great  effort  to  maintain  themselves  as 
now  constituted ;  we  understand  their  faculties 
have  not  for  a  long  time  received  any  salaries. 
With  benefits  so  doubtful,  why  burden  ourselves 
with  them?  The  University  will  do  well  to 
avoid  such  alliances;  it  should  rather  work  out 
its  salvation  by  its  own  efforts.

IN  MEMORIAM. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Regents  of  the  University 
of  Maryland  on  June  19,  1912,  called  on  the 
occasion  of  the  death  of  Honorable  Bernard 
Carter,  LL.D.,  the  following  minute  was  adopted 
and  placed  upon  their  records. 

The  Regents  of  the  University  of  Maryland  de- 
plore deeply  the  loss  which  the  institution  under 
their  charge  and  themselves  personally  have  sus- 
tained in  the  death  of  the  Honorable  Bernard 
Carter,  LL.D.,  Provost  of  the  University.

Succeeding  the  late  Severn  Teackle  Wallis  in 
the  office  of  provost  eighteen  years  ago,  Mr. 
Carter  manifested  during  that  whole  period  the 
deepest  interest  in  the  welfare  of  the  University. 
While  it  would  have  been  natural  that  from  his 
own  professional  studies  he  should  have  bestow- 
ed his  special  thought  upon  the  school  of  law, 
in  which  he  had  been  at  one  time  an  instructor, 
yet  in  the  admirable  addresses  which  he  made 
to  the  assembled  clashes  of  students  in  the  sev- 
eral schools  of  the  University  on  the  commence- 
ment occasions,  he  showed  always  a  full  appre- 
ciation of  the  nature  and  importance  of  their  re- 
spective studies. 

From  his  experience  iu  his  own  profession  of 
the  law,  in  which  he  had  attained  the  higliest 
distinction  and  had  won  liy  the  consent  of  all  and 
enjoyed  for  approximitely  a  quarter  of  a  cent  iry 
the  position  of  leader  of  the  bar,  he  knew  the 
difficulties  and  discouragements  which  the  young 
votaries  of  science  encountered  ia  tlie  early  pe- 
riods of  their  careers.  From  this  knowledge  he 
manifested  by  his  words  and  by  his  looks  a  -deep 
and  sympathetic  interest  in  the  students  before 
him,  and  he  showed  them  iiy  his  wise  counsels 
how  their  trials  were  to  be  met  and  overcome. 
And  thus  his  words  of  encouragement  and  stim- 
ulation seemed  a  benediction  upon  the  work  in 
which  the  young  graduates  of  the  University 
were  about  to  engage. 

From  early  life  Mr.  Carter  had  taken  a  deep 
interest  in  the  work  of  the  church  to  which  he 
was  attached  and  for  this  reason  and  especially 
from  his  knowledge  of  ecclesiastical  history  and 
law  he  was  for  many  successive  years  elected  a 
delegate  to  the  diocesan  convention  of  Maryland 
and  on  several  occasions  a  deputy  to  the  trien- 
nial General  Convention  of  the  Episcopal  Church, 
of  both  of  which  bodies  he  was  always  regarded 
as  a  most  influential  and  valuable  member. 

In  all  of  these  fields  of  labor,  that  of  the 
councils  of  the  church,  that  of  his  own  profes- 
sion and  that  of  the  academic  work  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland,  he  was  governed  and  guided 
by  his  earnest  and  devoted  Christian  faitii.  As 
was  his  faithful  and  conscientious  labor  so  be  his 
reward.  Daniel  Base,  Secretary.

A   FRIEND. 

There  are  often   times  when  sorrow 

Will  be  lightened. 
And  a  grim,  forbidding  morrow 

Will  be  brinhtened; 
If  you've  but  a  friend  at  hand 
Who  you  know  will  understand. 

Januling  tongues  that  would  embitter 

Us  our  treasures, 
Little  souls,  who  seem  as  litler. 

Injure  pleasures. 
All  are  naught  if  one  word  lands 
From  a  friend  who  understands. 

Fewer  ninrnents  tlicrc  are,  sweeter 

Or  nuire  tender, 
Fewer  hopes  there  arc,  rei>leter 

In  their  sjileudor. 
Than  that  you  have  at  command — 
One  true  friend  who'll  understauil.

MR.  W.  CABELL  BRUCE  ON  "  THE  RE- 
CALL OF  JUDICIAL  DECISIONS." 

INIr.  Bruce,  who  is  an  alumnus  of  the  class  of 
'82,  thus  spoke  of  this  vital  question  at  the 
recent  meeting  of  the  Maryland  Bar  Association, 
held  at  Cape  May : 

"The  nnost  signal  achievement  of  civilization, 
in  its  slow,  upward  ascent  from  levels  of  primi- 
tive savagery  to  its  present  commanding  position 
of  strength  and  security,  is  the  organization  of 
justice — the  suhmission,  under  laws  and  rules  of 
procedure  establislied  by  the  legislative  will  of 
society,  to  learned,  able,  upright  and  indepen- 
dent men  of  those  individual  controversies,  in- 
separable from  the  workings  of  human  activity, 
which,  if  unchecked  by  judicial  restraints, 
would  render  the  earth  little  less  tlian  a  per- 
petual scene  of  tumult,  rapine  and  bloodshed. 

"One  of  tlie  most  interesting  things  about  the 
Federal  Constitution,  as  well  as  the  Essays  of  the 
Federalist,"  said  Mr.  Bruce,  "is  the  testimony 
that  they  ail'ord  to  the  extent  to  which  the 
authors  of  the  Federal  Constitution  assumed 
that  the  American  people  tliemselves  were  too 
intelligent  and  manly  to  refuse  to  recognize  the 
dangers  of  unqualified  popular  supremacy,  and 
to  object  to  restraints  imposed  by  their  wiser 
and  serener  hours  upon  their  less  judicious  and 
m  ire  tempestuous  ones.   ' 

"It  remained  for  our  own  time,  perplexed  by 
industrial  monopolies  and  irresponsible  lolitical 
agencies  unknown  to  the  Constitution  and  the 
laws,  distrustful  of  all  representative  instit' tioiis 
connected  with  the  existing  social  order  and 
fevered  by  a  revolutionai'y  disaffection  appar- 
ently left  no  resoui'ce  except  an  appeal  to  tlie 
direct  action  of  the  opprtsscd  Democracy  itself, 
to  bring  forwaid  the  stnrtlii'g  proposal,  wbicli, 
if  carried  fully  into  effict  would,  in  my  judg- 
ment, go  far  toward  reviving  some  of  the  worst 


features  of  the  English  judicial  system  when 
judges  were  dependent  upon  the  mere  favor  of 
the  king." 

Mr.  Bruce  severely  criticised  the  clause  in  the 
proposed  Constitution  for  Arizona  providing  for 
recall  of  judges.  He  referred  to  Mr.  Roosevelt's 
advocacy  of  the  recall  of  judicial  opinions  under 
certain  conditions  and  then  said: 

"The  recall  of  judges  is  such  a  bold,  novel 
proposition,  is  one  so  shocking  to  all  our  settled 
traditions  and  prepossessions  that  the  mind  ab- 
sorbs its  full  significance  but  slowly.  Only  mo- 
mentary reflection,  however,  it  seems  to  me,  is 
needed  to  satisfy  any  disinterested  man  that  its 
direct  tendency  is  to  calamitously  diminish  the 
force  of  all  the  constitutional  and  statutory  se- 
curities wdiich  the  American  people  have  been 
taught  by  the  long  experience  of  themselves  and 
their  English  progenitors  to  be  indispensable  for 
the  maintenance  of  judicial  integrity  and  inde- 
pendence. 

"When  we  recollect  the  ease  with  which  poli- 
tical machines  in  many  populous  communities  of 
the  Union,  not  to  speak  of  the  power  of  other  sis- 
ter agencies,  have  at  times  marshalled  popular 
majorities  in  support  of  candidates  totally  with- 
out any  real  popular  strength  as  against  candi- 
dates of  eminent  merit,  the  idea  of  subjecting 
the  ermine  to  such  mockery  is  too  abhorrent  for 
contemplation.  The  murder  under  judicial  forms 
for  witchcraft  of  another  batch  of  blameless 
wretches  at  Salem  would  be  hardly  less  medi;T?val 
and  monstrous. 

"That  appalling  scene  at  Hillsville,  when  even 
the  veneration  almost  universally  felt  for  the 
office  of  judge  under  the  present  judicial  system 
was  pow-erless  to  save  a  faithful  and  fearless 
judge  fi-om  the  vengeance  of  atrocious  outlaws, 
is  a  tiMgic  illustration  of  the  peril  that  would  ac- 
company any  further  relaxation  of  judicial 
authority."

LIBRARY  OF  A  COLONIAL  PHYSICIAN. 

BY  EUGENE  F.   COEDELL,  M.D. 

Read  before  the   Booh  and   Journal  Club 

of  the  Medical   and   Chirurgical    Faculty- 

(Concluded  from  page  80.) 

Alexander  Monro's  "Anatomy  of  the  Bones 
and  Nerves,"  3rd  edition,  1741.  This  was  the 
first  of  the  three  Monros,  father,  son  and  grand- 
son, and  hence  he  was  known  as  "Monro 
Primus."  He  was  born  in  London  in  1697,  his 
father  being  an  army  surgeon.  Having  prepared 
himself  under  Cheselden  in  London  and  Boer- 
haave  in  Leyden,  he  began  lecturing  in  Edin- 
burgh on  anatomy  and  surgery  in  1720.  In  1759 
he  turned  over  his  chair  to  his  son  "Secundus" 
and  retired.  He  contributed  more  than  any  one 
towards  the  founding  of  the  Edinburgh  School. 
His  anatomy  was  one  of  the  most  widely  used 
text-books  on  that  subject  of  its  time,  going 
through  seven  or  more  editions  besides  transla- 
tions into  French  and  German.  He  wrote  much 
besides  and  his  entire  works  in  quarto  were  pub- 
lished by  his  son  in  1781. 

A  little  12  mo.  of  263  pages,  London,  1742, 
professes  to  give  a  "Full  View  of  All  Diseases 
Incidental  to  Children,"  being  an  abstract  of  the 
writings  of  Boerhaave,  Sydenham  and  others  on 
the  subject. 

LorenzHeister's  "General  System  of  Surgery" 
appears  in  English  translation,  London,  1743. 
Heister  was  the  son  of  an  inkeeper  at  Frankfurt- 
on-the-Main.  The  house  in  which  he  was  born 
was  marked  by  a  memorial  tablet  and  statue  of 
him.  After  studying  at  Leyden  and  elsewhere, 
he  became  surgeon  in  the  Dutch  Army  and  in 
1710  was  made  Professor  of  Anatomy  and  Botany 
at  Altdorf.  In  1720  he  received  the  Professor- 
ship of  Surgery  at  Helmstildt,  whose  school  he 
raised  to  the  highest  pitch  of  excellence  in  this 
branch,  being  regarded  as  the  founder  of  scienti- 
fic surgery  in  Germany.  Whilst  not  a  "bahn- 
brecher, "  he  systematized  previous  knowledge 
and  judiciously  selected  from  the  chaotic  mass 
what  was  best,  adding  much  from  his  own 
studies  and  experience.  His  masterpiece,  the 
"Chirurgie,"  appeared  first  in  quarto  at  Nurem-

burg  1718  and  was  long  the  text-book  of  Europe. 
"He  introduced  the  cooling  treatment  of  fevers, 
Peruvian  bark,  and  mercury,  and  based  all  pro- 
gress on  observation  and  experiment.  He  was 
a  man  of  independence,  studying  and  following 
nature  "  In  his  preface,  he  complains  of  the 
ignorance  of  the  German  physicians  of  his  day, 
as  well  in  Latin  as  in  their  profession,  and  for 
this  reason  he  issued  a  German  edition  of  his 
work.  He  adds:  "I  have  used  my  best  endeav- 
ors to  promote  the  glory  of  God  and  the  public 
good."  Ano'her  work  in  the  collection  by  this 
author  is  entitled  "Medical,  Chirurgical  and 
Anatomical  Cases  and  ObservaUons,"  quarto, 
1755,  and  is  a  most  interesting  collection  of  his 
clinical  observations  in  field  and  hospital,  "writ- 
ten," as  he  says,  "m  Helmsladt,  September  19, 
1753,  having  just  commenced  the  71st  year  of 
my  life  and  being  in  perfect  health  of  body  and 
strength  of  mind."     He  died  five  years  later. 

The  next  work  is  a  folio  containing  the  "Ana- 
tomical Tables"  of  Eustachius,  with  explana- 
tory notes  by  Bernard  Siegfried  Albinus,  the 
great  anatomist  of  Leyden,  1744.  The  earlier 
anatomist,  whose  name  is  commemorated  in  ihe 
"Eustachian  Tube,"  was  born  about  1500,  and 
was  professor  at  Rome.  He  was  a  Galenist 
and  an  opponent  of  Vesalius,  a  phase  of  his 
career  well  brought  out  in  Foster's  late  lectures 
on  the  "History  of  Physiology."  It  is  recorded 
that  these  tables  were  lost  for  about  100  years 
after  his  death,  but  were  then  found  and  pub- 
lished. Albinus  was  the  younger  of  the  two 
of  the  name.  He  also  published  original  works 
on  anatomy  and  sought  to  establish  its  founda- 
tion on  microscopic  observation.  He  was  unques- 
tionably the  greatest  anatomist  of  his  time; 
Haller  calls  iiis  epoch,  "  the  perfection  of 
anatomy." 

The  next  work  is  the  famous  "Commentaries" 
of  Van  Swieten  on  the  Aphorisms  of  Hippocrates, 
5  vols.,  quarto,  1742-72.  Gerardus  van  Swieten 
was  a  native  of  Leyden  and  an  enthusiastic 
student  and  admirer  of  Boerhaave.  In  1745 
he  was  called  to  Vienna  by  the  Empress  Maria 
Theresa,  and  there  he  founded  the  Viennese 
school  of  medicine,  modeled  after  that  of  Ley- 
den. He  died  in  1772,  and  a  statue  of  him  was 
erected  in  the  university.  For  nearly  twenty 
years  he  enjoyed  the  advantage  of  the  private 
and  public  instruction  of  his  master,  who,  owing

to  the  impossibility  of  completing  all  the  subjects 
of  the  curriculum  during  the  session,  omitted 
many  things  from  his  lectures  particularly  at  the 
clo^e  of  the  year.  Mere  we  have  the  teachings 
of  Boerhaave  complete  in  five  large  quarto  vol- 
umes occupying  thirty  years  in  their  prepara- 
tion . 

The  next  author  of  importance  is  Richard 
Mead,  of  whom  we  hive  a  work  on  "Poisons," 
1747;  another  entitled  "Medica  Sacra,"  1749, 
being  essays  on  the  most  important  diseases 
mentioned  in  the  Bible,  and  a  third — "Medical 
Precepts  and  Cautions,"  1755.  Mead  was  the 
most  eminent  English  physician  of  his  day. 
Bjrn  near  London  in  1673,  he  found  it  more 
convenient,  on  account  of  his  pDlitics,  to  go  to 
the  continent  for  his  education.  He  studied  at 
Leyden  and  Padua,  taking  his  medical  degree  at 
the  latter.  He  was  physician  to  George  II  and 
and  also  to  St.  Thomas'  Hospital,  enjoying  a 
practice  which  reached  £  1000  sterling.  He  died 
in  1751.  His  greatest  service  was  his  inducing 
the  bookseller  Guy  to  found  the  great  hospital 
known  as  "Guy's  Hospital"  in  London. 

The  "Dispensatory  of  the  Royal  College  of 
Physicians,"  by  H.  Pemberton,  8rd  edition, 
London,  1751,  was  a  standard  work.  Burton's 
"Essay  on  Midwifery,"  published  the  same 
year,  had  a  considerable  success  and  was  trans- 
lated into  the  I'rench. 

Parsons'  "Philosophical  Observations  on  the 
Analogy  between  the  Propagation  of  Animals 
and  Vegetables,"  1752.  .James  Parsons  was  a 
graduate  of  the  University  of  Rheims  and  died  in 
London  at  the  early  age  of  31.  He  was  a  fertile 
writer  and  successful  obstetrician.  The  front 
page  of  the  book  contains  the  words,  in  Dr. 
Scott's  own  handwriting — tremulous  from  age — 
"Bequeathed  to  U.  Scott." 

Warner's  "Cases  in  Surgery,  chielly  seen  in 
Guy's  Hospital,"  1754.  .Joseph  Warner,  an  ex- 
cellent surgeon,  was  a  native  of  the  island  of 
Antigua,  in  the  West  Indies,  and  a  pupil  of 
Samuel  Sharp,  whom  he  succeeded  at  Guy's 
Hospital,  holding  the  post  of  senior  surgeon 
there  for  40  years.  He  founded  a  school  of  Sur- 
gery in  London    and    died    in  ISOl,  at  the  age  of

went  through  four  or  more  edi,tions. 

"The  Three  Digestions  and  Discharges  of  the 
Human  Body,"  by  Edward  Barry,  London, 
1759.  Barry  was  professor  of  Physic  in  Dublin. 
Having  been  a  pupil  of  Boerhaave,  we  may  con- 
clude that  he  followed  in  this  work  the  physiol- 
ogy of  that  great  physician.  His  three  diges- 
tions are,  1st,  that  of  the  stomach  producing 
chyle;  2d,  that  of  the  lungs  producing  serum ; 
3d,  that  of  the  blood-vessels  producing  attenuated 
serum  and  animal  spirits.  All  of  these,  he 
states,  are  preparatory  to  nutrition . 

"Essay  on  Bilious  Fevers,"  Simon  Andre 
Tissot,  1760.  Tissot  was  a  French  physician  of 
Lausanne,  a  graduate  of  Montpellier,  who  drew 
general  attention  to  himself  by  his  advocacy  of 
inoculation,  ai:id  his  heterodox  treatment  of 
syphilis  by  cooling  and  sedative  remedies.  For 
three  years,  at  the  invitation  of  the  Austrian 
emperor,  he  held  the  chair  of  medicine  at  the 
University  of  Pa  via.  He  was  considered  a  man 
of  brilliant  a.tainments  and  his  fellow- townsmen 
celebrated  his  return  to  their  midst  by  great  re- 
joicing. He  was  32  years  old  when  this  work 
was  published.  In  the  preface,  he  expresses  his 
opinion  of  the  ancient  medical  writers,  of  whom 
in  genera]  he  does  not  think  much,  excepting, 
however,  from  this  unfavorable  estimate,  Celsus, 
Aretieus,  some  books  of  Galen,  Alexander  of 
Tralles,  and  especially  Hippocrates,  whom  he 
admires  above  all  other  physicians. 

"Principia  Medicinae,"  by  Francis  Home,  2d 
ed.,  1762.  Home  was  a  Scotch  physician  who 
.graduated  at  Edinburgh  in  1750,  and  later  be- 
came professor  of  Materia  Medica  there.  He  is 
best  known  by  his  Essay  on  Croup.  "All  his 
writings  show  good  powers  of  observation  and 
rich  experience."  He  takes  especially  Celsus  and 
Hoffman  for  guides,  and  refers  to  "the  acute 
judgment  and  elegant  style  of  Celsus."  The 
work  is  interleaved  as  if  for  Ms.  notes  and  addi- 
tions. 

Passing  over  a  work  by  Brocklesby,  giving  the 
experiences  of  an  army  surgeon,  we  come  to  an 
"Essay  on  Dropsy,"  3d  ed.,  London,  1765,  by 
Donald  Monro,  physician  to  St.  George's,  and  a 
memlier  of  the  famous  Munro  family  of  Edin- 
baigb;  and  next,  to  a  work  entitled  "Medical 
Essays  and  Obsci vations,"  by  Charles  Bisset,

"Essays,  Medical  and  Experimental,"  by 
Thoma?  Percival,  1767.  Percival,  like  so  many 
of  these  authors,  was  a  graduate  of  Leyden.  He 
settled  in  Manchester  and  wrote  there  his  well- 
known  "Medical  Ethics"  in  1803,  dying  the 
following  year. 

"History  of  the  Materia  Medica,"  by  William 
Lewis,  2d  ed.,  London,  1768.  This  was  Lewis' 
most  important  work,  one  highly  commended 
by  Cullen. 

"Elements  of  the  Theory  and  Practice  of 
Chemistry,"  by  Pierre  Joseph  Macquer,  3d  ed., 
translation,  vol.  1-3,  1768.  Macquer  was  a 
French  chemist  of  great  reputation,  who  made 
important  discoveries  in  arsenic  and  other  sub- 
stances and  first  demonstrated  the  combustibility 
of  diamonds. 

"A  Full  and  Plain  Account  of  the  Gout,  from

personal  experience  and  observation. 

"Pharmacopoeia  Medici,"  by  John  Berken- 
hoot,  2d.  ed.,  London,  1768.  This  author  was 
a  native  of  Leeds,  though  of  Dutch  extraction. 
Being  sent  to  Germany  to  be  educated,  he  there 
became  a  captain  in  the  army  of  Frederick  11. 
In  1756  he  entered  the  English  service  and  in 
1765  obtained  the  degree  of  M.D.  at  Edinburgh. 
After  twelve  years'  successful  practice  in  Middle- 
sex, the  English  Government  sent  him  in  1778  to 
the  Continental  Congress  in  Philadelphia.  He 
was  there  imprisoried,  but  on  his  return  received 
a  state  pension.  His  death  occurred  in  1791. 
He  was  the  author  of  several  other  works. 

"Works  of  Robert  Whytt, "  1768.  This  was  a 
Scotch  physiologist,  who  held  a  chair  in  the 
University  of  Edinburgh.  He  was  one  of  ihe 
most  zealous  followers  of  Stahl,  and  an  excellent 
experimenter  and  good  observer.  This  is  a  com- 
plete edition  of  his  works  by  his  son.

"Experimental  Essays  on  Several  Subjects," 
by  William  Alexander,  2d  ed.,  1770.  Alexander 
was  an  Edinburgh  graduate  and  practitioner, 
who  died  in  1783.  Having  tried  the  effects  of  a 
number  of  medicaments,  upon  himself  and  in 
other  ways,  he  satisfied  himself  that  certain 
articles,  called  by  him  antiseptics,  as  saltpetre, 
quinine,  etc.,  when  applied  to  the  skin  were  ab- 
sorbed and  excreted  again  in  the  urine,  and  here 
proposes  to  treat  "putrid  diseases"  by  means  of 
baths  medicated  with  these  agents.  The  first 
essay  is  devoted  to  the  subject  and  is  entitled 
"On  the  External  Application  of  Antiseptics  in 
Putrid  Diseases."  He  does  not  furnish,  how- 
ever, any  clinical  evidence  in  favor  of  such  treat- 
ment. 

The  next  three  works,  all  published  in  1771, 
are  George  Armstrong's  "Essay  on  the  Diseases 
of  Children;  "  John  Hunter's  "Natural  History 
of  the  Human  Teeth,"  and  George  Fordyce's 
"Practice  of  Physic."  The  first  author  devoted 
himself  especially  to  children's  diseases  and  es- 
tablished a  children's  dispensary  in  London. 
His  work  went  through  several  editions.  Of 
John  Hunter,  born  in  Scotland  in  1728,  died  in 
London  1793,  anatomist,  zoologist,  pathologist, 
the  father  of  modern  surgery,  the  pride  of  the 
British  profession,  it  is  needless  to  say  much  as 
his  name  has  been  immortalized  by  his  great 
museum,  his  writings,  his  operations  for  aneurism 
and  the  term  "Hunterian  Chancre."  This  was 
the  first  and  one  of  the  chief  of  his  works,  and 
the  first  complete  and  scientific  treatise  on  the 
subject  of  the  teeth.  George  Fordyce  was  a 
native  of  Aberdeen  and  a  graduate  of  Edinburgh. 
He  settled  in  London,  became  pdysician  to  St. 
Thomas'  Hospital,  and  died  in  1802  at  the  age  of 
66.  He  was  one  of  the  most  popular  teachers  of 
his  time. 

"Theory  and  Practice  of  Physic,"  by  David 
Macbride,  Dublin,  1772.  Macbride  was,  like 
Scott,  a  native  of  County  Antrim,  Ireland,  but 
was  four  years  the  junior  of  the  latter.  He 
also,  like  Scott,  attended  Glasgow  University. 
After  post-graduate  studie9  in  London  under 
Smellie  and  others,  he  settled  in  Dublin  in  1749. 
He  made  experiments  in  Fermentation  and 
Putrefaction  and  gave  great  prominence  in  his 
physiological  views  to  Stahl 's  "Anima."  His 
practice  was  translated  into  Dutch,  German  and 
French.

James  Maclurg,  a  native  of  Virginia,  wrote  this 
work,  entitled  "Experiments  on  Human  Bile," 
1772.  It  seems  to  have  been  an  amplification 
of  a  graduation  thesis.  He  studied  at  both 
Edinburgh  and  Paris.  His  work  attracted  much 
notice  and  was  translated  into  the  chief  languages 
of  Europe.  The  nature  of  his  research  is  shown 
by  the  following  quotation  from  the  introduc- 
tion:  "I  have  onlj' attempted  to  throw  some 
light  on  the  nature  of  the  bile  by  mixing  it  with 
other  substances  and  marking  the  phenomena.'' 
He  returned  to  America  in  1773,  and  died  in 
Richmond  in  1825.  There  is  a  picture  of  him 
in  the  University  Library. 

John  Gregory's  "Lectures  on  the  Duties  and 
Qualifications  of  a  Physician,"  1772,  lectures 
introductory  to  the  course  in  medicine  at  the 
University  of  Edinlmrg. 

"Experimental  Inquiries,"  London,  1772,  the 
chief  work  of  William  Hewson,  the  brilliant 
associate  of  William  Hunter.  He  died  in  1774 
at  the  early  age  of  35,  from  a  dissection  wound. 
His  work  was  principally  on  the  lymphatics  and 
blood.  Says  B.  W.  Richardson  of  him:  "In  the 
whole  range  of  medical  scientific  life,  there  is  not 
to  my  knowledge  a  single  instance  of  one  who, 
in  so  brief  a  life  as  that  of  William  Hewson,  did 
so  much  medical  work  so  well,  or  made,  in  so 
short  a  time  such  excellent  history"  (Ascle- 
piad,  1891). 

I'rom  the  intimate  relations  subsisting  be- 
tween Dr.  Scott  and  William  O.illen,  the  former 
having  attended  the  latter's  first  course  of  lec- 
tures at  Glasgow  (as  we  learn  from  a  letter  from 
CuUen  to  his  former  pupil  preserved  at  the 
Faculty's  Library),  we  would  expect  to  find  the 
great  Scotch  physician's  works  in  the  collection. 
And  accordingly  we  have  here  three  of  them, 
viz.:  "Institutions  of  Medicine,"  1772;  "Lec- 
tures on  Materia  Medica,"  1773,  and  "Practice 
of  Physic,"  1779.  No  name  in  English  medi- 
cine stood  higher  at  the  close  of  the  18th  century 
than  that  of  Cullen,  who  was  successively  pi-o- 
fessor  at  Glasgow  and  Edinburgh.  But  it  would 
be  hard  to  point  out  one  single  contribution  of 
permanent  value  made  by  him  to  medicine.  He 
was  a  theorist,  placing  the  origin  of  all   diseased

conditions  in  the  nervous  system.  The  interest 
in  him  at  present  is  almost  altogether  a  his- 
torical one.  Says  Richardson  again:  "The  most 
careful  study  of  his  labors  fails  to  detect  now  one 
poor  unit  of  actual  discovery  with  which  his 
name  can  be  connected"  (Asclepiad,  1890). 

Andrew  Duncan,  also  an  Edinburgh  teacher, 
is  the  author  of  three  works:  "Mercury  in  Ven- 
ereal Disease,"  1772;  "Therapeutics,"  2d  ed., 
2  vols.,  1773,  and  "Medical  Cases,"  2d  ed., 
1781.  The  last-named  consists  of  the  course  of 
lectures  delivered  by  him  at  the  Public  Dispen- 
sary in  Edinburgh,  in  the  year  1776-77,  and  is 
his  chief  work. 

Of  the  remaining  works,  mere  mention  is  re- 
quired of  the  "London  Practice  of  Physic,"  21 
ed.,  1773,  an  "Essay  on  the  Cure  of  Abscesses 
by  Caustic,"  by  the  London  Surgeon  Clare,  1779, 
and  the  15th  German  edition  of  Linnaeus'  "Sys- 
tema  Vegetalium." 

Besides  the  above,  there  are  several  volumes  of 
Theses,  1771-73,  among  which  I  find  that  of  Dr. 
John  Parnham,  of  Charles  County,  Md.,  a  foun- 
der of  this  Faculty,  "De  Cistirrha-a,"  Edin- 
burgh, 1772,  and  a  number  of  other  Americans. 
Most  of  them  are  of  Edinburgh,  but  two  or  three 
of  Glasgow  and  Leyden.  They  were  all  presented 
to  John  Birnie,  Dr.  Scott's  nephew,  and  contain 
the  autographs  of  their  authors. 

There  are  six  volumes  of  the  "Memoirs  of  the 
Royal  Academy  of  Surgery  of  Paris,"  1713-57; 
five  volumes  of  "Medical  Essays  and  Observa- 
tions," 3d  ed.,  1747;  seven  volumes  of  "Medi- 
cal and  Philosophical  Commentaries,"  1771-79; 
and  six  volumes  of  "Medical  Inquiries  and  Ob- 
servations," 17G0-84.  The  last  contains  articles 
by  Benjamin  Rush,  -James  Tilton,  Thomas  Bond 
and  John  Bard,   all  Americans. 


HISTORICAL  NOTES. 

Ligation  of  the  common  iliac  artery  was  done 
for  the  first  time  in  this  city  on  July  27,  1812, 
by  William  Gibson,  Professor  of  Surgery  in  the 
University  of  Maryland,  and  then  2  4  years  old. 
The  operation  was  clone  for  the  arrest  of  hemor- 
rhage in  a  male  patient  aged  38.  During  the  riots 
a  musket  ball  had  entered  the  left  side  of  his  ab- 
domen, passing  through  the  intestine,  opening 
the  left  common  iliac  artery  and  lodging  in  the 
sacrum.  Peritonitis  developed  promptly  and 
on  the    9th  day  a  severe  hemorrhage  occurred.

OLD  MARYLAND. 


Prom  this  time  until  the  death  of  the  patient 
on  the  15th  clay  after  operation,  there  were 
repeated  hemorrhages.  Mott  next  performed  it 
successfully  for  aneurism  of  the  external  iliac. 
To  the  present  time  the  artery  has  been  tied 
about  100  times.  Of  30  cases  done  since  the 
inauguration  of  the  antiseptic  period,  14  died 
(Halsted). 

Dr.  Adam  Thomson,  the  celebrated  inoculator, 
was  a  pux^il  of  Monro  Primus,  the  founder  of  the 
Edinburgh  Medical  School.  He  emigrated  from 
Scotland  to  Maryland  early  in  the  18th  century, 
settling  in  Prince  George's  Co.  He  moved 
thence  to  Philadelphia  in  1748,  and  died  in  New 
York  City  in  1767.  His  celebrity  depend;-:  upon 
the  so-called  "American"  method  of  inoculation, 
which  he  began  in  1738.  This  required  a  two- 
weeks  "cooling  regimen,"  consisting  of  restricted 
diet,  moderate  bleeding  and  purgation,  and  the 
administration  of  a  combination  of  mercury  and 
antimony,  which  he  regarded  as  antidotal  to  the 
"variolous  contagion."  He  claimed  phenome- 
nal success  for  this  method,  mercury  being  more 
of  a  specific  here  than  in  venereal  disease.  He 
claimed  never  to  have  seen  any  one  so  prepared 
"in  any  danger  under  the  disease."  The  method 
was  universally  adopted  in  the  colonies  and  was 
favorably  received  in  England.  Dr.  Thomson 
held  the  following  theory  regarding  the  method 
of  immunity:  "It  seems  to  me  highly  probable 
that  there  is  a  certain  quantity  of  an  infinitely 
subtle  matter  which  may  be  called  the  variokais 
fuel,  equally,  intimately  and  universally  diffused 
through  the  blood  of  every  human  creature ;  in 
some,  more,  in  others,  less,  that  lies  still  and 
quiet  in  the  body,  never  showing  itself  in  any 
manner  hitherto  discovered  until  put  in  action 
by  the  variolous  contagion,  at  which  time  it  is 
totally  expelled  by  the  course  of  the  disease." 

Moses  Montrose  Fallen,  '35,  was  a  native  of 
Virginia,  a  son  of  a  Polish  olHcer,  who  served 
under  Napoleon.  He  settled  in  St.  Louis  in 
1842  and  held  the  chair  of  obstetrics  in  the  St. 
Louis  Medical  College  over  20  years.  He  is  de- 
scribed as  of  medium  height,  stocky  build,  with 
big,  well-shaped  head,  covered  with  gray  hair, 
broad,  round  face,  close-cropped  side-whiskers, 
small  sparkling  eyes,  large  mouth  and  lips.  He 
was  a  teacher  by  nature,  adapting  himself  per- 
fectly to  his  classes,  serious,  conscientious,  im- 
pressive.

My  only  reason  for  allowing  my  name  to

Dear  Friend  and  Comrade:  I  received  your  let- 
ter and  journal — Old  Maryland.  I  was  truly 
glad  to  hear  from  you,  that  you  were  still  alive 
and  well.  The  older  we  get  the  more  we  think 
of  each  other  and  associates  in  that  awful  war 
time.  Your  recollections  of  slave  days  and  war 
times  Seems  to  be  fine.  Can  I  get  the  set  and 
what  amount  shall  I  send  to  pay  for  them? 

Your  prison  life  was  awful.  I  made  my  es- 
cape at  Waynesboro  by  swimming  Soutli  River, 
but  was  taken  again  and  escaped  the  second 
time.  As  you  are  aware,  I  was  a  sharp-shooter 
and  was  determined  never  to  go  to  prison. 

I  have  done  fairly  well,    have  had  lots  of  ups 
and  downs.     When    I   hear   from  you    again,  I 
will  try  to  tell  more  about  myself  and  war  times. 
Yours  very  truly,

BALTIMORE,  JULY,  1913. 

.  Judge  Henry  Stockbridge,  of  the  Faculty  of 
Law,  has  been  appointed  Acting  Provost  of  the 
University  until  Mr.  Carter's  SLiceessor  is  named. 


While  it  is  true  that  the  charter  of  the  Univer- 
sity does  not  specify  in  detail  the  duties  of  the 
Provost,  it  gives  authority  to  the  Board  of 
Regents  to  designate  them.  So  that  this  need 
give  us  no  concern.  The  right  sort  of  a  man 
would  not  need  to  be  stimulated  in  working  for 
the  University;  he  would  do  it  because  it  was  his 
duty  and  his  heart  was  in  it.

After  the  first  of  January,  1914,  the  Depart- 
ment of  Medicine  of  this  University  will  require 
of  matriculants,  in  addition  to  the  4  year  high 
school  course,  one  year  of  loork  in  college,  embrac- 
ing physics,  chemistry  and  biology  and  a  knowl- 
edge of  one  modern  language  in  addition  to 
English.  According  to  the  report  of  the  Coun- 
cil on  Medical  Education  of  the  American  Med- 
ical Association,  presented  at  the  recent  meeting 
of  the  Association,  46  schools  have  adopted  such 
higher  requirments,  including  16  requiring  two 
or  more  years  of  college  work.  The  Faculty  of 
Physic  of  this  University  is  determined  that  our 
medical  school  shall  stand  in  the  highest  class 
of  such  institutions,  and  no  effort,  no  sacrifice 
will  be  considered  too  great  if  needed  to  attain 
this  end.  It  therefore  most  heartily  welcomes 
this  advance  requirement,  so  reasonable  in  itself 
and  already  accepted  by  so  many  other  institu- 
tions of  equal  rank. 

o 

There  were  two  negroes  in  the  law  class  of  1889. 
Harry  S.  Cummings,  who  has  been  a  member  of 
the  City  Council  from  the  17th  ward  for  many 
years,  is  also  a  graduate,  class  of  1889.  October, 
1889,  two  negroes  applied  to  be  matriculated  in 
the  medical  school  of  the  University.  The  Dean 
was  instructed  to  reply  that  the  Faculty  did  not 
deem  it  expedient  to  admit  negroes  at  present. 
Replies  were  received  from  the  father  of  one  of 
the  applicants,  from  Dr.  Winsey,  and  one  or  two 
others,  but  no  notice  of  these  communications  was 
taken.  Some  apprehension  was  felt  lest  they 
should  test  the  matter  at  law.  They  were  ad- 
vised to  go  to  Howard  University,  Washington, 
where  negroes  are  received. 

The  first  colored  physician  admitted  to  mem- 
bership in  the  Medical  and  Chirurgical  Faculty 
of  Maryland  was  Dr.  Whitfield  Winsey,  a  gradu- 
ate of  Harvard  University.  His  election,  on 
April  12,  1882,  created  some  excitement  and 
several  members  of  the  Faculty — Drs.  Dennis  I.

McKew,  Francis  T.  Miles,  Thomas  B.  Owings, 
and  Alan  P.  Smith — resigned  in  consequence  of  it. 
There  are  many  reasons — social  and  other — 
why  negroes  should  not  be  admitted  to  the  Uni- 
versity. It  is  much  better  that  they  should  go 
to  institutions  especially  intended  for  them. 
o 

It  will  be  remembered  that  the  Faculty  of 
Physic,  complying  with  the  requirement  of  the 
Regents  of  the  University  of  New  York,  through 
its  Dean,  Professor  Coale,  gave  its  promise  last 
year,  that  by  Oct.  1,  1912,  i.  e.,  the  beginning 
of  next  session,  it  would  have  "six  full-time, 
salaried  instructors  giving  their  whole  time  to 
medical  work."  The  Council  on  Medical  Educa. 
tion  of  the  American  Medical  Association  has 
given  thii  requirement  in  more  detail  in  par.  13, 
of  "Outline  of  the  Essentials  of  an  Acceptable 
Medical  College"  {Jl.  A.  M.  A.,  June  8,  1912, 
p.  1794):  "At  least  six  expert,  thoroughly  trained 
instructors  in  the  laboratory  branches,  sala'-ied, 
so  they  may  devote  their  entire  time  to  instruction 
and  to  that  research  without  which  they  cannot 
well  keep  up  with  the  rapid  progress  being  made 
in  their  subjects.  These  instructors  should  rank 
sufficiently  high  to  have  some  voice  in  the  con- 
duct of  the  college."  This  requirement  has  also 
been  adopted  by  the  Carnegie  Foundation  for  the 
Advancement  of  Education,  so  that  it  is  assured 
as  the  standard  which  is  to  prevail  hereafter. 

It  is  gratifying  to  know  that  our  Faculty  of 
Physic  is  eiiergeticall.y  pushing  this  matter  with 
pre  spects  of  success  by  the  time  specified.  Al- 
resd/  the  requirement  has  been  complied  with  in 
the  following  departments : 

Anatomy — the  present  incumbent.  Professor 
J.  Holmes  Smith;  Chemistry — the  present  in- 
cumbent, Professor  R.  Dorsey  Coale;  Biology 
and  Physiology — Associate  Professor  T.  L.  Pat- 
terson, Ph.D. ;  Normal  Histology  and  Embry- 
ology— Associate  Professor  H.  J.  Makleis.  Two 
appointments  still  remain  to  be  filled,  viz:  path- 
ology and  physiological  chemistry  and  pharma- 
cology. 

The  change  that  this  will  imply  will  be 
very  great  indeed,  developing  and  systematis- 
ing   laboratory  work  in  a  way  which  cannot  but

make  the  students  who  graduate  here  more 
thorough,  exact  and  learned  and  raising  the 
standard  still  further.  So  that  those  who  receive 
our  University  degree  will  be  in  a  position  to  re- 
flect still  more  credit  upon  the  Alma  Mater  from

The  Hospital  Bullelin  for  July,  following  in  the 
line  of  the  sentiment  upon  the  subject  expressed 
in  the  June  number  of  Old  Maryland,  has  a 
strong  editorial  on  the  provostship  of  the  Uni- 
versity. It  regards  this  question  of  leadership  as  a 
vital  one,  as  involving  the  progress  of  the  institu- 
tion and  its  ultimate  survival.  "We  must  have 
a  leader,"  it  says,  "of  broad  mind,  one  endowed 
with  the  ability  to  attract  men,  a  man  vested 
with  authority  to  seize  the  helm  and  guide  the 
ship  into  a  safe  harbor.  The  death  of  Provost 
Carter  forces  some  action  upon  the  University, 
and  affords  a  golden  opportunity  to  once  and  for- 
ever remedy  the  anomaly  of  an  institution  con- 
ducted by  a  head  without  authority  to  act  for 
her  welfare.  If  this  occasion  is  permitted  to 
pass  and  the  same  old  lines  are  pursued  without 
change,  then  those  who  today  hold  the  destinies 
of  the  University  in  trust  will  be  held  culpable 
by  future  generations  and  their  motives  will  be 
adjudged  selfish  and  their  viewpoint  narrow. 
The  question  before  the  University  today  is  one 
which  eliminates  persons  and  holds  up  for  view 
only  the  interests  of  the  University  and  her 
future,  and  personal  ambitions  and  personal 
losses  must  be  forgotten  and  the  upbuilding  of 
the  University  must  be  the  only  end  sought. 
*  *  *  To  be  or  not  to  be — that  is  the  absorbing 
question  which  is  agitating  the  minds  of  all  true 
friends  of  our  institution;  whether  the  Univer- 
sity is  going  to  die  a  slow  and  agonizing  death  or 
is  to  take  on  renewed  life  and  vitality.  The 
answer  will  be  read  in  the  name  of  the  man  who 
is  appointed  Prevost." 

These  are  noble  words,  true  words,  and 
expressed  with  force  and  vigor.  Surely  our 
joint  representations  on  this  subject  should  not 
be  in  vain.  We  await  the  result  with  the 
deepest,  most  anxious  interest.

Irving  C.  Rosse,  M.D.,  a  native  of  Dorchester 
County,  Md.,  and  a  graduate  of  the  University 
of  Maryland,  1866.  Here  is  what  Thomas  Hall 
Shastid  says  of  him    in    his  historical  sketch  of 


106 


OLD  MARtLAND. 


Medical     Jurisprudence    in     America,      Kelly's 
Cyclopedia,  vol.  I,  p.  Ixxxi: 

"Finally  we  come  to  Irving  C.  Rosse,  whose 
merits  as  a  writer  on  lego  medical  topics  I  do 
not  think  are  by  any  means  appreciated.  It  is 
chiefly,  ihougli  not  at  all  only,  as  a  stylist  tha^ 
Dr.  Rosse  excelled,  but  let  no  stickler  for  'suL- 
stance  and  not  form'  I'aise  up  his  shrill  protesting 
voice  on  that  account. 

"In  spite  of  uiEinifest  defects,  the  writings  of 
Rosse  are  clear,  convincing  and  impressive.  They 
are  even  more;  they  are  rich,  sumptuous,  and 
tilled  to  the  running  over  point  with  genuine 
enthusiasm. 

"We  know  Rosse  as  a  medico- jurisprudentist 
chiefly  by  his  chapters  in  Witthaus  and  Becker's 
'JVIedical  Jurisprudence,  Forensic  Medicine  and 
Toxicology.'  For  this  encyclopedic  undertaking, 
he  wrote  the  articles  on  'Personal  Identity,'  'Death 
by  Drowning,'  and  'Unnatural  Crimes.'  Turn  to 
any  one  of  these  and  in  a  moment  you  are  fairly 
whirled  away  by  the  rapidity  of  Rosse's  move- 
ment, and  by  his  own  deep  and  genuine  interest. 
No  one,  indeed,  can  read  Rosse  and  not  in  a 
very  short  time  begin  to  understand  that  this 
man  is  really  in  love  with  his  subject,  as  well  as 
learned.  His  are  no  mere  dry  duties  performed; 
no  perfunctory  and  soul-wearying  task.  So 
abundant  an  understanding  of  his  subject  does 
he  possess  that  he  pours  his  treasures  out  before 
you  like  some  great  Eastern  nabob,  with  proud 
but  careless  profusion.  Zoology,  geology,  astron- 
omy; history,  philosophy,  Hebrew,  antiquities; 
tlie  old  red  sandstone,  fishes,  the  African  races, 
how  a  man  handles  a  cane  in  walking,  the  pre- 
valence of  bestiality  in  China — all  these  and  a 
thousand  other  matters  that  the  reader  feels  all 
the  while  he  would  never  himself  have  thought 
of,  are  all  poured  together  in  Rosse's  medico- 
jurisprudential  treasure-heap  till  the  reader  is 
astounded,  overwhelmed,  aghast  with  wonder 
and  pleasure. 

"Moreover,  Rosse  never  treats  a  subject,  or  a 
single  department  of  a  subject,  generally  and  ab- 
stractly, but  always  concretely  and  specifically. 
This  tendency  is  seen    in  the  very  simplest  mat-

ters  and  sentences.  For  example,  instead  of  re- 
marking, abstractly,  that  humnn  bone  tissue 
cannot  certainly  be  distinguished  from  the  cor- 
responding tissue  of  animals,  he  observes,  con- 
cretely, 'we  cannot  say  with  safety  whether  the 
fragment  belonged  to  a  mouse,  a  man,  or  an 
elephant.'  Who  can  imagine  an  abstact  writer 
— ^Dean  or  Ordronaux — producing  such  a  sen- 
tence? Again,  instead  of  contenting  himself 
with  the  general  statement,  that  the  bodies  of 
persons  who  have  drowned  often  drift  long  dis- 
tances from  the  spot  wliere  the  drowning  took 
place,  he  remarks  of  his  own  experience  and 
specifically:  'Such  a  circumstance  I  noted  a  few 
years  ago  at  Brownsville,  Texas,  whei-e  it  was  a 
common  sight  to  see  bloate'l  cadavers  going 
down  the  Rio  Grande.' 

"Unfortunately,  he  never  attempted  a  complete 
treatise  on  the  subject  of  medical  jurisprudence."

would  be  required  for  admission  to  the  principal 
colleges  and  universities  in  Maryland,  and  to 
have  attended  three  courses  of  lectures  with  an 
average  of  10  hours'  class-room  work  weekly.

coming  session  are  being  made,  upon  the 
assumption  that  there  will  be  a  large  attendance 
of  industrious  students. 

The  arrangement  of  the  library  is  being 
changed,  with  a  view  of  distinguishing  the 
space  for  the  assembling  of  students  from  that 
intended  primarily  for  students  who  are  using 
the  library  for  the  purpose  of  study  or  investiga- 
tion. Some  additional  tables  are  being  provided, 
so  as  to  furnish  ample  accommodations  for  all 
who  desire  to  use  the  shelves  of  the  library. 

A  number  of  new  books  will  find  a  place  in  the 
library  before  the  opening  of  the  session,  promi- 
nent among  which  will  be  the  "Annotated  Code 
of  1911"  (2  vols.),  and  the  current  volumes  of 
the  cumulative  Pets  of  reports.  Of  the  volumes 
already  in  the  library,   many  are  being  rebound. 

The  magazine  table  in  the  library  will  also 
present  some  additions.  These  will  include  "The 
Maryland  Reporter,"  "Virginia  Law  Register," 
"National  Corporation  Reporter,"  and  others. 


DEPARTMENT  OF  MEDICINE. 

Miss  Grace  Gephardt,  a  graduate  nurse  of  the 
Hospital  Training  School,  has  been  appointed 
superintendent  of  the  Havre-de-Grace  Hospital. 

Dr.  Ernest  S.  Bulluck,  '11,  of  Wilmington, 
N.  C,  has  been  elected  vice-president  oftheNorth 
Carolina  Medical  Society,  and  Dr.  Henry  D. 
Stewart,  '98,  of  Monroe,  orator. 

Dr.  Frank  S.  Lynn,  '07,  returned  from  Ohio 
to  take  pnrt  in  the  cruise  of  the  Maryland  JS'aval

Dr.  Lynn's  health  has  been  much  improved 
since  he  went  to  the  country. 

Professor  R.  Winslow  sailed  for  Panama  July 
13.  He  expects  to  be  gone  25  days.  He  was 
not  able  to  stop  at  Santiago,  owing  to  the  quar- 
antine regulations  prevailing  at  this  time  in 
Cuba.  It  will  be  a  great  disappointment,  we 
feel  sure,  to  the  "boys"  there,  who  would  have 
given  him  a  warm  welcome. 

Miss  Kate  Flannigan,  formerly  superintendent 
of  nurses  at  University  Hospital,  has  recently 
been    on    a    visit    to  Baltimore.     She  is  now  in

erate at  Wrightsville  Beach,  near  Wilmington, 
N.  C,  and  then  at  his  home  at  Mooresville, 
N.  C,  for  a  time,  before  taking  a  permanent 
location. 

Dr.  L.  E.  McD-iniel,  me.iicil  interne  at  the

land. It  is  well  known  that  Dr.  Dunglison  held 
the  chair  of  Materia  Medica,  Hygiene  and  Medi- 
cal Jurisprudence  here  from  1833  to  1836,  com- 
ing from  the  University  of  Virginia,  which  he 
helped  to  found,  in  the  former  year  and  going  to 
Jefferson  Medical  College  in  the  latter. 

Ernest  Zueblin  (M.D.  Lausanne,  Switzerland) 
has  been  elected  to  the  professorship  of  Medicine 
in  the  University,  succeeding  Professor  Charles 
W.  Mitchell,  in  charge  of  that  department.  Dr.

CHAPIN  A.  HARRIS  MEMORIAL 

The  Committee    h.iving   this  matter    in    hand 
has  issued    the    following   api)eal    to    the    dental 
manufacturers: 
Gentlemen :  — 

You  may  or  may  not  be  aware  of  the  move- 
ment on  foot  to  suitably  memorialize  the  life  and 
work  of  the  Father  of  Profession.!  Dentistry, 
Dr.  Chapin  A.  Harris. 

The  remains  of  this  illustiious"pion(  er  of  dent- 
istry now  lie  in  obscurity  an  one  of  the  cemeter- 
ies of  Baltimore,  the  gi'ave  l)ciiig  shamefully 
neglected,  difficult  of  access  and  poorly  marked. 

A  committee  appointed  by  the  President  of  the 
Maryland  State  Dental  Association,  more  than 
one  year  ago,  with  instructions  to  provide  ways 
and  means  by  which  to  accomplish  this  most 
worthy  and  desirable  object,  is  composed  of  the

fallowing:  W.  G.  Foster,  chairman;  W.  W. 
Dunbracco,  secretary;  H.  A.  Wilson,  treasurer; 
M.  G.  Sykes,  B.  Holly  Smith,  T.  0.  Heatwole 
and  J.  W.  Smith. 

Already  the  treasurer  has  in  hand  several 
hundred  dollars,  some  of  which  comes  from 
members  of  the  profession  abroad,  with  still 
more  promised  by  these  foreign  brethren. 

It  is  the  purpose  of  the  committee  to  raise  a 
sum  of  considerable  proportions,  feeling  that  the 
cause  is  deserving  of  the  best  efforts  yet  made  to 
commemorate  the  life  and  work  of  any  one  man 
who  has  ever  labored  in  the  field  of  dentistry. 

In  addition  to  the  general  appeal  being  made 
to  the  profession  at  large,  you,  as  a  manufacturer 
of  dental  supplies,  are  not  being  overlooked.  The 
achievement  of  Dr.  Chapin  A.  Harris  and  the 
further  development  of  his  plans  since  his  de- 
mise, have  resulted  in  the  commercial  advantages 
which  yon  now  enjoy.  Surely,  his  marvelous 
foresight  and  forceful  character  have  touched  even 
your  life,  and  as  a  token  of  your  appreciation  of 
this  fact  are  you  not  ready  and  willing  to  make 
a  liberal  contribution  towards  the  erection  of  a 
monument  to  one  whose  worth  and  contribution 
to  science  are  everywhere  recognized,  but  not  as 
yet  suita-jly    memorialized? 

Send  contributions  to  Dr.  H.  A.  Wilson, 
treasurer,  Calvert  Bank  Building,  Baltimore, 
Md.,  and  please  do  this  promptly. 


SIR  WALTER   SCOTT'S  LAMENESS. 

By  the  Editor. 
That  is  a  very  natural  curiosity  which  seeks  to 
know  the  appearance  and  physical  traits  of  great 
men.  Models  to  us,  as  respects  their  deeds  and 
characters,  we  are  apt  to  associate  with  such 
superiority,  a  preeminence  also  in  corporeal  at- 
tributes. Instinctively,  as  we  read  the  record  of 
their  lives,  we  frame  in  our  minds  some  definite 
personal  images  of  them.  In  the  effort  to  do 
this  we  grasp  eagerly  at  any  hint  as  to  feature, 
height,  bodily   frame,    voice,    gait,    etc.     Their

sicknesses  and  deformities  have  a  peculiar  inter- 
est for  us,  and  one  by  no  means  solely  medical, 
for  they  often  supply  us  with  the  otherwise  miss- 
ing physical  details,  and  they  throw  much  light 
upon  temperament,  sentiments  and  character. 

Few  of  our  literary  heroes  have  acquired  so 
great  a  popularity  as  the  great  Scotch  novelist. 
His  writings  are  familiar  to  all  who  read  and  all 
are,  therefore,  interested  in  his  personal  history. 
For  such  a  study  we  have  very  ample  details  in 
the  Life  of  him  by  his  son-in-law,  J.  G.  Lockhart. 
This  is  enriched  by  his  own  autobiography,  full 
extracts  from  his  diary  and  the  personal  recol- 
lections of  his  associate^,  furnishing  a  most  cop- 
ious and  reliable  field  for  our  investigation. 

In  the  autobiographical  notes  (1826),  compris- 
ing forty-five  pages  in  the  first  volume  of  the 
Life,  Sir  Walter  gives  details  regarding  his 
family  and  ancestry  for  many  generations,  but 
he  makes  no  reference  to  ailments  and  diseases 
from  which  they  suffered,  and,  as  far  as  this  section 
of  the  work  is  concerned, we  are  left  entirely  in  the 
dark  as  to  his  hereditary  predispositions.  But 
in  his  last  years,  when  his  cerebral  breakdown  is 
beginning,  his  diary  tells  us  that  both  of  his  par- 
ents died  of  "strokes  of  paralysis,"  and  Lockhart 
also  informs  us  that  his  eldest  brother  expired  of 
the  same  cause.  While  a  student  at  Edinburgh 
College  he  had  a  hemorrhage  from  the  bowels,  and 
in  1829  he  had  a  hemorrhage  from  the  kidneys, 
"took  to  making  blood  instead  of  water,"  as  he 
expressed  it.  During  the  last  six  years  of  his 
life  he  suffered  a  great  deal  from  rheumatism, 
and  was  much  annoyd  with  what  he  called 
"chillblains"  of  the  fingers.  Hij  death  was  due 
to  softening  of  the  brain.  We  note  also  that  bis 
father,  whose  name  was  likewise  Walter,  had  a 
numerous  family  of  twelve  children,  only  five  of 
whom  survived  very  early  youth.  There  is  no 
explanation  given  for  this  unusual  mortality 

He  was  "an  uncommonly  healthy  child,"  but 
had  nearly  died  in  consequence  of  his  first  nurse 
being  affected  with  the  consumption.  This  was, 
fortunately,  discovered  and  made  known  by  a 
medical  friend  of  the  family  whom  she  consulted 
and  the  infant  was  transferred  to  the  care  of  a 
healthy  peasant. 

I  pause  a  moment  to  dwell  upon  the  evidence 
here  afforded  of  a  belief  at  that  time  in  the  com- 
municability  of  consumption.  Sir  Walter  speaks 
as  though  he  would   certainly  have   perished   of

the  disease  had  it  not  been  discovered  and  tlie 
woman  dismissed. 

He  showed  every  ?ign  of  health  and  strength 
until  lie  was  about  eighteen  months  old.  He 
describes  the  attack  which  he  then  had  as  fol- 
lows: "One  night,  I  have  been  often  told,  I 
showed  great  reluctance  to  be  caught  and  put  in 
bed,  and  after  being  chased  about  the  room,  was 
apprehended  and  consigned  to  my  dormitory 
with  some  difficulty.  It  was  the  last  time  I  was 
to  show  such  personal  agility.  In  the  morning 
I  was  discovered  to  be  affected  with  the  fever  which 
often  accompanies  the  cutting  of  large  teeth.  It 
held  me  three  days.  On  the  fourth,  when  they 
went  to  bathe  me,  as  usual,  they  discovered  that 
I  had  lost  the  power  of  my  right  log."  Physi- 
cians were  consulted,  among  them  his  own  grand- 
father, Dr.  John  Rutherford,  professor  of  medi- 
cine in  the  University  of  E  liuburgh.  No  locai 
injury  or  other  cause  for  the  paralysis  could  be 
fotmd.  At  first  blisters  and  other  topical  rem- 
elies  were  employed  under  the  direction  of 
regular  physicians  and  when  the  resoui-ces  of 
these  were  exhausted  without  improvement,  the 
services  of  empirics  and  even  of  "ancient  ladies 
and  gentlemen"  who  had  any  suggestion  to  off i  r 
were  for  many  years  eagerly  availed  of.  Fortu- 
nately, the  grandfather's  ad  vfce  that  he  be  taken 
to  a  farmhouse  in  the  neighl)orhood  of  Edin^ 
burgh,  was  followed.  Here  began  his  first  recol- 
lections, and  he  tells  how,  in  accordance  with  a 
recommendation  that  some  one  had  made,  as 
often  as  a  sheep  was  killed  for  the  use  of  tJie 
family,  he  was  stripped  and  swathed  up  in  tlie 
skin,  warm,  as  it  was  Hayed  from  the  carcass  of 
the  animal.  "In  this  Tartar-like  habiliment,  I 
well  remember  lying  upon  the  floor  of  the  little 
parlor  in  the  farm  house,  while  my  grandfather" 
(not  the  doctor,  but  his  other  grandfather)  "a 
venerable  old  man  with  white  hair,  used  every 
excitement  to  make  me  try  to  crawl."  He  also 
remembered  an  old  military  gentleman,  in  a 
cocked  hat,  scarlet  waistcoat,  "with  milk-white 
locks  tied  in  a  military  fasliion,"  kneeling  be- 
fore him  and  dragging  his  watch  along  the  car- 
pet to  induce  him  to  follow  it.  "The  benevolent 
old  soldier  and  the  infant  wrapped  in  his  sheep- 
skin would  have  afforded  an  odd  group  to  unin- 
terested spectators."  This  was  about  his  third 
year. 

Amid    Such    surroundings    his      health      and 


strength  began  to  irrprove.  When  the  day  was 
fine  he  used  to  be  carried  out  jind  laid  beside  the 
old  shepherd,  among  the  crags  and  rocks,  where 
he  fed  his  sheep.  Although  the  limb  was  much 
shrunk  and  contracted,  he  began  to  stand,  to 
walk  and  run,  and  after  a  time,  became  a  healthy, 
high-spirited  and  sturdy  child.  As  he  grew  to 
manhood,  "tall  and  muscular,"  his  lameness 
became  rather  a  disfigurement  than  a  disability. 
He  took  much  exercise  on  horseback,  and  be- 
came a  great  pedestrian,  thinking  nothing  of 
walking  twenty  or  thirty  miles  a  day  among  the 
highlands. 

The  following  is  a  description  of  his  personal 
appearance  at  the  age  of  twenty:  "Young 
Walter  Scott  was  a  comely  creature.  He  had 
outgrown  the  sallowness  of  early  ill  health,  and 
liad  a  fresh,  brilliant  comf>lexion.  His  eyes 
were  clear,  open  and  well  set,  with  a  changeful 
radiance,  to  which  teeth  of  the  most  perfect  reg- 
ularity and  whiteness  lent  their  assistance,  while 
the  noble  expanse  and  elevation  of  the  brow  gave 
to  the  whole  aspect  a  dignity  far  above  the  charm 
of  mere  features.  His  smile  was  always  delight- 
ful, and  I  can  easily  fancy  the  peculiar  intermix- 
ture of  tenderness  and  giavity,  \\i\h  plajful, 
innocent  hiliarity  and  humor  in  the  expression 
as  being  well  calculated  to  fix  a  fair  lady's 
eye.  His  figure,  excepting  the  blemish  in  one 
limb,  must,  in  those  days,  have  been  eminently 
handsome;  tall,  nmch  above  the  usual  standard, 
it  was  cast  in  the  very  mold  of  a  young  Hercules, 
the  head  set  on  with  singular  grace,  the  throat 
and  cliest  after  the  truest  model  of  the  antique, 
the  hands  delicately  finished,  the  wliole  outline 
that  of  extraordinary  vigor,  without  as  yet  a 
touch  of  clumsiness.  When  lie  iiad  acquired  a 
little  facility  of  m  inner,  his  co)n\r-ation  must 
have  been  such  as  could  have  dispL'used  with 
any  exterior  a  Wantage's,  and  certainly  brought 
swift  forgiveness  for  the  one  unkindnoss  of 
nature." 

The  disease  of  which  Sir  Walter  suH^ered  in  his 
infancy,  as  described  above,  and  to  which  he 
owed  his  permanent  lameness,  is  one  well  known 
to  the  medical  profession  as  "infantile  spinal 
paralysis."  It  is  the  most  c  mimon  form  of 
paralysis  in  young  children,  is  to  be  met  every- 
where, and  a  large  proportion  of  "the  maimed 
and  halt"  owe  their  deformity  to  it.  It  is  the 
most  common  cause  of  "club  foot."     We  owe

our  first  accurate  knowledge  of  it  to  Von  Heine 
in  1840,  but  it  was  twenty-five  years  later  before 
actual  discovery  was  made  of  the  characteristic 
lesions  of  the  spinal  cord  by  Prevost,  I^ockhart 
Clarke,  Charcot  and  Joffroy.  Thus,  it  was  not 
until  about  sixty  years  or  more  after  Sir  Walter 
was  atliicted  that  the  anatomical  relations  of  the 
disease  were  made  known.  There  is  no  doubt 
that  it  is  an  acute  infectious  disease  although 
the  causative  micro-organism  has  not  yet  been 
discovered.  It  is  spread  by  contact  with  those 
affected. 

It  is  to  be  regretted  that  we  have  not  a  parti- 
cular and  detailed  account  of  the  deformity  and 
disablement  from  which  Sir  Walter  suffered. 
In  the  engraving  prefixed  to  the  Life,  which  was 
copied  from  an  oil  painting  by  Sir  H.  Eaeburn, 
made  in  1808,  there  is  no  evidence  whatever  of 
shrinkage  or  deformity,  but  doubtless  the 
maimed  member  is  on  the  side  furthest  away, 
and  thus  more  or  less  hidden  from  view.  It  is 
also  to  be  noted  that  the  posture  is  a  sitting  one 
— the  most  favorable  for  concealment.

In  their  fragrance,  and  have  striven 
For  the  pleasure  that  the  honey

A  DOCTOR  AS   SEEN    THROUGH    HIS 

VISITING  LISTS.    MEMORANDA  OF 

DR.  FRANCIS  DONALDSON,  '46. 

Dr.  Donald.^on  was  one  of  the  most  eminent  of 
Maryland  physicians.  He  was  born  in  Balti- 
more on  July  23,  1823,  and  died  here,  Decemher 
9,  1891.  He  hegan  his  medical  studies  in  the 
ofHce  of  Dr.  S.  C.  Chew  in  18 i2,  and  during  the 
following  four  years  attended  lectures  at  the 
Univer.-ity  and  pur.«ued  clinical  investigation  at 
the  City  Alm=house  under  Dr.  Thomas  H.  Buck- 
ler. From  IS  to  to  184S,  he  was  in  Paris,  from 
1818  to  1850  he  was  resident  physician  to  the 
Marine  Hospital,  Baltimore,  commencing  priva'e 
practice  in  the  city  in  the  latter  year.  From 
1866  to  1888  he  held  a  professorship  in  this 
University. 

Shortly  after  Dr.  Donaldson's  decease,  there 
came  into  the  posses.sion  of  the  writer  a  numher 
of  the  deceased  physician's  visiting  lists,  some  of 
which  I  am  sorry  to  say  have,  in  consequence  of 
various  removals,  been  lost.  Those  that  remain 
represent  the  years  from  185o  to  1890,  except 
1860  and  18;)1.  When  these  records  began  Dr. 
Donaldson  was  31  years  old,  and  had  been  prac- 
ticing six  and  a  half  years.  He  resided  then  at 
31  Fra  ikliu  street.  The  news  items  are  mostly 
under  the  head  of  memoranda  at  the  end  of  the 
hooks.  Let  us  take  up  the  earliest  volume — for 
1855. 

In  the  first  page  he  has  written  tbe  initials  of 
himself  and  his  wifp — V.  D.  and  E.  W., — and  the 
fullowiiig  dates,  which  seem  to  be  the  dates  of 
his  marriage  and  tlie  births  of  hi"  children: 
"May  K;,  1818,  March  20,  1819,  Nov.  13,  1850, 
J.in.  18,  1853,  Jan.  18,  1855." 

During  tiie  month  of  January  be  records  from 
eleven  to  twenty  visits  a  day,  and  the  names  of 
liis  patients  show  that  his  practice  was  even 
then  among  the  best  classes.

THE  LATIN  CLASSICS. 
IV.     MARTIAL. 

BY  THE  LATE  ROBERT  B.   MORISON,  M.  D.,    '74. 

[Martial's  epigrams,  A.D.  40-90,  are  terse  and 
sharp,  often  very  beautiful.  They  are  the  reflec- 
tion of  the  daily  life  of  him  and  of  his  friends, 
of  whom  he  had  a  few;  and  of  his  enemies,  of 
whom  he  had  many.  A  fulsome  flatterer  of  the 
Caesars,  he  delighted  in  tearing  almost  everyone 
else  to  pieces.  He  must  have  been  a  thorn  in 
the  flesh  to  many,  who  were  afraid  to  run  up 
against  his  sharp  wit.  No  one  perhaps  ever 
equaled  him  in  concentrating  so  much  in  a  few 
lines  so  that  every  word  tells  and  none  are 
superfluous.] 
Ad  Lector  em. 

Behold  him  whom  you  read,  the  one  whom 
you  ask  for,  that  Martial  known  all  the  world 
over  for  his  bright  epigrammatic  lampoons,  to 
whom,  0  studious  reader,  you]  have  given  the 
honor  of  everlasting  life  and  sentiment,  which  is 
rare  even  to  the  ashes  of  a  poet. 

Non  amo  te,  Sabidi,  nee  possum  dicere  quare; 
Hoc  tantum  possum  dicere,  non  amo  te.  Epigram 
xxxiii. 

Copied  into  English  by  Tom  Brown,  1663- 
1704,  viz.,  with  no  reference  to  Martial: 

I  do  not  love  thee  Dr.  Fell, 

1  he  reason  why  I  cannot  tell. 

But  this  alone  I  know  fuU  well, 

I  do  not  love  thee  Dr.  Fell. 
And  in  French  by  Bussy: 

Je  ne  vous  aime  pas,  Hylas. 

Je  n'en  saurois  dire  la  cause; 

Je  sais  seidement  une  chose, 

Cest  que  je  ne  vom  aime  pas. 
Diaulus  was  a   surgeon;    he  is  now  a    bearer 
of  the  dead  (vespillo*).     Only  thus   was    he    of 
use  to  those  visiting  his  clinic, 

*  Vespillo,  a  slave  appointed  to  carry  out  the  dead, 
from  vesper,  as  the  function  was  performed  in  the  even- 
ing. 


And  again, 

Diaulus  Was  a  pliysician,  he  is  at  present 
vespillo;  he  finishes  as  vespilliun  what  he  began 
as  physician. 

De  Fedo. 

Your  throat  is  attacked  by  a  cruel,  remorse- 
lessly consuming  malady,  which  is  making  fatal 
progress  upon  your  face,  0  Festus,  without  caus- 
ing a  single  tear  from  you  to  console  your  weep- 
ing friends,  &nd  you  are  mindful  of  visiting  the 
banks  of  the  river  Styx.  Formerly  no  spot  of 
an  obscure  poison  soiled  your  venerable  lips, 
leaving  the  awful  fear  of  hunger  to  accomplish 
its  sad  destiny.  You  are  acting  as  becomes  a 
Roman  who  ends  his  days  without  reproach  and 
who  nobly  sets  flight  to  his  soul.  Such  a  death 
is  hardly  below  that  of  the  great  Cato.  Festus 
was  the  friend  of  Caesar. 

Ad  Pannicum. 

I  like  not  your  hair  in  fancy  shape  nor  do  I 
like  it  dishevelled  I  do  not  wish  your  skin  to 
shine,  I  do  not  want  it  dirty.  May  your  beard 
not  a  turban- wearer's  be  or  that  of  a  criminal. 
I  do  not  like  an  air  too  manly  nor  one  too  femi- 
nine. Your  legs  are  downey,  your  chest  is  brist- 
ling with  hair;  but  your  soul  is  barren,  0  Panni- 

cus! 

D3  Gernello. 

Gemellus  offers  to  marry  Maronilla;  he  is  pas- 
sionate, he  adjures,  he  sends  presents.  Is  she  of 
unsurpassed  beauty?  On  the  contrary,  notiiing 
could  be  more  hideous.  \Vhat  does  he  find  in 
her  so  attractive,  so  seductive?  She  has  a  tickling 
cough. 

Ad  Julium. 

As  for  life's  pleasures  they  wait  not,  they  fl^^^ 
they  vanish.  Seize  them  then  with  both  hands, 
press  them  tightly  in  your  arms;  often  they  escape 
your  breast.  It  is  not  believe  me  for  a  wise 
man  to  say:  "1  will  live."  The  life  of  to-mor- 
row is  too  late:    live  to  day. 

Ad  rrorillum. 

A  man  with  too  good  a  memory. 

Last  night  I  said  to  you,  Procilkn,  after  I 
had  drunken,  I  iielieve,  ten  measures,  that  you 
should  sup  with  me  today.  You  regarded  this 
as  sometiiing  upon  which  you  could  depenil  and

De  TongUio  viorbum  simulante. 

It  is  wrong  to  say  that  Toiigilius  burns  with  a 
fever.  I  know  the  nature  of  the  man;  lie  is 
hungry  and  thirsty.  Snmetimes  snares  are  set 
with  care  for  the  fender  thrush;  then  the  hook 
is  thrown  to  the  mullet  and  pike.  The  Caecuban 
wine!  How  well  the  Caecuban  wine  is  clarified, 
especially  all  that  matured  in  the  ytar  of  Opi- 
mus;  how  carefully  are  preserved  the  small 
flasks  of  the  deep-colored  Falernian  !  All  phy- 
sicians have  prescribed  diluents  for  Tongilius. 
Oh  thou  fool!  you  credit  it  to  fever,  it  is  glut- 
tony. 

Ad  Apicum. 

You  have  already  absorbed  in  your  time  six 
million  measures;  there  remain  still  a  million 
at  least.  Nevertheless,  overcome  with  vexation 
because  this  is  not  enough  to  protect  you  from 
hunger  and  thirst,  you  resort  to  poison  for  a  last 
drink.  Nothing,  in  fact,  could  be  more  glutton- 
ous,  0  Apieus. 

Ad  Phebum. 

Use  lettuce  and  soft  mallows,  Phebus,  for  you 
have  the  face  of  constipation. 

In  Malum  Medicum. 

You  are  now  a  physician  having  been  a  gladia- 
tor. You  act,  as  a  physician,  just  like  a  gladia- 
tor. 

De  Chloe. 

Upon  each  of  the  tombs  of  the  seven  husbands 
whom  she  has  buried,  the  famous  Chloe  writes 
that  this  was  her  work.  Could  anything  show 
more  simplicity !

My  Dear  Sir: 

Herewith  I  am  enclosing  copy  of  my  speech, 
"The  Part  Played  by  Fort  McHenry  and  'The 
Star  Spangled  Banner'  in  Our  Second  War  with 
Great  Britain." 

I  am  convinced  that  histo:ians  generally  liave 
failed  toaccoid  to  the  victory  atBaltinjore  tlie  im- 
p  'rtance  it  deserves.  Nor  liave  they  accurately 
e.-tiinated  the  decidedly  faAoi'able  moral  influ- 
ence exerted  by  the  stirring  anthem  which  that 
victory  inspired. 

If  I  shall  have  succeeiled  in  some  measure  in 
directing  tardy  recognition  to  the  far  reaching 
importance  of  the  victory  at  Baltimore,  and  the 
value  at  that  time  of  Key's  song,  I  shall  feel  am- 
ply repaid  for  my  efforts  in  compiling  this  ad- 
dress. Very  respectfully  yours, 

J.  Chas.  Linthicum.

My  dear  Professor  Cordell: 
I  have  never  seen  the  addresses  of  any  of  the  New 
Ei  gland  graduates  you  were  going  to  send  me, 
but  trust  you  have  been  too  busy  to  obtain  them. 
I  am  sending  you  a  copy  of  the  last  issue  of 
the  Providence  Medical  Journal,  with  special  ref- 
erence to  the  dedication  of  the  Rhode  Island 
Medical  Society's  new  Library  and  Home.  There 
is  something  I  have  marked  on  p.  149,  which 
pleased  me  when  I  read  it,  to  think  that  our 
dear  professors  are  not  forgotten.  Kindly  read 
Professor  Jacobi's  address, also  the  address  of  Dr. 
F.  T.  Rogers.  When  you  finish,  will  you  kindly 
forward  it  to  Professor  Woods,  with  my  best 
wishes,  and  ask  him  to  read  Dr.  Rogers' addrcBS, 
as  I  am  sure  they  are  acquainted  with  each 
other.  With  kind  regards  to  all  and  best  wishes, 
I  am  Yours  fraternally,

Dear  doctor  Cordell : 

You  may  remember  that  some  months  ago  I 
expressed  to  you  my  pleasure  at  having  discov- 
ered, along  with  many  others,  some  older,  many 
of  a  more  recent  date,  the  thesis  of  my  grand- 
father, .James  Cockrill,  of  the  class  of  1836,  on 
the  library  shelves  in  Davidge  Hall.

OLD  MARYLAND. 


How  excellent  is  the  state  ot  preservation  of 
these  truly  interesting  manu,-cripts. 

Is  it  not  quite  probable  that  manj'  of  the  des- 
Cendents  of  these  old  gentlemen  would  alsobe  in- 
terested in  these  early  efforts  and  enjoy  reading 
them,  if  they  were  aware  of  their  existence  aud 
accessibility  ?  I  think  so.  Their  attention 
Could  be  attracted  by  a  short  notice  placed  in 
Old'  Maryland  and  in  the  Bulletin  issued  by  the 
Med.  and  Ohi.  faculty. 

I  maile  a  flying  visit  to  the  laboratories  at 
Woods  Hole,  Mass.,  recently  and  enjoyed  agiin 
seeing  many  of  my  friends  of  last  summer.  Dr. 
LihtOn,  thepafasitologi't,  Loeb,  the  physiolog- 
ist',''DrS'!'' Tike,  Lilly,  McCallum,  Meigs,  the 
'smooth  muscle  man',  and  many  others  were 
again  in  their  old  places.  The  last  received  me 
niost'&rdialiy  in  his  little  ten  by  twelve  vrork- 
room.  Another  example  of  a  big  man  doing  big 
work  with  little  apparatus. 

I  thought  at  this  time  of  our  very  complete 
and  up  to-date  outfit,  for  laboratory  teaching  of 
physiology  at  the  University  of  Md.  Summer 
work  suggested  itself  to  me. 

You  once  asked  me  what  was  my  opinion  in 
regard  to  the  equipment  in  this  department.  I 
have  already  partly  answered  your  question.  I 
have  a  very  good  opinion  of  it.  It  is  quite  com- 
plete and  is  of  the  well-known  'Harvard  Appa- 
ratus Co.'  make.  The  world  owes  Dr.  \Vm.  H. 
Porter  a  debt  of  gratitude  for  his  genius  dis- 
played in  this  work,  as  well  as  for  liis  valuable 
scientific  contributions. 

I  recall,  quite  clearly,  the,  in  comparison,  very 
cluKsy  apparatus  uped  by  the  students  when  I 
studied  under   Shaefer,  at  Edinburgh,  Scotland. 

We  are  however  somwhat  handicapped  in  our 
facilities  for  caring  for  our  warm-blooded  ani- 
mals, before  and  after  experimental  demonstra- 
tions; but  by  exercising,  a  little  ingenuity  and 
witha  ismall'amount  of  extra  work,  it  has  been 
possible  10  do  quite  well  in  the  past. 

Again,  we  have  been  short  of  demonstrators. 
It  is. ray  firm  opinion  that  there  should  be  one 
to  every  ten  st\idents  and  that  this  one  should  stick 
to  the  set  he  starts  out  with.  Come  over  some 
afternoon  and  call  on  us  next  term. 

I  t.ope  to.  have  definite  news  concerning  the 
gift  of  the  new  Enc.  Prit.  to  the  library  this 
coming  month.  I  am  optimistic.  With  best 
wishes,  I  am  sincerely,      Albert  IT  Carroll.

It  may  be  imagined  with  what  joy  the  news  of 
the  American  victory  at  Baltimore  was  received, 
r.iT  the  glad  tidings  were  passed  from  farmhouse 
to  farmhouse  or  carried  from  villyge  to  village  by 
the  post  rider  or  the  stagecoach.  The  confidence 
of  the  Americ;  n  people  in  their  ability  to  protect 
themselves  was  restored,  and  British  military 
prestige  received  a  shock  destined  to  be  the  pre- 
cursor of  the  defeat  befcre  Plattsburg,  and  later 

of  overwhelming  disaster  at  New  Orleans. 
***** 

Contemporaneous  with  the  victory  at  Balti- 
more was  the  appearance  of  Key's  song,  "The 
Star  Spangled  Banner,"  tiie  inspiring  strains 
and  popular  melody  of  which  brought  it  at  once 
into  unanimous  favor.  The  country  needed  a 
national  song  to  give  expression  to  its  patriotism. 
It  wanted  only  the  event  to  produce  it,  and  that 
e*ent  was  furnished  in  the  attack  ou  Baltimore. 
This  Eong  of  Key's  aroused  the  dormant  patriot- 
ism of  the  Nation,  for  human  nature  could  not 
withstand  its  irresistable  appeal  to  the  love  of 
country.  It  lifted  the  national  spirit  from  the 
vale  of  gloom  and  despair  in  which  it  had  been 
floundering  to  the  sunlit  heights  of  confidence 
and  victory.  It  heralded  the  dawn  of  a  new  day 
to  our  Federal  Government.  In  moral  ralue  it 
was  worth  ten  thousand  bayonets. — Hon.  J.  Chas.

Medicine  is  the  most  difficult  of  sciences  and 
the  most  laborious  of  arts.  It  will  task  all  your 
powers  of  body  and  mind  if  you  are  faithful  to 
it.  Do  not  dabble  in  the  muddy  sewer  of  poli- 
tics, nor  linger  by  the  enchanted  streams  of  lit- 
erature, nor  dig  in  far-off  fields  for  the  hidden 
waters  of  alien  sciences.  The  great  practitioners 
are  generally  those  who  concentrate  all  their 
powers  on  their  business. — Holmes.

a  pamphlet  entitled  "J  Study  of  the  Synchroncus 
Heart  Brat  and  Respiration  in  the  Mustelus  Canis 
{Dogfish)."  It  contains  observations  made  at 
the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Fisheries  Laboratories, 
Woods  Hole,  Mass.,  in  the  summer  of  1911,  viz: 
that  the  heart  beat  and  respiration  in  the  resting 
dogfish  are  concurrent,  i.e.,  have  a  ratio  of  1  to 
1.  Such  a  ratio  has  been  reported  in  a  man 
with  advanced  organic  heart  disease.  Dr.  Car- 
roll explains  the  fact  cited  by  a  dependence  of 
the  normal  heart  beat  on  changes  in  the  intra- 
pericardial  pres?ure  brought  about  mechanically 
at  each  respiration.  Tlie  paper  which  is  a  re-

The  memoranda  of  Professor  Frank  Doncddson 
which  we  commence  today  show,  as  hardly  any- 
thing else  could,  the  beautiful  character  of  their 
author.  How  his  winning  smile  hovers  about  us, 
how  we  recall  his  kindly  interest  in  us,  his  stu- 
dents, how  the  genial  personality,  the  indescrib- 
able tqiift  of  his  presence,  the  true  greni^emanli- 
ness  of  the  man,  loom  up  through  the- years ! 
These  hastily  dotted  notes,  never  intended  to  see 
the  light,  are  uneering  proofs  of  his  conscientious- 
ness, his  purity,  his  love  of  family,  of  his  pro- 
fession, of  his  country  and  his  strong  religious 
sentiment.  We  ought  to  be  proud  to  have  had 
such  men,  such  teachers,  such  leaders  and  mould- 
ers of  youth  in  this  University.  This  is  the 
truest  element  of  institutional  greatness.

Diagnostic  Methods,  Chemical,  Bacteriological  and 
Microscopiccd.  By  Ralph  \V.  Webster,  M.  D., 
Ph.D.,  Assistant  Professor  University  of  Chicago. 
2d  Ed.,    Phila.  1912,  P.  Blakiston'sSon  and  Co. 

The  2d  edition  preserves  fully  the  excellence 
of  this  work.  That  the  revision  has  been  thor- 
ough and  e.xhaustive  appears  from  the  list  of  ad- 
ditions and  alterations.  We  may  particularly 
mention  new  methods  of  staining  the  tubercle 
bacilli  and  spirochaela  pallida,  tests  for  gastric 
carcinoma  and  functional  activity  of  the  kidneys, 
etc.  As  far  as  we  have  been  able  to  see,  the  work 
represents  all  that  is  best  in  the  wide  subject  of 
which  it  treats  and  will  long  be  among  the  highest 
authorities  accessible  to  the  student  and  prac- 
t  tioner. 


The  following  letter  has  an  interest  in  view  of 
the  questions  now  before  the  Fegents: 

State  of  Maryland,  Court  of  Appeals, 

Annapolis,  Dec.  5,  1902. 
Dr.  Eugene  F.  Cordell,  Baltimore; 
My  dear  Sir : 
I  beg  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  your  letter 
of  the  3d  inst.  concerning  the  University  of 
Maryland.  It  is  quite  liktly  that  a  concentra- 
tion of  power  in  the  management  would  be  of 
advantage. 

It  will  give  me  much  pleasure  to  aid  as  far  as 
in  my  power  any  scheme  for  raising  an  endow- 
ment fund.  I  suppose  that  the  matters  you  re- 
fer to  will  be  brought  before  a  full  meeting  of  all 
the  Regents. 

When  that  is  done  I  do  not  think  you  will 
find  that  those  of  the  Law  Faculty  are  re-action- 
aries.  Yours  faithfully, 

W.  T.  Br.^ntly.

In  the  death  of  Mr.  John  Wirt  Randall  (LL.D.

on  Aug.  16,  St.  John's  College  and  the  Univer- 
sity lose  one  of  their  best  and  most  useful  friends. 
In  origin,  association  and  work,  he  was  a  thor- 
ough Marylander.  His  activities  were  manifold 
— he  was  lawyer,  statesman,  banker,  church- 
man and  literateur.  He  was  President  of  the

of  Law  Examiners.  He  had  served  in  both 
branches  of  the  Legislature  and  through  his  ef- 
forts Arbor  Day  was  instituted.  To  him  was 
due  the  plan  of  affiliation  between  the  University 
and  St.  John's.  He  wrote  several  valuable  his- 
torical articles  and  was  Historiographer  of  the 
P.  E.  Convention  of  Maryland.  The  St.  John's 
Ode  was  composed  by  him.  The  funeral  :ook

The  10th  Edition  of  Prof.  Simon's  Chemistry 
has  appeared  under  the  revi^ion  of  Prof.  Daniel 
Base,  of  the  C:hair  of  Analytical  Chemistry 
of  the  University.  The  same  plan  is  followed  as 
in  previous  editions,  ^'umerous  additions  have 
been  made.  Ionic  relations  are  fully  discussed 
and  a  number  of  compounds,  many  of  medical 
interest,  have  been  introduced.  The  section  on 
physiological  chemistry  has  been  re-written  and 
clinical  diagnosis  has  been  kept  fully  in  view  in 
methods  employed.  "Simon"  is  an  old  standby 
and  it  has  lost  none  of  its  value  to  the  student 
in  Base's  revisions.

Professor  Van  Leersum,  of  the  University  of 
Leyden,  has  placed  us  under  obligations  by  a 
copy  of  his  essay  entitled  "How  did  Boerhaave 
Speak?"  taken  from  the  historical  journal 
"Janus,"  of  which  he  is  joint  editor.  Boer- 
haave, the  greatest  light  of  the  Leyden  school, 
has  been  praised  in  extravagant  language.  For 
the  verification  of  the  truth  of  history,  there- 
fore, it  is  matter  for  congratulation  that  the  very 
words — ipsissima  verba — of  the  great  teacher  have 
been  preserved  for  us.  For  nine  years  a  careful 
shorthand  report  of  his  lectures  was  made  by 
his  pupil  (ierard  van  Swieten,  of  Vienna, 
afterwards  embodied  in  his  famous  "Commenta- 
ries." The  style  of  the  stenographic  notes  is 
simple  and  una   ected. 

Professor  Leersum  gives  a  photographic  repre- 
sentation of  the  first  page  of  the  notes,  with  the 
deciphered  text.  We  quote  a  specimen:  "Ad-

To  Dr.  Xathan  Winslov;  the  library  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Medicine  is  indebted  in  the  highest  de- 
gree and  we  wiint  liim  to  feel  that  his  gifts  are 
thoroughly  iippa  ciated.  No  one  has  done  so 
much  for  it  during  the  last  two  years  and  his 
contriliutions  have  been  exactly  in  that  direction 
in  which  we  are  most  in  need  and  most  lielpless 
— in  the  additioi  of  new  books.  But  for  his 
continued  and  generous  interest,  the  libi-ary 
would  be  almost  at  a  standstill.  The  case  origi- 
nally set  apart  for  the  "\^'inslow  Collection"  has 
been  filled  and  a  Second  case  is  being  rapidly  oc- 
cupied. Dr.  Winslow  has  not  retained  the  best 
for  himself  and  given  us  the  inferior  volumes, 
but  many  of  his  gifts  are  the  most  valuable  and 
important  that  have  been  published  recently. 

In  the  name  of  the  Medical  Faculty,  we  offer 
Dr.  Winslow  our  sincerest  thanks  and  acknowl- 
edgements and  wish  him  a  thoroughly  enjoyable 
holiday  trip,  richly  earned  by  the  most  assiduous 
devotion  to  his  many  duties  and  engagements 
during  the  past  year. 


The  Sun  praises  in  the  highest  terms  the  work 
of  Mr.  Mm.  F.  Broening  (LL.B.  '98),  who  was 
elected  State's  Attorney  last  Nov.  "He  is  no 
grave  and  pompous  official  obsessed  with  the 
idea  of  his  own  importance.  The  conciousntss 
of  the  importance  and  responsibility  of  his  office 
has  not  impaired  his  social  nature,  or  changed 
the  genial,  affable  manner  that  previously  char- 
acterized him.  A  all  times  ready  to  greet  his 
friends  with  a  cheery  smile  and  talk  with  them 
when  business  is  not  pressing,  he  is  a  public  of- 
ficial with  many  and  responsible  duties,  who  is 
nevertheless  a  jolly  good  fellow."

The  Regents  of  the  Universitj'  will  meet  Sept. 
25.  It  is  supposed  the  appoinment  of  a  Provost 
will  then  come  up  and  the  speakers  for  Acadnnic 
Day,  Nov.  11,  will  also  be  chosen.

Mr.  John  B.  Thomas  gives  a  very  charming  ac- 
count of  a  trip  which  he  took  to  Alaska  last 
Spring.  Among  other  things  he  met  on  the  ves- 
sel a  fellow  alumnus,  a  dental  man,  who  frater- 
nized most  cordially  with  him.  A  mock  trial 
enlivened  the  voyage.  We  have  tried  to  induce 
Mr.  T.  to  write  up  his  experience  for  our  readers 
but  his  modesty  proves  an  insuperable  obstacle. 


There  has  been  much  agitation  of  theques'ion 
of  the  Provost.-ihip  of  the  University  and  it  is 
gratifying  to  s^e  that  sentiment  is  crystalizing 
in  the  direction  of  common  sense  and  true  pmg- 
resp.  It  is  especially  encouraging  to  see  the  earn- 
est advocacy  of  an  active  and  n^t  a  mere  lionor- 
ary  Provost — such  as  ne  have  here  ofore  had — 
by  the  Dean  of  the  Medical  School.  As  the  ex- 
ecutive of  thst  department,  which  is  the  oldest 
and  most  important  in  the  Universitj',  his  opin- 
ion on  the  subject  must  carry  great  weight.  Dr. 
C.  is  reported  as  having  said  :  "If  the  Univert-ity 
is  to  hold  its  place  and  fill  the  wider  field  open- 
ing to  us  the  Provost  should  give  his  entire  time 
to  the  institution,  in  other  words  take  the  place 
that  the  Presidents  of  other  Universities  fill. 

It  is  not  to  be  denied  that  there  are  difficulties 
in  the  realization  of  this  proposal  but  they  are 
not  insuperable.  We  have  already  suggested  one 
plan  that  is  perfectly  feasible.  Why  not  elect 
the  President  of  St.  John's,  which  is  now*affilia- 
ted  with  us  as  the  Department  of  Arts  and  Sci- 
ences, to  the  position  ?  Let  Dr.  Fell  retain  his 
present  post  as  President  of  St.  John's — he  prob- 
ably would  not  be  willing  to  leave  it  anyway — 
and  let  him  assume  the  additional  one  of  Pro- 
vost, dividing  his  time  between  the  two,  having 
offices  at  both  Baltimore  and  Annapolis  and  look- 
ing after  the  institution  at  large  as  well  as  the 
more  limited  field  he  now  presides  over.  A  sub- 
stantial addition  could  be  made  to  his  salary, 
which  he  would  doubtless  be  willing  to  accept. 
This  addition  could  be  made  up  from  the  interest 
of  the  general  endowment  fund  already  in  hand 
and  small  appropriations  from  the  five  depart- 
ments. 

We  have  given  this  matter  Jong  and  earnest 
thought  and  this  plan  seems  to  us  the  only  way  by 
ivhich  ive  can  secure  the  urgently-needed  efflcient  and 
active  head.  We  commend  it,  therefore,  to  the 
members  of  the  Board  of  Regents  and  beg  them 
to  give  it  careful  and  serious  consideration.

The  union  of  the  three  Medkal  Colleges  is  still  be- 
ing discussed,  but  we  are  more  convinced  than 
ever  that,  as  far  as  we  are  concerned,  it  is  unde- 
sirable, even  if  practicable,  which  we  very  much 
doubt.  What  will  we  gain  by  it  ?  What  in- 
crease of  students,  what  accession  of  endow- 
ment are  to  be  expected  ?  The  expenses  for 
maintenance  will  certainly  be  greater;  will  the 
income  be  augmented  in  proportion  ?  Will  the 
other  schools  be  alile  to  deliver  their  students, 
will  the  attendance  continue  undiminished  ? 
What  property  have  they  ?  Is  it  encumbered  or 
not?  Is  it  convertible  into  cash,  if  it  should  be 
thought  best  to  sell  and  add  the  proceeds  to  the 
general  endowment  fund  ? 

Neither  of  the  two  schools  owns  its  hospital  ? 
Can  they  transfer  to  the  new  institution  the  use 
of  these?  What  is  the  legd  status  of  the  two 
Faculties  with  reference  to  these  ?  Will  the 
Methodists  who  now  own  the  Maryland  General 
Hospital  consent  that  that  shall  occupy  the 
same  relations  to  the  joint  institution  as  it  now 
occupies  to  the  Faculty  of  the  Baltimore  Medi- 
cal College?  Will  the  Sisters  of  Mercy  be  dis- 
posed to  turn  over  the  City  Hospital  ?  In  this 
connection  let  it  not  be  forgotten  that  they  for- 
merly conducted  University  Hospital  and  that 
the  relation  therewith  was  severed  in  a  way  not 
of  their  choice  or  such  as  to  allow  us  to  expect 
their  good  will  and  co-operation. 

What  about  endowment?  How  is  that  to  be 
raised  and  by  whom  ?  If  it  be  notlforthcoming, 
as  is  quite  likely  from  past  experience,  will  our 
condition  be  any  better  than  at  present  ? 

We  should  be  very  glad  if  anyone  could  give 
us  approximate  answers  to  the  above  questions. 

From  the  catalogues  of  the  three  schools,  we 
learn  that  the  total  of  the  three  faculties  is  205, 
and  some  arrangement  would  have  to  be  made 
regarding  these  individuals,  a  most  difticult 
problem .

successful  f-at  an  effort  will  be  made  by  the 
dentists  interested  to  continue  and  extend  them. 
Last  year  the  work  was  maintained  at  the  ex- 
pense of  the  dentists  but  this  year  they  will  at-k 
the  School  Board  and  the  Health  Department  to 
aid  it  financially.

locker  room.  It  is  situated  on  the  northwest 
corner  of  the  dental  building  and  is  about  30x40 
feet.  It  will  permit  a  better  schedule  of  lectures 
and  will  prove  most  acceptable  to  the  students, 
giving  them  a  very  agreeable  change  in  the  sit- 
tings. The  new  hall,  the  expense  of  whose 
equipment  has  most  generously  been  borne

In  their  "farewell"  the  Editorial  Staff  of  the 
Collcgidu  of  1912,  say:  "We  have  tried  to  print 
a  paper  containing  news  of  the  College,  and 
matters  of  i.iterest  to  alumni,  students  and 
friends.  Our  efforts  have  been  to  labor  for  the 
interests  and  welfare  of  St.  John's." 

In  a  review  of  athletics,  the  Collegian  congrat- 
ulates St.  John's  on  its  achievements  during  the 
past  year.  Success  was  especially  marked  in 
track  and  field  work  in  which,  Ryder,  Gailey, 
\A'elch,  J.  Wilson,  Woodward  and  Clayton  es- 
pecially distinguished  ti.eniselves.  St  John's 
retained  its  place  in  the  front  of  Maryland 
Athletics. 

W.  Klinefelter  has  been  elected  captain  of  the 
Tennis  Team. 

The  graduating  class  erected  its  class  shield  in 
McDowell  Hall  on  June  IS.  It  was  presented  by 
the  President  of  the  class  and  received  by  Presi-

class  motto — "Omnia  probate,  bona  tcnete." 

The  farewell  ball  was  held  in  ihe  Gymna.-ium 
on  the  same  date.  The  receiving  parly  consisted

HISTORICAL  NOTES. 

Ovariotomy  in  Md.  The  first  attempt  recorded 
was  by  Professor  Jameson  and  was  incomplete 
(see  Med.  Annals,  789-792).  The  dale  is  not 
positively  known  but  there  had  been  "three  or 
four  cases"  up  to  that  tine  (probably  1822).  The 
patient  died  shortly  after  the  operation. 

It  may  be  mentioned  that  Dr.  James  Cocke, 
who  afterwards  settled  in  Baltimore,  had  urged 
the  operation  in  his  thesis  at  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania,  in  1804;  this  was  five  years  be- 
fore McDowell's  first  operation. 

The  first  case  of  ovariotomy  in  Maryland  was 
Murphy's,  of  Baltimore,  1848;  it  was  succes^'ful, 
the  subject,  a  teacher  of  the  name  of  Reeside, 
living  30  j'ears  after.  Murphy  was  an  M.  E. 
Univ.  Md.,  1819. 

The  second  successful  case  was  Alan  P. 
Smith's,  performed  March  28,  1868,  on  Mrs. 
Vivian  Brent,  of  Charles  Co.,  Md. 

Dr.  Morris  was  also  present  at  a  second  suc- 
cessful case  of  A.  P.  S. 

Professor  Nathan  R.  Smith  was  not  in  favor 
of  it,  but  Atlee's  success  induced  him  to  try  it 
once  only — in  1866.  Dr.  John  Morris,  who  had 
assisted  Atlee  in  eleven  cases,  was  present,  and 
as  he  was  supposed  to  be  experienced,  he  was 
asked  to  tie  the  pedicle,  but  tied  it  too  close 
(oral  com.).     The  woman  died  in  four  days. 

Dr.  Samuel  T.  Knight  reported  two  cases  in 
1872, 


The  successes  of  Drs.  Wm.  T.  Howard,  and 
H.  P.  C.  Wilson  followed.  The  latter  operated 
successfully  on  a  pregnant  woman  in  1879. 

The  commencement  of  1S63  was  held  at  the  Hol- 
liday  Street  Theatre  on  March  8.  U.  S.  soldiers 
were  present  and  the  military  authorities  re- 
quired the  "ccnspicuous"  display  of  a  national 
flag.  There  were  87  graduates  and  Professor 
Richard  McSheiTy  delivered  the  address.  Pro- 
fessor N.  R.  Smith  distributed  the  diplomas. 
{Sun,  Mar.  9). 

"John  Buckler,  M.  D.,  Adjunct  Professor  of 
Anatomy  in  the  University  of  Md.,  has  been 
unanimously  elected  to  the  Professorship  of  Sur- 
gery in  that  institution  vacated  by  the  resigna- 
tion of  Granville  Sharpe  Pattison,  Esq.'  Balti-

Dr.  Nathan  Ryno  Smith,  of  Jefferson  Medical 
College,  elected  to  chair  of  Surgery,  University 
of  Md.,  same  year. 

Same  elected  Professor  of  Institutes  of  Surgery 
in  the  University  of  New  York,  on  his  resigna- 
tion from  the  Univ.  of  Md.  in  1838,  but  de- 
clined.    Am.  Jour.  Med.  Sciences,  Vol.  22,    1838.

{Gunti.nued from  page  117). 
In  Oaecilianuin. 

Oicero  ha  =!  11,1  really  said — "O  Moros,  0  Tem- 
poral " — as  he  saw  Cataline  la3'ing  a  sacrilegious 
plot,  when  frieii  h  an  1  relations  fought  against 
each  other, ami  the  worLl  was  given  up  to  civil 
war.  Why  repeat  to-day — "0  Mores!"  why 
now  "0  Temporal  '?" 

Because  .you  are  not  pleaded,  Caecilianus  ? 
Why  is  it?  NoLhing  distracts  u-;,  nothing  in- 
sane happens.  We  enjoy  peace  and  plenty.  It 
is  your  hihits  not  ours  which  spoil  the  times, 
Caecilianus. 

De  Her  ode. 

The  physician,   Herodes,  stole  a  goblet  from  a 
patient.     ITe    being    caught    at   it  said — "Why 
then,  thou  Fool,  do  you  drink?" 
De  Hippocrate . 

Hippocrales  has  given  me  to  drink  a  portion 
of  the  santoni.an.  herb  and  asks  me  for  wine  and 
honey.  By  the  bones  of  raenl  You  would 
never  have  been  so  stupid,  Glaucus,  as  to  offer 
brass  for  gold.  He  wi^ihes  sweet  for  the  bitter. 
He  shall  have  it,  but  only  if  be  will  drink  it 
with  hellubore. 

De  Caro,   Medico. 

Nolhi  ng  would  be  worse  than  that  Carus  should 
succumb  to  a  fever,    Maximus;   he   is  certainly 
ill.     However    the    dreadful    fever    is  quotidian. 
As  a  physician,  he  may  be  cured  by  care. 
De,  Ne.p'iTilieo,  sed  Plirenel'wo . 

A  nephritis 'has  pierced  the  physician,  Hylan, 
with  its  dart  and  he  is   disabled.     I  think  this 
was  discreet  for  our  sakes,  O  Auctus! 
De  Antlnclio,   Tonsore. 

Let  the  one  who  does  not  wish  to  plunge  in  o 
the  waters  of  the  Styx,  if  he  be  wise,  avoid  the 


barber  Antiochus.  The  silly  enthusiast,  who 
was  crazed  by  the  songs  of  the  Phrygian  priests, 
seared  his  pale  arms  wilh  knives  less  terrible. 
Alcon,  with  more  gentleness,  gashes  an  intesti- 
nal hernia  and,  less  roughly,  sets  a  fractured 
bone. 

How  he  shaves  unconcernedly  the  poor  Cynic's 
or  the  Stoic's  chin,  how  he  epilates  of  its  pow- 
dered mane  the  horse's  neck!  If  he  should 
happen  to  shave  Prometheus  upon  his  hyperbo- 
rean rock,  tlie  unfortunate  being  would  welcome 
to  his  naked  breast  the  bird  who  punishes  him. 
Pentheus  would  fly  to  his  mot-her,  Orpheus  to 
the  Menades,  if  they  heard  the  atrocious  noise 
of  the  razor  of  Antiochus. 

All  these  eschars  which  you  count  upon  my 
ch'n,  in  as  great  a  number  as  the  furrows  of  an 
old  athlete,  are  not  the  work  of  the  furious  nails 
of  a  cross-grained  wife;  I  owe  them  to  Antio- 
chus' iron,  to  his  rascally  hand.  Of  all  the  ani- 
mals, he  alone— the  goat — has  common  sense.  He 
lives  bearded  for  fear  of  Antiochus. 
De  Mar  one. 

Maron  has  made  a  vow  in  a  loud  voice  for  one 
of  his  friends,  a  prey  to  the  distressing  intensity 
of  an  intermittent  fever.  He  has  promised,  if 
the  friend  escapes  the  engulfing  Styx,  that  Ju- 
piter shall  see  a  victim  worthy  of  him  fall  before 
his  altars.  The  physicians  begin  to  be  sure  of 
his  recovery;  Maron  now  makes  a  vow  which 
hedges  his  first  one.

and,  as  you  are  indifi'erent,  you  say  a  virtuous 
life  pleases  you.  Turgidus,  you  lie.  Such  a 
life  is  not  virtuous.  Dd  j'ou  wish  me  to  tell  you

you  howl  in  the  tertian.  If  you  are  unable  to

PROFESSOR  ZUEBLIN'S  INTRO- 
DUCTORY. 

Professor  Ernest  Zueblin'a  opening  lecture  be- 
fore the  3rd  and  4th  year  medical  students,  on 
Oct.  3,  was  characterized  by  an  earnestness  and 
sincerity,  and  a  high  ethical  tone,  that  must 
have  deeply  impressed  his  audience.  After  a 
warm  greeting  he  discussed  methods  and  condi- 
tions of  study  and  the  circumstances  which  pro- 
mote success.  We  give  two  extracts — the  first 
on  charity,  the  second  on  thoroughness. 

"To  my  mind,  there  is  hardly  any  other  pro- 
fession where  charity  and  medical  science,  amal- 
gamated together,  can  do  more  for  humanity. 
Science,  taken  by  itself,  may  be  compared  to  a 
limelight  penetrating  into  the  darkness  of  ignor- 
ance, but  leaving  the  heart  cold.  In  the  contact 
with   human   suffering,   we  often  feel  depressed 

THE  CERTIFICATION  OF  PHARMACISTS. 

Dear  Doctor:  — 

Certain  "^ew  York  plu'sicians  and  pliarmacists  have 
appointed  a  joint  committee  whiicti  is  to  thoroughly  in- 
vestigate New  York  pharmacies  and  certify  to  the  worth 
of  those  that  meet  reasonable  modern  requirements  in 
stock,   in  equipment  and  in  practice. 

We  believe  our  greatly  enlarged  facilities  and  up-to 
date  equipment  would  amply  entitle  us  to  such  certihca- 
tioQ.  The  character  of  work  we  have  been  doing  for  more 
than  twenty  years  has,  we  hope,  thoroughly  and  firmly 
established  us  in  your  esteem  and  favorably  testifies  as 
to  our  abilities  and  methods.

and  dHConraged  and  our  wish  to  abolish  all  evil 
is  felt  in'e:isely.  But  sentiments  alone  avail 
nothing,  SL-iontific  help  and  sentiment  combined 
can  relievj  hiimin  sulfering.  Chii-ity,  blended 
with  me  HivlI  science  and  experience,  is  the 
source  fro:ii  which  we  can  draw  new  energies 
destined  to  adorn  the  existence  of  mankind. 
Daily  experience  shows  us  tlie  truth,  that  a  good 
man  alone  can  become  a  good  physician,  a  man 
with  a  firm  character,  gifted  with  that  idealism 
that  holds  out  against  all  difficulties  of  life.  A 
physician  remiining  all  the  lime  on  the  ground 
of  thorough  se-ience,  mny  inspire  his  circle  of 
students  and  patients  with  admiration  and  his 
knowledge  may  be  a  great  blessing  for  his  pa- 
tients. Yet  he  is  apt  to  consider  suffering  human 
neings  as  mere  material  for  observation  and  expe- 
rimentation anil  he  may  even  try  on  his  patients 
remedies  which  will  not  stand  the  test  of  ethical 
judgment.  His  presence  sends  forth  a  cold 
bright  light,  wliicli  wid  not  warm  the  heart  of 
his  human  p  r.ient  who  is  in  need  of  sympathy 
and  kin  Ines.-^  a-;  well  as  medical  treatment,  if  no 
word  of  sympathy,  of  kindness,  accompany  his 
actions.  IL>w  ilifTerent  the  atnmsphere  emana- 
ting froui  the  [iliysician  who  brings  to  the  bed- 
side knowledge  and  psychological  understanding 
of  the  su  eriiig.  \\^ithout  many  words,  the  un- 
derstanding between  patient  and  physician  is  es- 
tablished. In  the  former,  the  comforting  feel- 
ing is  ar(.iu.-eil,  that  he  can  trvist  liis  doctor  in 
everything.  And  even  if  our  efforts  to  save  a 
human  life  are  but  little  successful,  the  refined 
physican  can  render  great  service  in  alleviating 
the  patient's  physical  and  mental  suffering  when 
he  is  aboiit  to  depart  from  this  life." 

"I  cannot  lay  enough  stref-s  on  thoroughness, 
as  it  seems  to  me  the  "one  essential'  for  the  med- 
ical man,  that  one  factor  on  which  your  future 
depends.  You  may  analyze  the  factors  which 
contributed  to  the  fame  of  clinical  teachers,  and 
you  will  always  find  Ih  it  they  were  thorough  in 
the  least  details  of  their  work.  Hardly  any  fact, 
even  though  seemingly  uninportant  to  the  pa- 
tient, e-capeJ  their  attention  in  taking   the    his-

tory.  Thoroughness  characterizes  their  exami- 
nation of  the  whole  body,  where  all  organs  may 
suffer.  After  the  exhaustion  of  the  means  of 
clinical'physical  examination,  they  try  to  unite 
all  findings,  all  knowledge,  every  experience, 
and  a  kind  of  medical  instinct  allows  them  to 
separate  primary  cause  from  secondary  conse- 
t,luence  as  much  as  possible.  Their  diagnosis 
dives  to  the  bottom  of  the  cause  of  disease,  and 
after  a  careful  consideration  of  prognosis,  the 
treatment  is  before  all  causal,  if  necessary  symp- 
tomatic and  prophylactic.  *  .*  *  The  future 
will  show  that  patients  will  learn  to  distinguish 
very  well  the  thorough  physician  from  his  col- 
league, who  does  not  think  it  worth  while  to 
cincentrate  his  interest  on  his  patient's  disease 
and  who  without  a  careful  examination,  resorts 
to  ^ymptomatic,  in  many  cases  to  unsuccessful 
treatment.  I  know  that  untrained  human  be- 
ings are  naturally  inclined  to  avoid  difficulties. 
In  education  it  is  one  of  the  most  itnportant  tasks 
to  create  in  the  pupil  that  sentiment  of  respon- 
sibility in  the  work  to  be  accomplished,  to  de- 
velope  in  the  pupil  the  courage  to  tackle  difficul- 
ties directly  and  with  enthusiasm  {nee  aspera 
terrent).  It  means,  no  doubt,  a  hard  task  not  to 
follow  the  tendency  towards  lesser  resistence, 
not  to  take  it  easy.  *  *  *  In  doing  thorough 
work  the  medical  student  will  not  o-ily  merit  the 
recognition  of  patients,  the  encouragement  of 
his  teachers,  but  most  valuable  of  all  will  be  the 
personal  satisfaction  experienced  by  the  success 
in  the  treatment  of  disease.  It  may  appear 
easier  in  the  beginning  not  to  care  much  about 
the  quality  and  quantity  of  work  accomplished; 
but  later  on,  the  results  and  consequences  are 
quite  different.  Once  started  in  medical  prac- 
tice, no  more  within  reach  and  control  of  the 
teacher,  the  practitioner  will  learn  his  mistakes 
at  the  risk  of  his  patients'  welfare.  Thorough- 
ness means  an  important  habit  to  adopt  during 
your  studies,  which  \y\\\  becoiue  second  nature 
and  then  piy  for  itself  manyfold  by  the  success 
it  warrants.  If  the  fatal  results  in  surgery  are 
often  caused  by  very  little  errors  and  small  neg- 
lets,  so  in  medicine  carelessness  may  cause  al- 
most similar  consequuces.  So  my  friends,  I 
shall  .judge  your  ti:ness  for  a  good  final  grading 
liy  the  evidences  yuu  give  of  your  thoroughness 
in  your  siu.lies  and  in  the  examination  of  tl|e 
cases,"

AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL  NOTES  OF   DR. 

JAMES  H.  BUTLER,  RECENTLY 

DECEASED. 

I  graduated  at  the  University  of  Maryland, 
March  1857.  Was  appointed  Re  ident  Physician 
at  the  Baltimore  Infirmary,  August  1857.  Re- 
mained at  the  Infirmary  until  appointed  Dem- 
onstrator of  Anatomj,  September  27th,  1860. 
Resigned  that  position  March  1869. 

In  April  1860,  Dr.  Berwick  B.  Smith,  Dem- 
onstrator of  Anatomy,  died,  and  Dr.  George  G. 
Farnandis  was  appointed.  Dr.  F.  held  the  place 
but  four  months,  when  he  resigned  and  I  was 
appointed;  no  demonstrations  of  Anatomy  were 
made  by  him  during  his  short  term. 

In  the  eight  and  a  half  years  that  I  was  Demon- 
strator, I  was  also  one  of  the  Surgeons  to  the  In- 
firmary, and  attended  through  the  summer 
months  at  that  institution. 

During  the  war,  for  the  purpofe  of  studying 
military  surgery,  I  accepted  the  appointment  of 
acting  Asst.  Surgeon,  U.  S.  A.,  and  was  in  par- 
tial charge  of  U.  S.  A.  Hospital  at  West's 
Buildings,  and  afterwards  at  the  Hicks  General 
Hospital. 

During  my  23  years  of  professional  life  I  have 
performed  all  the  usual  operations  known  in  sur- 
gery from  ovariotomy  and  lithotomy  down  to 
the  most  common.  Two,  are  somwhat  celebrated 
and  have  been  reported  : 

One,  a  case  of  gastro-hysterotomy,  October 
23rd,  1869,  in  which  the  child  had  escaped,  by 
rupture  of  the  uterus,  into  the  cavity  of  the  ab- 
domen. The  woman,  Catharine  Waters,  recover- 
ed and  now  lives  at  No.  42  Davis  St.  One  of  the 
only  successful  cases  on  record.  Reported  first, 
in  the  Baltimore  Medical  Bulletin,  January  1st, 
1870,  and  afterwards  copied  in  other  Journals. 

The  other,  a  caesarean  section,  performed  De- 
cember JOth,  1869,  and  first  reported  in  the 
Journal  of  the  Gynaecological  Society  of  Boston,  July 
1870,  of  which  association  I  am  a  corresponding 
member. 

After  resigning  from  the  University  of  Md.,  I 
withdrew  from  both  public  and  private  teaching, 
although  when  the  College  of  Physicians  and 
Surgeons  was  organized,  I  was  offered  the  posi- 
tions of  Professor  of  Anatomy  and  Surgery.  These 
were  declined,  as  also  the  position  of  Professor 
of  Surgery  in  the  then  Washington  College.

VISITING  LISTS.    MEMORANDA  OF 

DR.  FRANCIS  DONALDSON,  '46. 

In  looking  further  into  Dr.  Donaldson's  visiting 
lists,  we  were  surprised  and  disappointed  <o  find 
but  few  memoranda  after  those  recorded  for 
1856.  So  that  what  we  fondly  hoped  would  be 
a  long  series  of  rich  notes  and  observations 
proved  to  be  but  blank  pages,  However,  there 
are  a  few  entries  of  sufficient  interest  to  quote:

HISTORICAL  NOTES. 

From  ''' Letters, from  America  {1709-77)  by  Wm. 
Eddis,  London,  1793'\  we  extract  the  following, 
dated  Annapolis,  .Jan.  18,  1771.  Eddis  was  the 
Surveyor  of  Customs  of  Maryland. 

"Annapolis,  vvith  every  advantage  to  render  it 
an  agreeable  residence,  labours  under  inconveni- 
ences which  will  greatly  impede  its  progress  to 
commercial  importance.  The  harbour,  as  I  have 
formerly  observed,  is  not  sufficiently  commo- 
dious for  vessels  of  considerable  burden;  and  the 
road  is  too  much  exposed  to  lade  or  unlade  with 
safety  or  convenience.  Bat  the  province  his 
been  amply  compensated  for  this  disappointment 
by  the  rise  of  a  settlement  which  in  the  memory 
of  many  persons  now  in  being,  has  increased  with 
the  most  astonishing  rapidity;  and  promises  by 
an  equal  progress,  to  rank  with  the  most  populous 
and  opulent  establishments  on  this  side  the 
Atlantic. 

This  place,  which  is  named  Baltimore,  in  com- 
pliment to  the  proprietarjf  familj^,  i-!  situated  on 
the  northern  branch  of  the  river  Patapsco,  about 
thirty  miles  higher  up  the  bay  of  Ohesapeak  than 
Annapolis;  and  at  nearly  the  same  distance  by 
land.  Within  these  few  years  some  scattered 
cottages  were  only  to  be  found  on  this  spot,  oc- 
cupied  by  obscure    storekeepers,   merely  for   the 


134

supply  of  the  adjacent  plantations.  But  the^iii 
peculiar  advantages  it  posseses  with  respect  to'''f( 
the  trade  of  the  frontier  counties  of  Virginia, 
Pennsylvania  and  Maryland,  so  strongly  im- 
pressed the  mind  of  l\Ir.  John  Stevenson,  an 
Irish  gentleman,  who  had  settled  in  the  vicinity 
in  a  medical  capacity,  that  he  first  conceived  the 
important  project,  of  rendering  this  port  thfe 
grand  emi^orium  of  Maryland  commerce.  IJe 
accordingly  applied  himself  with  assiduity  to 
the  completion  of  his  plan.  The  nei.Thboring 
country  being  fertile,  well  settled  and  abound- 
ing in  grain ;  Mr.  Stevenson  contracted  for 
considerable  quantities  of  wheat,  he  freighted 
vessels,  and  consigned  them  to  a  correspondent 
in  his  native  country.  The  cargoes  sold  to  great 
advantage  and  returns  were  made  equally  bene- 
ficial. The  commencement  of  a  trade  to  lucra- 
tive to  the  first  adventurers,  soon  became  an  ob- 
ject of  universal  attention.  Persons  of  a  com- 
mercial and  enterprising  spirit,  emigrated  from 
all  quarters  to  this  new  and  promising  scene  of  in- 
dustry. Wharfs  were  constructed;  elegant  and 
convenient  habitations  were  rapidly  erected ;  mar- 
shes were  drained;  spacious  fields  were  occupied 
for  the  purposes  of  general  utility ;  and  within  for- 
ty years  from  its  first  commencement,  Baltimore 
became  not  only  the  most  wealthy  and  populous 
town  in  the  province,  but  inferior  to  few  on  the 
continent,  either  in  size,  number  of  inhabitants, 
or  the  advantages  arising  from  a  well-conducted 
and  universal  commercial  connection".* 

The  Boston  Society  for  Medical  Improvement,  in- 
corporated 1837,  has  an  ivory  gavel  in  the  shape 
of  a  barrel,  on  the  ends  of  which  are  carved 
"Anacreontic  So.  E.  J.  C.  Baltimore.  1820"  and 
"Boston  Soc.  for  Medical  Improvement.  W.  E. 
C.  1850,"  respectively.  Information  desired  re- 
garding the  significance  of  these  inscriptions. 
What  was  the  Anacreontic  Society  ?  Edward  .1. 
Coale  was  a  bookseller  in  Balto.  about  1817-20. 
Wm.  Edward  Coale,  M.  D.  Univ.  Md.  1836', 
was  born  in  Balto.  and  settled  in  Boston  1813, 
where  he  died  in  1865.  He  was  Asst  Surgeon  U. 
S.  N.  1837-43.     He  was  a  man  of  some  note. 

*  "Soon  after  the  appointment  of  Mr.  Eden  to  the  gov- 
ernment of  Maryland.  Sir  Walter  Draper  arrived  in  that 
province,  on  a  tour  of  the  continent.  He  contemplated 
the  origin  of  Baltimore  and  its  i-apid  progress  with  aston- 
ishment. And  vphen  introduced  by  the  Governor,  to 
tlie  worthy  founder,  he  elegantly  aooo.sted  him  by  the 
appellation  of  the  'American  Romulus.'  " 


j  The  following  marginal  note  occurs  in  one  of 
^he  books  of  John  Craurford  ( 1746-1813) :  "How 
much  it  is  to  be  lamented  that  pathologists  were 
not  always  governed  by  the  rule  of  nature  in- 
stead of  the  imagination.  Knowledge  founded 
on  any  other  principle  is  darkness — bewildering 
darkness!" 

Dr.  Geo.  Buchanan  dedicates  his  University 
Pennsylvania  Inaug'l  Thesis  for  degree  of  M.  D. 
1789,  among  others  to 

"  Ainico  mo  digno  pi urimumque  colendo,  Gatielmo 
Lyon,  de  Wederogle  apud  Maryland,  qui  medicina 
midtos  per  annos,  cum  successu  prpsperrimo  et  maxi- 
ma exisiimatione,  facta,  ad  vitam  priratnni  semet

cium  amicus  cettus  et  singidaris,  ah  omnibm,  qui

icditatem  vix  adaeqnandas  minim  in  modum  dilectus. 

An  interesting  letter  is  extant  dcFcribing  Bal- 
timore ill  17 SI.  It  was  written  by  a  Lieut.  Reeves, 
of  the  Penna.  Line,  on  his  way  to  the  South  and 
is  dated  Oct.  20,  the  day  after  the  surrender  at 
Yorktown.  He  crosses  the  Bay  in  a  sailboat 
and  leaving  his  baggage  at  the  mouth  of  the  Pa- 
tapsco,  marches  his  company  to  "Baltimore 
Town."  Putting  his  men  in  quarters,  he  stops 
at  Mr.  Grant's,  "the  sign  of  the  fountain,  the 
first  tavern  in  the  place." 

The  next  day,  after  dining  with  Mr.  Fell, 
whom  he  had  met  in  Philadelphia, he  rode  out  with 
him  in  a  carriage  to  view  the  Town.  They  made 
a  circuit  almost  round  it  and  from  the  hills  had 
a  good  view  of  it.  The  people  said  it  was  nearly 
half  the  size  of  Phila.,  but  he  thought  it  not 
one- eighth  so  large. 

It  occupied  a  low,  uneven  piece  of  ground, 
and  was  connected  with  Fell's  Point  by  two 
bridges.  The  streets  were  unpaved,  and  in  wet 
weather  were  very  muddy  and  in  dry  very  dusty. 
He  visited  the  market  house  (cor. '  Gay  St.) 
from  which  the  main  street  was  then  called 
"Market  Street,"  now  Baltimore  St.  It  was 
under  an  old  courthouse.  He  mentions  the  un- 
finished church — evidently  St.  Paul's,  then  a 
wooden  structure,  Cor.  Charles  and  Saratoga, 
and  the  "genteel  Courthouse,"- which  was  situ- 
ated   in    the    centre   of  Monument    Square,  and

then  bore  the  appellation  of  "State  House."  The 
latter  occupied  the  crest  of  a  hill,  which  a  few 
years  later  was  dug  ilown,  in  leveling  the  streets 
and  filling  up,  leaving  the  old  building  percheil 
upon  arches,  as  represented  in  an  old  wood  cut. 
Some  of  the  streets  were  wide  and  regular,  many 
winding  and  turning  as  the  first  comers  happen- 
ed to  build.  There  were  a  number  of  "genteel 
houses"  in  the  town. 

Mr.  Fell,  whose  house  he  m;ide  his  home  dur- 
ing his  stay,  was  a  gentleman  of  princely  fortune, 
owning  Fell's  Point,  then  one-fourth  as  large  as 
Baltimore  and  the  chief  seat  of  the  shipping  and 
trade  of  the  port.  Tiie  houses  at  the  Point  were 
few  and  scattered  and  between  it  and  the  town 
were  corn-fields  and  groves.  Mr.  Fell  was  then 
laying  out  the  lots  at  the  Point  with  a  view  to 
sale  or  lease.

THRICE. 

'Lovest  thou  me?'     I  aslt  thee,  child, 

And  wait  for  a  repl}-; 

I  loved  thee,  a}'e,  tiuto  the  end, 

And  proved  an  ever  constant  friend; 

My  love  was  tender,  thoughtful,  pure. 

And  so  the  better  could  endure 

Because  of  you  to  die. 

And  are  your  foud  confessions,  .shams. 

Or,  will  you,  wisely,  'Feed  my  lambs.' 

'Lovest  thou  me'  and  can  thy  love 

Like  mine,  know  much  of  loss. 

And  bear  the  world's  vain  slurs,  and  sneers. 

And  buffetings,  and  pains,  and  jeers. 

And  every  varied  phase  of  stiife; 

And  lastly,  can  it  give  its  life 

Upon  the  cruel  cross  ? 

And  wouldst  thou  show  thy  love  is  deep  ? 

Then  seek  the  fields, — and,  'Feed  my  sheep.' 

'Lovest  thou  me,'  aye,  thrice  I've  asked 

But  thrice  didst  thou  deny. 

And  e'en  the  cock  crowed  loud  with  shame, 

Yet  I  loved  thee,  and  could  not  blame. 

You  love  ?     Ah,  but  thine  lacks  some  links; 

I  want  a  love  that  works,  and  thinks, 

And  e'en  for  me  would  die. 

You  still  aver  it  ?     Then  pray  keep 

My  fold  intact,  and — 'Feed  my  sheep.'

The  Regents  met  in  the  Law  Building  on  Sept. 
25.  The  principal  business  transacted  was  the 
creation  of  a  Committee,  to  be  composed  of  one 
representative  from  each  of  the  five  faculties,  to 
report  on  the  status  of  the  University,  the 
changes,  if  any,  that  are  needed  in  its  organiza- 
tion and  conduct  and  especially  upon  the  ques- 
tion of  a  paid  Proyost.  The  scope  of  the  Com- 
mittee's work  is  quite  wide,  involving  even  the 
question  of  a  complete  reorganization  of  the 
University.  The.  following  compo?e  this  very 
important  Committee:  Medicine,  Pruf.  Thos.  A. 
Ashby;  Law,  Prof.  Jos.  C.  France;  Dentistry,

We  are  much  surprised  to  learn  of  the  action 
of  the  Trustees  of  the  College  of  Physicians  .and 
Surgeons  of  this  City  in  severing  their  member- 
ship in  the  Association  of  American  Medical  Col- 
leges. This  Association  had  its  origin  in  Balti- 
more and  the  College  was  one  of  those  that  took 
part  in  the  initiatory  proceedings.  Indeed,  its 
authorities  have  shown  a  disposition  to  claim 
great,  if  not  the  sole  credit  for  the  event,  rank- 
ing it  in  importance  with  the  founding  of  the 
Pasteur  Institute.  Whatever  the  grounds  for 
the  charge  of  "arbitrary"  action  on  the  part  of 
the  Association,  it  seems  to  us  a  very  ill-advised 
and  risky  business  to  put  an  institution  in  open 
and  declared  opposition  to  it. ,  The  Colleges  must 
submit  to  the  inevitable  advance  in  medical  ed- 
ucation, and  it  will  Jo  them  no  credit  to  oppose  it. 


We  have  no  desire  to  intrude  our  opinions 
upon  the  Committee  which  has  been  appointed 
to  consider  the  revision  of  the  charter  and  (he  pro- 
vostship.  But  there  are  certain  facts  in  this  con- 
nection which  should  be  borne  in  mind,  else  we 
will  only  perpetuate  the  evils  from  which  we 
have  so  long  suffered. 

The  greaiest  evil  of  our  organization  is  that 
the  government  of  the  University  was  placed  in 


OLD  MARtLAJfD. 


137 


the  hands  of  the  faculties,  each  of  which  practi- 
cally regulates  its  own  affairs  and  manages  its  in- 
come with  entire  independence  of  the  others. 
Heace  that  fatal  isolation  that  has  dwarfed  the 
institution  and  prevented  the  altamment  of  true 
university  development. 

The  only  way  to  attain  University  status  is  to 
place  the  business  control  outside  the  faculties 
and  to  bring  the  departments  into  closer  organic 
union   under  some  efficient  and  recognized  head. 

The  faults  of  our  organization  are  glaring,  and 
it  is  strange  that  they  have  remained  so  long 
uncorrected;  that  no  leader  has  arisen  in  our 
midst  with  the  genius  and  foresight  and  power 
to  direct  the  destinies  of  this  institution  into  the 
right  channels. 

We  would  solemnly  urge  these  gentlemen  to 
consider  well  before  they  consent  to  weaken  it 
by  still  farther  isolation  as  has  been  suggested. 
We  need  closer  union,  stronger  government, 
more  active  co-operation,  an  income  that  is 
available  for  the  whole  no  less  than  the  parts 
and  above  all  a  strong  director  with  ample  au- 
thority to  lead  our  activities.  As  we  have  re- 
peatedly said,  a  real,  active,  working  head  could 
accomplish  great  things  for  this  university, 
could  infuse  into  it  new  life  and  influence  and 
importance,  and  start  it  upon  a  new  career  of 
honor  and  greatness  that  would  make  its  name 
respected  wherever  science  and  learning  are 
known. 


Under  the  heading  "Honor  to  whom  Honor  is 
due,"  the  Journal  of  the  American  Medical  Associ- 
ation for  Oct.  12,  pays  the  following  handsome 
tribute  to  Br.  John  S-  Fulton,  '81,  Professor  of 
State  Medicine  in  the  University  of  Maryland: 
"Last  week  the  Journal  made  several  comments 
on  the  recent  session  of  the  International  Con- 
gress of  Hygiene  and  Demography  and  its  in- 
fluence on  sanitary  progress  in  this  country. 
The  section  meetings,  the  exhibit,  the  creditable 
attendance  from  this  and  foreign  countries,  the 
public  interest,  the  wide-spread  and  valuable  ed- 
ucational publicity  in  the  newspapers — these 
were  the  evident  results.  As  is  often  the  case, 
the  cause  is  not  so  apparent.     Yet  every  one  who

has  been  associated  with  any  great  task  knows 
that  no  result  is  ever  achieved  without  a  propor- 
tionate amount  of  careful  planning  and  pains- 
taking effort  on  the  part  of  some  one.  Those 
who  have  been  most  intimately  connected  with 
the  management  of  the  recent  congress  know 
that  the  principal  cause  of  its  successful  out- 
come is  found  in  the  labors  of  Dr.  John  S.  Ful- 
ton, the  Secretary-General.  For  two  years  he  has 
worked,  unremittingly  and  conscientiously,  to 
make  the  Congress  a  gathering  that  should  be  a 
credit  to  the  country  in  which  ib  was  held  and 
to  the  scientific  men  of  our  land.  How  well  lie 
succeeded  is  now  a  matter  of  history.  The  Jour- 
nal congratulates  Dr.  Fulton  on  the  results  of 
his  eft'orts" 


Dr.  Randolph  Winslow  gives  an  interesting 
account  of  his  recent  trip  to  Panama  in  the  Hos- 
pital Bulletin.  His  ob,ject  in  going  during  the 
summer  was  to  see  the  construction  work  of  the 
canal  before  the  water  was  turned  in.  He  left 
New  York  on  the  Hamburg-American  Line 
Steamship,  Prinz  August  Wilhelm,  on  July  13. 
Passing  San  Salvador,  supposed  to  have  been 
the  first  land  discovered  by  Columbus,  a  stop  w'as 
made  at  Fortune  Island,  one  of  the  Bahamas  in- 
habited almost  entirely  by  blacks.  Passing  around 
the  Eastern  end  of  Cuba,  on  the  18th  the 
steamer  entered  the  harbor  of  Santiago  and  cast 
anchor.  Owing  to  the  quarantine  on  account  of 
prevalence  of  plague  in  Havana,  no  one  was 
allowed  to  land  and  Drs.  Infante,  Brooks  and 
Sagebien,  U.  M.  men  practicing  in  Santiago, 
who  came  out  in  a  motor  boat,  could  not  board 
the  ship. 

Having  spent  several  hours  unloading  freight, 
they  departed  for  Kingston,  Jamaica,  situated 
on  a  bay  formed  by  a  long  sickle-shaped  spit  of 
land,  at  the  extremity  of  which  is  the  town  of 
Port  Royal.  This  place  was  destroyed  by  an 
earthquake  about  200  years  ago,  and  Kingston 
has  recently  experienced  a  similar  fate  and  fire. 
The  houses  of  Kingston  have  been  rebuilt  with 
reinforced  concrete,  supposed  to  be  both  tire  and 
quake-proof.  The  passengers  were  allowed  to 
land.  Ninety-eight  per  cent,  of  the  population 
of  the  island  are  negroes.  The  stores  close  at  4

weird,  night  funjral  of  the  Mikado,  on  Sept. 
13.  "The  shrill,  indescribably  mournful  music 
of  reed  pipes,  each  playing  a  different  air,  but 
all  seeming  to  blend  in  one  long  wail  of  grief, 
thrilled  us  with  a  queer,  unearthly  feeling;  it 
seemed  indeed  to  be  the  very  note  of  death."  * 
"The  funeral  car  was  a  large  two- wheeled  cart, 
looming  high  in  the  air,  and  the  lights  were  re- 
flected in  its  black,  gold  and  red  laquer.  It  was 
drawn  by  seven  big  lumliering  oxen  and  on  eitlier 
side  walked  oflficials  and  troops."*  "It  was  said 
that  with  the  passing  of  the  cortege  old  Jajan 
passed  and  disappeared."  Mr.  W.  goes  from 
Japan  to  Manilla. 

Dr.  Jas.  D.  Iglehart,  '72,  has  been  elected

GEORGE  EDWARD  MITCHELL,  I78t-I832. 

Of  Elkton,  Maryland.  Soldier,  Statesman, 
Physician. 

The  Mitchells  of  Cecil  Co.,  Md.,  are  of  Scotch- 
Irish  extract  on.  Dr.  Abraham  Mitchell,  father 
of  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  was  born  in  Lan- 
caster Co.,  Pa.,  and  began  practice  at  Elktcn 
some  time  before  1767.  He  acquired  a  large 
practice  extending  over  several  counties.  Dur- 
ing the  Revolution,  he  converted  his  house  into 
a  hospital  for  wounded  Continental  soldiers.  He 
was  fond  of  agricultural  pursuits,  and  in  1799 
tiok  part  in  the  founding  of  the  Medical  and 
Chirurgical  Faculty  of  Maryland.  He  died  at 
Fair  Hill,  Md.,  Sept.  30,  1817,  aged  83. 

George  Edward  was  the  oldest  of  eight  child- 
ren and  was  born  March  3,  178] .  Commencing 
medical  study  under  his  father,  he  continued  it 
at  the  University  of  PeniLsylvania,  and  was 
graduated  there  in  1805.  For  some  years  prior 
and  subsequent  to  this  date,  he  practiced  ir  part- 
nerhip  with  his  father.  In  1808  he  was  elected 
a  representative  in  the  General  Assembly  of  the 
State  and  served  during  the  ensuing  session. 
Having  declined  a  re-election,  he  was  elected  a 
member  of  the  Executive  Council  and  served 
therein,  being  chosen  President,  from  Nov.  27, 
1809.  until  the  Spring  of  1812.  It  then  being 
apparent  that  there  would  be  a  war  with  Great 
Britain,  he  resigned,  and  on  May  1,  was  ap- 
pointed Major  of  the  Third  Artillery  in  the  reg- 
ular army.  Soon  after,  he  raised  a  company  of 
volunteers  in  Cecil  Co.,  and  entered  upon  active 
service  The  summer  and  fall  of  1812  was  spent 
in  camp  at  Albany,  New  York,  in  disciplining  the 
regiment,  wiih  which  he  marched  in  November 
to  Sackett's  Harbor,  oii  Lake  Ontario,  where  it 
entered  into  inter  quarters  undei  his  command. 
On  March  3,  1813,  he  was  promoted  to  the  rank 
of  Lieutenant-Colonel,  and  he  took  part  in  the 
capture  of  Vork,  where  he  was  badly  injured, 
and  of  Fort  Geoi'ge,  and  was  in  command  of 
Fort  Niagara,  during  the  ensuing  campaign.  He 
was  in  command  of  the  rear  guard  of  General 
Brown's  forces,  on  the  retreat  from  French  Mills 
to  Sackett's  Harbor,  in  February  1814.  In  April

of  the  same  year  he  made  a  forced  march  and 
successfully  repulsed  an  attack  of  the  British 
upon  Oswego;  and  although  subsequently  com- 
pelled to  retire  before  inuch  superior  numbers, 
lie  saved  the  valuable  depot  of  naval  stores  at 
Great  Falls,  twelve  miles  up  the  Oswego  River. 
This  was  one  of  the  most  brilliant  affairs  on  the 
Canadian  frontier  and  secured  for  Mitchell,  the 
brevet  of  Colonel,  and  the  command  of  the  army 
of  the  centre.  On  the  conclusion  of  peace,  he 
was  complimented  for  his  bravery  and  pre.-ented 
with  a  swcird  by  the  Legislature  of  Maryland. 
For  several  years  he  held  command  of  the  fourth 
IMilitary  Department,  but  on  the  reduction  of  the 
army  in  1821,  he  resigned  his  commission,  and 
retm-ned  to  his  native  county,  engaging  in  agri- 
cultural pursuits.  In  1822  he  was  elected  a 
member  of  Congress,  without;  opposition.  It  was 
on  his  motion,  in  Jan.  1824,  that  Lafayette  was 
invited  to  visit  America,  and  he  was  chairman 
of  the  Committee  that  had  charge  of  the  recep- 
tion of  tlie  nation's  guest  at  the  Capitol  at  Wash- 
ington. A  friendship  thus  arose  between  the 
two,  which  continued  through  life.  Col.  Mitchell 
was  re  elected  to  Congress  in  1824  and  again  in 
1829.  In  October  1831,  while  preparing  to  visit 
a  patient,  he  was  stricken  with  paralysis  in  his 
oflice  at  Fair  Hill.  He  partially  recovered  from 
this  attack  and  attended  the  session  of  Congress 
1831-32,  until  his  death,  which  occurred  on 
.lune  28,  1832.  His  remains  were  interred  in  the 
Congressional  burial  ground  at  Washington,  the 
funeral  being  attended  by  members  of  both 
hous.s,  the  President  and  heads  of  departments 
and  all  the  military  in  the  city. 

Colonel  Mitchell  was  married'  to  Miss  Mary 
Hooper,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Ann  (Conway) 
Hooper,  of  Dorchester  Co.,  Md.,  on  May  28, 
1816.  She  died  in  April  1829,  leaving  him 
seven  children.  [Sketches  of  Drs.  Abraham  and 
George  Edward  Mitchell  are  given  in  "History  of 
Cecil  County  Md.,"  by  Geoi'ge  Johnston,  Elk- 
ton,  1881,  8vo.  This  was  one  of  the  sketches 
prepared  for^Kelly's  biogiaphical  cyclopedia,  but 
was  i-ejected  by  him].

At  the  mefiting  of  the  Johns  Hopkins  Hos- 
pital Historical  Club  on  Oct.  14,  Dr.  Arnold 
Klebs,  of  Lausanne,  hrving  read  a  paper  on 
"The  History  of  Variolation,"  Dr.  Cordell  spoke 
briefly  on  the  subject  from  a  local  standpoint. 
The  history  of  inoculation  avd  vaccination  in 
Maryland  was  one  of  the  most  interesting  and  im- 
portant chapters  in  its  medical  annals.  We  find 
Dr.  Adam  Thomson,  of  Prince  George  Co.,  the 
celebrated  author  of  "The  American  Method" 
(desci'il  ed  in  his  tract  on  the  subject,  1750),  in- 
oculating earlier  than  1738,  and  Dr.  John  Craw- 
ford introduced  vaccination  into  Baltimoie  in 
the  summer  of  1800,  simultaneously  with  its  in- 
troduction into  Boston  by  Waterhouse.  Inocula- 
tion was  continued  well  into  the  19ih  century 
(  Dr.  James  Anderson,  of  Montgomery  Co.,  1814; 
Dr.  Patrick  Rodgers,  of  Fell's  Point,  Baltimore, 
1816)  and  was  not  forbidden  by  law  until  1850. 
Smallpox  was  endemic  in  Maryland  almost 
throughout  the  19th  century.  There  were  many 
eminent  inooulators  during  that  period,  one  of 
the  most  distinguished  bting  Dr.  Henry  Steven- 
son, of  Baltimore.  Drs.  John  and  Henry  Ste- 
venson, brothers,  came  here  frt^m  Ireland  early 
in  the  histcry  of  the  town.  Tlie  former  benight 
up  the  grain  in  the  vicinity  and  shipped  it  to 
Belfast,  being  the  founder  of  the  commerce  of 
the  port.  Hence  he  received  the  appellation  of 
the  "Romulus  of  Baltimore."  Henry  stuck  to 
medicine.  About  ten  years  before  the  Revolu- 
tion he  erected  a  stone  mansion  (centre  and 
wings)  just  west  of  this  building,  on  the  hill  this 
side  the  Falls,  a  little  to  the  north  of  the  Peni- 
tentiary. It  was  called  "Parnassus,"  and  Mrs. 
Reigart,  granddaughter  of  Dr.  Charles  Frederick 
Wiesenthal,  who  lived  there  at  one  time,  gave 
me  an  interesting  account  of  it.  A  picture  of  it 
was  publislied  in  the  Md.  Med.  Jl.,  at  the  time 
of  the  centennial  of  the  Medical  and  Chirurgical 
Faculty.  This  mansion  Dr.  S.  converted  into 
an  inoculating  hospital  and  we  find  in  the 
memoirs  of  General  Wilkinson,  who  was  a  gen- 
eral in  the  U.  S.  A.,  an  interesting  account  of 
his  experience  while  undergoing  inoculation 
tlicre.  The  townspeople  called  it  "Stevenson's 
Folly"  in  reference  to  the  ignoble  uee  to  which 
he  had  put  i  .  The  building  was  approached 
from  the  Town  by  a  tressle  bridge  over  the  marsh 
which  then  occupied  the  low  ground  traversed  by 
Jones'  Falls.     It  was  pulled   down  to  make  way 


for  street  grading  and  improvements  about  30 
or  40  years  ago.  Duiing  the  Revolution  the 
I'rothers  espoused  the  cause  of  England  and 
Henry  became  a  surgeon  in  the  British  Navy. 
After  the  Revolution  he  returned  to  Maryland 
and  recovered  his  practice  and  the  goodwill  of 
the  community.  (This  is  what  General  "Wilkin- 
son says:  "At  that  time  (1770)  Dr.  Stevenson 
was  the  most  celebrated  inoculator  of  his  day. 
Baltimore  was  then  asmali  place.  There  were  but 
few  buildings  north  of  the  cieck  tFalls).  To 
reach  the  Doctor's  house  I  had  to  cross  a  meadow 
for  half  a  mile.  The  Doctor's  mansion  was  call- 
ed 'Stevenson's  Folly'  because  it  was  unfinished 
and  a  little  more  conspicuous  than  the  rest.  I 
was  inoculated  with  Mr.  John  Ciistis,  James 
Wormley  and  others  from  Virginia,  and  being 
rather  averse  to  tho  rigid  diet  the  Doctor  enjoin- 
ed, the  latter  reproved  me  and  exclaimed,  'By  St. 
Patrick  I  young  man,  you  will  be  pcpperel';  but 
fortunately  I  came  out  all  right." — Quinan) . 

After  his  appointment  (1817)  Agassiz  found 
neither  labor:itories  nor  collections.  The  speci- 
mens required  w  re  gathereil  almost  by  the  day, 
and  his  outfit  consisted  of  a  blackboard  and  a 
lecture  room.  There  was  no  money  and  his  own 
industry  and  resources  had  to  supply  it.  The 
follo-ving  incident  shows  his  resourcefulness: 
On  tlie  banks  of  the  Charles,  just  where  it  is 
crossed  by  Brighton  Bridge,  w;is  an  old  woo 'en 
shanty  set  on  piles;  it  might  have  served  some- 
time as  a  bathing  or  lioathouse.  The  use  of  this 
v.-as  allowed  him  for  storing  collections.  Pine 
shelves  nailed  ;igainst  the  walls  served  for  cases 
and  with  a  table  or  two  for  dis'Sections,  tins  rough 
shelter  was  made  to  do  duty  as  a  laboratory. 
This  was  the  beginning  of  the  Mu-eum  of  Com- 
parative Zoology  at  Harvard  Uiiiversity. — KeUi/''s

The  determination  of  the  irrelimi nary  qualifica- 
tions of  students  entering  on  medical  study  by 
the  State  Board  of  Medical  Examiners  is  a 
step  which  will  greatly  promote  the  quality  of 
medical  students  and  the  efficiency  of  medical 
training.  The  State  Board  is  absolutely  impar- 
tial and  we  may  now  expect  to  have  a  real  test 
of  candidates  and  not  the  farce  which  heretofore 
has  prevailed  and  has  cast  such  diecredit  upon 
the  schools.  The  gentleman  who  will  conduct 
the  examinations  is  a  member  of  the  Faculty  of 
the  Polytechnic  Institute  and  is  said  to  be  highly 
qualified  for  the  duty.  We  have  heretofore  ad- 
vocated this  solution  of  the  question  of  prelimi- 
nary qualifications  and  it  is  a  matter  of  no  little 
gratification  that  the  result  is  in  accordance  with 
our  views.  The  State  Board  should  have  the 
determination  of  the  qualifications  of  the  student, 
both  on  entering  and  leaving  the  schools  and  the 
arrangement  is  altogether  wise  and  proper.  The 
Medical  Colleges  of  Baltimore  are  highly  to  be 
praised  for  their  enlightened  action  in  this  matter.

MEMORIAL     ADDRESS    ON    PROVOST 
BERNARD  CARTER,  LL.D. 

Delimred  on  Academic  Dai/  by  Mr.  Arthur  George 
Brown,  of  the  Bcdllmore  Bar. 
When  tlie  regents  and  faculty  and  students  of 
the  University  met  on  the  last  Academic  Day, 
one  year  ago,  provost  Bernard  Carter  was  absent, 
because  of  illness,  from  his  accustomed  place, 
which  he  had  occupied  continuously  since  1894, 
and  always  filled  with  characteristic  faithfulness, 
and  with  great  usefulness  and  distinction. 

Today  the  chief  seat  among  you  is  vacant  be- 
cause he  has  departed  this  life;  and  we  sorrow- 
fully realize  that  here  we  shall  see  his  face  no 
more. 

Exactly  one  hundred  years  have  passed  since 
the  charter  was  amended,  giving  authority  to 
the  regents  to  appoint  a  Provost  of  the  Univer- 
sity. That  post  of  honor  and  of  uiefulness  has 
been  filled  by  seven  men : 

Robert  Smith,    1813—1815 

James  Kemp, 1815—18-26 

Roger  Brooke  Taney, 1826—1837 

Ashton  Alexander 1837—1850 

John  Pendleton  Kenne<ly, 1850—1870 

Severn  Teackle  Wallis, 1870— 189i 

Bernard  Carter, 1894—1912 

The  mere  recital  of  these  names  is  enough  to 
shoiv  how  high  has  been  the  character  and  how 
fine  the  quality  of  those  who,  from  time  to  time, 
have  constituted  the  governing  body  and  the 
faculty  of  the  University  of  Maryland;  and  who, 
possessing  the  power,  have  had  also  the  wisdom 
to  select  such  men  as  these  to  preside  over  them, 
in  unfaltering  succession,  throughout  the  entire 
length  of  a  now  completed  century. 

The  last  name  on  that  list  we  may  not  venture 
to  call  the  greatest  of  them  all,  becau?e  (if  for 
no  other  reason)  the  august  name  of  Taney 
goes  before;   but  Bernard   Carter   was   very   fur 


from  being  the  least  of  those  highly  distinguish- 
ed and  eminently  celebrated  Maryland  men. 

Born  in  Prince  George's  County,  he  was  sent 
away  from  home  to  school  when  only  eleven 
years  old,  because  of  the  death  of  his  mother. 
St..  James  College,  on  the  beautiful  and  healthful 
plateau  between  the  Blue  Ridge  and  the  Alle- 
ghanies,  in  Washington  County,  was  wisely 
chosen  for  him. 

Now  it  is  the  boys'  school  of  the  Diocese  of 
Maryland.  Then  and  long  afterwards  it  was 
presided  over  and  dominated  by  the  Reverend 
John  B.  Kerfoot;  a  great  head-master,  whose 
potent  influence  for  everything  manly  and  health- 
ful and  righteous  is  made  apparent  by  the  lives 
of  many  of  his  pupils. 

Reversing  familiar  words,  we  may  gratefully 
say  of  Dr.  Kerfoot:  the  good  that  he  did  lives 
after  him. 

At  St.  James  Mr.  Carter  earned  and  obtained 
the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  after  seven  years 
of  training  in  the  preparatory  and  collegiate  de- 
partments. 

Afterwards  he  had  the  great  advantage  of 
studying  for  his  profession  at  the  Law  School  of 
Harvard  University. 

These,  superadded  to  his  excellent  and  power- 
ful natural  gifts  of  mind  and  of  body,  constitu- 
ed  ]Mr.  Carter's  preparation  and  endowment  for 
his  part  in  the  life  and  history  of  Maryland. 

Now  tha  his  citizenship  is  elsewhere,  wdiat 
shall  we  say  concerning  his  long  sojourn  here  ? 

That  he  rose  to  the  highcit  rank  in  his  profes- 
sion, and  was  the  leader  of  the  Maryland  Bar 
for  many  years  before  and  up  to  the  time  of  his 
death,  goes  without  saying  now.  Due  recogni- 
tion has  heretofore  been  made,  more  appropri- 
ately, at  another  place. 

But  we  can  and  should  recall,  with  apprecia- 
tion and  gratitude,  the  zeal  and  faithfulness  and 
completi-uess  with   which  he   fulfilled  all  of  his 


146

obligations,  no  less  the  small  ones  than  the  great, 
as  provost  of  this  University. 

Without  regard  to  many  engagements  or  to  any 
considerations  of  personal  convenience,  he  was 
always  ready  to  serve;  and  was  present' witli  his 
colleagues  whenever  co-operation  could  be  help- 
ful. 

To  the  students,  and  especially  to  the  gradua- 
ting classes  which  year  after  year  came  up  and 
stood  before  him,  his  handsome  presence  was 
imposing,  and  his  distinguished  example  was  in- 
spiring. 

But  larger  and  wider  than  the  courts  of  law, 
more  pervasive  even  that  its  university,  is  the 
life  of  the  State  of  which  both  are  only  compo- 
nent parts. 

Considered  broadly  and  as  a  wdiole,  what  were  the 
noteworthy  characteristics  of  Bernard  Carter 
which  contributed  most  to  his  influence  as  a  man 
and  to  his  usefulness  as  a  citizen  of  the  State  ? 

In  my  opinion,  as  an  observer,  they  were  two, 
not  often  associated,  constituting  together  a  rare 
and  happy  combination.  . 

Intense,  industrious  and  unremitting  applica- 
tion of  all  of  his  great  faculties,  with  singleness 
of  purpose,  to  the  practical  affairs  of  life;  and 
concurrently  with,  but  always  in  his  mind  above 
those  things  (which  appeared  to  be  so  absorb- 
ing) ,  unshakable  certaint}'  of  and  devotion  to 
the  Christian  faith. 

He  lived  long  enough  to  see  various  and  incon- 
sistent   theories,    which    while  they  lasted  were

We  believe  our  greatly  enlarged  facilities,  and  up-to- 
date  equipment  would  amply  entiile  us  to  such  ceitifica- 
tion.  The  cliaracter  of  loork  we  have  been  doing  for  more

But,  serenely  indifferent  to  ami  undisturbed 
by  what  he  regarded  as  passing  phages  or  fan-

ed," he  stood  firmly  and  in  absolute  confidence 
upon  the  foundations  of  the  faith  once  delivered 
to  the  Saintf. 

Hence  came,  in  large  part,  the  strength  of  his 
inflexible  nature;  and  his  persistent  and  stead-

MEMORIAL   ADDRESS    ON    THE  LATE 

JOHN  WIRT  RANDALL,  LL.D.,  OF 

ANNAPOLIS,  MD. 

Delirercd  on  Academic  Day,  Nov.  13,  bi/  Mr.  Phile- 
mon H.  Tuck,  of  the  Board  of  Regents. 

Mr.  Provost,  Gentlemen  of  the  Board  of  Re- 
gents and  Faculties,  Young  Men  of  the  Student 
Body,  Ivadies  and  Gentlemen: 

John  Wirt  Randall  was  born  in  Annapolis, 
Maryland,  on  March  6,  1815,  of  distinguished 
ancestry  both  on  the  paternal  and  maternal  side. 
Probably  no  family  in  Maryland  has  contributed 
more  to  the  Nation  and  the  State  than  the  Rin- 
dalls.  Early  in  the  eighteenth  century  Thomas 
Randall,  founder  of  the  American  branch,  came 
from  England  and  settled  in  Westmoreland 
County,  Virginia.  He  became  a  large  land 
owner,  and  was  a  member  of  the  Court  of  Jus- 
tices in  that  State.  He  married  Jane  Davis, 
and  they  became  the  pivrents  of  fourteen  chil- 
dren, of  whotii  the  youngest  was  John,  born  in 
Westmoreland  County  in  1750,  the  .errand-father 
of  the  subject  of  this  memorial. 

John  Randall  went  into  business  with  Mr. 
Buckley,  an  eminent  architect  and  builder,  who 
designed  many  of  the,  celebrated  colonial  resi- 
dences and  public  buildings  in  Maryland  and 
Virginia.  John  Randall  moved  to  Annapolis  iri 
1770  with  Mr.  Buckley,  where  he  engaged  in 
business  as  an  architect,  and  assisted  in  the  con- 
struction of  part  of  the  present  State  House. 
He  designed  several  of  the  most  admirable  speci- 
mens of  colonial  architecture  in  Annapolis,  no-

table  among  them  the  mansion  now  known  as 
the  Harwood  House  on  Maryland  Avenue.  Al- 
though loyal  to  the  cause  of  the  colonists  he  was 
among  those  who  signed  the  protest  against  the 
resolution  adopted  at  a  general  meeting  held  in 
Annapolis  to  oppose  the  collection  of  debts  due 
by  the  colonists  to  British  subjects,  as  a  man  of 
his  standing  could  not  but  contest  such  a  scheme 
of  repudiation.  Throughout  the  Revolutionary 
War  he  served  in  the  different  colonies  with  the 
Maryland  line,  and  among  the  State  archives 
are  now  aiany  of  his  letters  to  the  Governor  of 
Maryland.  He  was  appointed  by  President 
Washington  Collector  of  the  Port  of  Baltimore, 
and  upon  declining  that  office  he  was  appointed 
Collector  of  the  Port  of  Annapolis,  which  he 
held  until  his  death  in  1826.  John  Randall  mar- 
ried Deborah  Knapp  of  .\nnapolis,  and  became 
the  father  of  fifteen  children,  eleven  arriving  at 
maturity,  and  si.x;  of  their  sons  became  conspic- 
uous in  the  affairs  of  this  country,  as  follows: 

Thomas  Randall,  their  second  son,  was  born 
in  1792  in  Annapolis,  and  was  graduated  from 
St.  John's  College  in  that  City,  where  he  stud- 
ied law  in  the  office  of  Chancellor  Johnson.  He 
married  Laura,  the  eldest  daughter  of  the  Hon- 
orable William  Wirt,  surviving  her  many  years. 
As  Lieutenant  he  entered  the  army  of  the  Lhii- 
ted  States  in  the  War  of  1912,  was  captured  in 
battle  and  taken  to  Quebec,  but  made  his  escape 
in  the  depth  of  winter.  After  the  war  he  be- 
came a  Captain  of  Artillery,  and  engaged  in  the 
practice  of  law  in  Washington  after  having  re- 
signed his  commission.  President  Monroe  ap- 
pointed him  a  special  agent,  his  services  in  the 
West  Indies  being  very  important  during  the 
prevalence  of  piracy  among  those  Islands.  Cap- 
tain Randall  was  appointed  in  1826  one  of  the 
three  Judges  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  terri- 
tory of  Florida,  where  he  remained  for  many 
years.  He  served  as  Adjutant-General  to  Gov- 
ernor Call  during  the  Seminole  War,  his  knowl- 
edge of  the  Indian  character  and  of  the  country 
making  his  services  most  valuable.  Judge  Ran- 
dall died  in  1877  in  Washington,  where  he  had 
resided  for  many  years. 

Daniel  Randall,  their  third  son,  was  born  in 
Annapolis,  and  also  died  in  Washington  in  1851, 
when  he  was  Assistant  Pay-Master  of  the  United 
States  Army.  Having  served  throughout  the 
War  of  1812,  be  was  commissiougd  g,  Pay-Mastei; 


in  1820.  He  fought  in  the  Indian  Wars  and  un- 
der General  Scott  in  the  Mexican  War,  and  was 
so  highly  esteemed  that  Fort  Randall  on  the 
frontier  was  named  for  him. 

Henry  K.  Randall,  the  fourth  son,  was  born  in 
Annapolis,  and  died  in  Washington  in  1877,  af- 
ter having  served  as  a  Midshipman  in  the  United 
States  Navy,  also  in  the  Militia  during  the  \\'ar  of 
1812.  Later  on  he  was  an  agent  of  the  Govern- 
ment in  closing  up  the  affairs  of  the  Choctaw 
Nation  in  Georgia. 

Richard  Randall,  their  fifth  son,  was  born  in 
1796,  in  Annapolis,  and  after  graduating  from 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania  he  served  as  sur- 
geon in  the  United  States  Army  in  the  South. 
Having  been  one  of  the  founders  and  President 
of  the  African  Colonization  Society  he  went  as 
Governor  to  Liberia.  He  had  almost  recovered 
from  an  attack  of  the  malignant  fever  of  the 
country  when  he  learned  that  a  number  of  emi- 
grants from  the  United  States  were  suffering 
from  the  lack  of  proper  medical  attendance,  and 
hastened  to  their  assistance.  He  fell  a  victim  to 
his  courage  and  humanity,  and  died  in  the  per- 
formance of  heroic  duty  in  Monrovia,  Africa,  in 
1829.  Truly  it  may  be  said  of  him,  "Greater 
love  hath  no  man  than  this,  that  a  man  lay 
down  his  life  for  his  friends." 

Burton  Randall,  their  seventh  son,  was  born 
ill  Annapolis  in  1805,  and  entered  the  LTnited 
States  Army  as  a  surgeon  after  graduating  from 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  He  served  in 
the  Seminole,  Creek  and  other  Indian  Wars, 
with  General  Scott  in  Mexico,  also  throughout 
the  war  between  the  States,  and  upon  its  termi- 
nation received  the  brevet  rank  of  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  "for  faithful  and  meritorious  service 
during  the  War."  Upon  his  retirement  he  made 
Annapolis  his  home,  and  departed  this  life  in 
1886. 

Alexander  Ram' all,  their  sixth  son,  was  born  in 
Annapolis  in  180H,  and  in  1822  was  graduated 
from  St.  John's  College,  serving  for  many  years 
and  up  the  time  of  his  death  as  a  member  of  its 
Board  of  Visitors  and  Governors.  He  studied 
law  in  his  native  City  and  was  a  member  of  the

Bar  for  more  than  fifty  years,  practicing  his  pro- 
fession in  the  Courts  of  Anne  Arun-lel,   Calvert 
and  Prince  George's   Counties,  enjoying  a  large 
practice  also  before  the  Court  of  Appeals  of  this 
State.     He   was  elected  to  Congress  in  1811  as  a 
candidate  of  the  Whig  party  in  the  district  com- 
prising   Anne    Arundel    County   and   Baltimore 
City,  was  re-elected  in  1814,  and  the  Congression- 
al Record  will  show  that  he  took  full  part  in  the 
famous  debates  of  tliat  period.     In  1851  he  was 
elected  to  the  Constitutional  Convention,   where 
he    established    a   reputation    for  active,  iutelli- 
gent,  and  able  work,  having   served  as  President 
pro  tem   of  that  Convention.     Mr.  Randall  was 
elected  in   1861   Attorney-General  of  the   State 
by  the  Union  party  of  Maryland,   holding   that 
office  until  the  Constitution  of  1867  was  adopted, 
in  the  meantime  performing  its  duties  with  con- 
spicuous ability  and  zeal.     Throughout  his  long 
life. he  was  ever  intererted  in  the  cause  of  educa- 
tion, having  organized   in   Annapolis  under  the 
Act  of  1825  the  first  prim  iry  school  in  the  State, 
and  for  many  years  as  Trustee  or  Commissioner 
promoted  without  compensation  our  school  sys- 
tem.    He  took  upon  himself  more  than  his  share 
of  the  best  civic  work  in  the  place  of  his   birth, 
and   through    his    influence   laws    were  enacted 
which  established  the  Annapolis  Water  Company 
and  the  Annapolis  Gas  Company,    ahnost  novel- 
ties   at   the    time,    serving  as  President  of  each 
Company.     He  was  also  one  of  the  promoters 
and  directors  of  the   Annapjlis  Elkridge  Rail- 
road Company,  the  second  to   be  established   in 
the  United  States.     Mr.  Randall  gave  his  time 
freely   to   the    better    things  in  life,  as  for  many 
years   he   served    as    Vestryman    of  St.    Anne's 
Church,  Annapolis,  frequently  being  elected  del- 
egate to  the  Diocesan  Conventions,   serving  sev- 
eral times  also  as  delegate  from  this  Diocese  to  the 
Triennial  Convention  of  the  Episcopal  Churcli. 
In  1877  Mr.  Randall    was   elected    President    of 
the    FirmiM-s'  National   Bank  of  Annapolis,  and 
served  in  that  capacity  until    his    death,    which 
occurred    in  1881.     Mr.  Randall  married  Cathe- 
rine, daughter  of  William  Wirt,  one  of  the  most 
brilliant  lawyers  of  the  Maryland  Bar,  who  was 
for  twelve  yeans  Attorny-General  of  the  United

It  will  be  observed  that  of  the  si.x:  Randalls 
who.se  careers  are  described  above,  five  fought  in 
the  defense  of  their  country,  a  most  remarkable 
record . 

.John  Wirt  Randall,  the  oldest  son  of  this  mar- 
riage, was  educated  at  St.  John's    C(.)llege,    and 
after  this  Institution  was  closed  during  the  AVar 
continued  his  studies  at  Burlington  College,  New 
Jersey,and  afterwards  entered  the  Sheffield  Scien- 
tific School  at  Yale.  He  received  from  St.  John's 
College  in  1906  the  degree  of  LL.  D.     With  such 
mental  equipment  he  entered    upon  the  study  of 
law  under  peculiarly  excellent  advantages  in  the 
office  of  Randall  &  Hagner,  the  firm  being  com- 
posed of  his  father  and  cousin,  Alexander  Bur- 
ton Hagner,  the  famous  trial  lawyer, and  lateran 
able   associate    Judge    of  the  Supreme  Bench  of 
the  District  of  Columbia,  and  soon  after  his  ad- 
mission to  the  Bar  became  activly  engaged  in  the 
practice  of  his  profession  as  partner  of  the   firm 
of  Randall    &    Hagner,    who    were  at  that  time 
among  the  most  prominent  lawyers  in  Maryland. 
His  first  appearance  in  the  Court  of  Appeals  of 
Maryland  was  in   behalf  of  the  appellee  in  the 
case   of  the  State,  use  of  Trustees  of  the  Metho- 
disi-  Episcopal  Church,  vs.  Warren  and  others, 28 
Md.,  page  338,  and  the  decision  rendered  on  the 
4th  day  of  March,  1868,  was  in   his  favor.     In 
the  last  case  which  Mr.    Randall    tried   in    that 
Court,  Frank  M.  Duvall,  vs.  the  Maryland  Elec- 
tric Railway  Company,  114  Md.,   page  298,    de- 
cided .January  lOth,  1911,   he  again  appeared  for 
the   Appellee,    and    was    also  successful,  having 
gained  both  of  these  cases  in  the  Lower  as  well 
as  the  Higher  Court.     Through  a  period  of    for- 
ty-four years  the  Maryland    Reports    will    show 
that  he  appeared  before  the  highest  Court  in  this 
State,  and  as  he  was  easily  the  leader  of  the  Bar 
of    Anne    Arundel    County,    he    invariably   ap- 
peared in  Court  thoroughly  prepared  both  in  re- 
spect to  the  facts  and  the  law,  as  he  was  alwa:^  s 
a  deep  student  of  the   principles  involved.     His 
manner  was  ever  courteous,    dignified   and   forc- 
ible,   dealing  fairly   with  his  opponent,  because 
he  was  reared  in  his  profession  at  a  time   when 
one  lawyer  could  truthfully  address  another  as  his 
brother.     Early  in  life  he  became  very  much  in- 
terested   in    the    affairs    of  his  native  City,  and 
although   he   declined   the   nomination   for   the

mayoralty  was  elected  several  times  to  the  City 
Council,  where  his  services  were  invaluable,  as 
he  reformed  the  financial  system  of  the  City 
and  Anne  Arundel  County.  Mr.  Randall  was 
elected  for  two  terms  City  Counsellor  of  Annap- 
olis, and  during  his  encumbency  prepared  a  Code 
of  Ordinances,  which  has  proved  of  invaluable 
service  to  every  lawyer  at  that  Bar,  because  he 
brought  to  the  performance  of  this  work  the 
same  fidelity  and  thoroughness  which  he  always 
bestowed  upon  every  duty  confided  to  him.  He 
was  appointed  United  States  Register  in  Bank- 
ruptcy at  a  time  when  that  branch  of  the  law 
was  possibly  in  more  confusion  than  at  this 
time,  and  again  he  performed  a  full  measure  of 
service,  both  to  the  Government,  as  well  as  to 
the  debtors  and  creditors  involved  in  the  cases 
which  came  before  him.  He  was  such  a  studious 
member  of  his  profession  that  I  really  believe  he 
truly  enjoyed  his  appointment  as  a  memb.r  of 
the  State  Board  of  Law  Examiners,  made  by  our 
Court  of  Appeals,  a  position  he  held  at  the  time 
of  his  death.  It  is  small  wonder  tnen  that  with 
such  training  he  should  have  made  an  admira- 
ble record  in  the  State  Legislature,  where  he 
served  during  the  session  of  1881,  having  been 
the  candidate  of  the  Republican  minority  for  the 
Speakership  of  the  House,  as  a  member  of  the 
Judiciary  and  other  important  Committees.  Mr. 
Randall  throughout  his  life  was  a  consistant 
party  man,  representing  and  upholding  the  best 
that  was  in  the  Republican  party,  but  in  the 
discussion  of  public  questions  argued  fairly  and 
was  open  to  conviction.  He  introduced,  and 
succeeded  in  having  passed,  the  bill  creating  Arbor 
Day,  which  has  been,  and  will  ever  be,  of  incal- 
culable benefit  to  the  State.  In  the  sessions  of 
the  Legislature  of  1888  and  1890  he  represented 
Anne  Arundel  Cjnuty  in  the  Senate,  being  one 
of  the  most  active  members  of  the  body,  and  as 
a  msmber  af  the  Committee  on  Elections  threw 
the  whole  force  of  his  character  and  strength  in 
behalf  of  reform  legislation,  and  particularly  of 
the  bill  providing  for  the  Australian  ballot,  tak- 
ing a  most  important  part  in  all  of  the  leading 
debates  upon  the  floor  of  the    Senate.     In    1896

he  was  again  returned  to  the  Senate,  and  in  1898 
Mr.  Rindall  was  elected  President  of  the  Senate, 
bringing  to  this  high  office  the  greatest  degree  of 
dignity,  courtesy  and  impirtiality  in  his  rulings, 
which    were    recognized    by  both    parties    in  the 
handsome   testimonial  presented   to  him  at  the 
close  of  the  session.     His  experience  in  the  Leg- 
islature was  likely  an  incentive  to  an  earnest  ef- 
fort  to    have    the    State   and    Municipal    Offices 
placed    umler    the    Civil    Service  System,  as  for 
many  years  he  was  a  close  sta.lent  of  the  sutiject, 
having   a   long    time   been  a  member  of  the  Re- 
form Association  of  Maryland,   and  also  served 
as  President  of  the   Maryland  Civil  Service  Re- 
form As50ci  ition  in  189S   and    1899,    being   for 
many  years  thereafter  one  of  its  Vice-Presidents, 
and  remaining  a  member  of  that  body   until   his 
death.     Upon  the  death  of  his  father  Mr.    Ran- 
dall succeeded   him   in   1831  as  President  of  the 
Farmers  National  Bank  of  Annapolis,  and   held 
that  olfije  at  the  time  of  his  death,   embracing 
a  period  of  thirty-one  years,  an^l  during  his  ad- 
ministration the  Bank  grew  and  was  strengthen- 
ed   until    it  has    become  one    of  the  important 
financial    institutions    of  the   State.     Because  of 
his  prominence  in  this  connection  he  was  elected 
President  of  the  Maryland  Banking  Association, 
before  which   he  delivered  two  addresses,  which 
have  since  been  published  oecause  of  their  very 
great  merit,  the  topic  discussed  being  respectively, 
''Early  Oolonial  Currencies, "  and  "The  Centen- 
ary of  the  Earliest  Banks  in  the  United  States." 
He   succeeded    his   father  as  a  member  of  the 
Board  of  Visitors  and  Governors  of  St.    John's 
College,    and    was   elected   President,  serving  in 
that  capacity  until  his  death.     An  esamination 
of  the  recor.ls  will  now  show  that    the    name    of 
Randall  has  been   honorably  and  eminently  as- 
sociated with  St.    John's  College  for  more  than 
one  hundred  years.     In    the    discussions    before 
our    Board    his   position  upon  almost  all  impor- 
tantquestions  was  the  final  decision, because  we  re- 
cognized that  he  was  the  foremost  man  among  us. 
When  the  proposed  affiliation  between  St.  John's 
College  and  the  University  of  Maryland  was  laid 
before  the  Board  of  the    College,    after    diligent 
study  of  the  proposition  it  met  the  approval  of 
Mr.    Randall,     and    with    enthusiasm    lie    pre- 
pared the  agreement  which  now  obtains  lietween 
these    two   great    Institutions    of  learning.      He 
became  a  useful  member  of  the  Boaid  of  Regents 


150 


OLD  MARYLAND. 


of  our  University,  always  showing  the  greatest  in- 
terest in  the  success  of  this  new  step  in  the  life 
of  St.  John's,  and  because  of  his  valuable  ser- 
vices to  the  University  the  request  was  made  by 
the  Regents  that  this  just  memorial  should  be 
prepared.  He  was  interested  in  everything  con- 
nected with  the  College  and  its  campus,  espe- 
cially in  the  old  tulip  poplar,  which  has  been 
pronounced  by  the  greatest  authoritity  on  tree 
life  to  be  possibly  one  thousand  years  old. 
Among  his  poems,  too  few  in  number,  but  all  in 
exquisite  taste,  is  one  entitled,  "To  the  Old  Tu- 
lip Poplar  on  St.  John's  Campus,"  the  first 
stanza  of  which  reads: 

"Far  up  among  your  massive,  rugged  limbs, 

Quivering  upon  your  myria'd,  shining  leaves, 
Tlie  moon-liglit  falls,  the  night-wiad  sings  its  hymns; 

And  there  in  visions  fancy  soars  and  weaves. 
That  music  tuned  the  poet-soul  of  Key; 

That  light  touched    Pinkney's  tongue  with  deathless 
fire; 
And  here  Peale  felt  the  artist's  ectas}'. 

But  there  are  other  voices  in  that  choir 
Of  whisperiagboughs  and  leaves  that  lure  us  from  today, 

Back  through  the  bygone  centuries,  far,  far  away." 

.  His  mind  seemed  naturally  to  lead  him  into 
the  intimate  study  of  the  history  of  his  State 
and  City,  which  induced  him  to  avail  himself  of 
the  advantages  of  membership  in  the  Maryland 
Historical  Society.  In  an  exceedingly  interest- 
ing paper  upon  Annapolis  delivered  before  the 
Johns  Hopkins  Summer  School  in  1911,  I  heard 
him  make  the  statement  that  when  a  boy  he  had 
only  to  cross  the  street  from  his  home  to  reach  the 
old  land  office,  where  he  loved  to  spend  hours  and 
hours,  delving  among  the  most  ancient  archives 
of  the  State,  and  he  had  as  thorough  knowledge 
of  them  as  any  Other  member  of  his  profession; 
for  this  reason  he  was  frequently  called  upon  to 
deliver  addresses  upon  such  subjects;  notable 
was  his  oration  upon  the  occasion  of  the  two 
hundred  and  fiftieth  anniversary  of  the  settle- 
ment of  Annapolis. 

But  better  than  all,  the  christian  side  of  this 
man  was  the  best.  One  of  the  most  admirable 
contributions  in  connection  with  the  history  of 

German  Savings  Bank  of  Baltimore  City

Annapolis  was  Mr.  Randall's  published  work  on 
the  history  of  St.  Anne's  Parish  from  the  ear- 
liest colonial  times  to  the  present,  this  work  be- 
ing of  even  greater  interest  to  one  who  received 
his  first  Communion  in  that  Church.  For  more 
than  a  quarter  of  a  century  he  was  Treasurer  i  nd 
Vestryman  of  St.  Anne's,  in  which  office  his 
father  had  also  served  for  many  years,  and  it  is 
a  splendid  inspiration  to  know  that  this  good 
son  followed  his  good  father  in  so  many  walks  of 
life,  lawyer,  legislator,  educator,  banker,  writer 
and  churchman.  Time  and  again  Mr.  Randall 
was  a  member  of  the  Diocesan  Convem ion,  and 
four  times  was  sent  as  a  delegate  to  the  Cxeneral 
Triennial  Episcopal  Convention,  which  is  cer- 
tainly regarded  as  one  of  the  ablest  of  our  delib- 
erative assemblies,  and  he  took  a  full  share  in 
the  proceedings  and  debates  of  both  the  Dioce- 
san and  General  Conventions.  He  was  made 
Historiographer  of  the  Convention,  being  the 
first  person  to  occupy  that  position  in  this  Dio- 
cese, at  one  of  the  last  Diocesan  Conventions 
presided  over  by  the  late  Bishop,  William  Paret, 
who  was  his  warm  personal  friend,  as  was  also 
Bishop  John  Gardner  Murray.  He  was  regard- 
ed as  a  conservative,  and  in  the  discussion  inci- 
dent to  the  change  in  the  standing  Committee  of 
the  diocese  he  opposed  the  admission  of  lay  del- 
egates on  the  ground  that  the  Church  had  made 
commendable  progress  under  the  Clergy.  Not- 
withstanding the  Convention  in  May,  1912,  did 
not  accept  this  view,  Mr.  Randall  was  placed  in 
nomination,  and  elected  by  a  large  vote.  Mr. 
Joseph  Packard  had  been  nominated  as  a  mem- 
ber of  this  Committee,  but  withdrew  his  name, 
and  then  I  heard  Mr.  Randall  make  his  last 
speech;  although  in  feeble  health  he  with  vigor 
expressed  to  the  Convention  the  great  service 
Mr.  Packard  had  rendered  the  Church,  and  the 
importance  of  having  him  serve  upon  the  stand- 
ing Committee,  and  thus  upon  the  last  call  of 
his  Church  Mr.  Randall  answered,  "Present." 
To  fully  appreciate  Mr.  Randall's  gieat  service 
to  the  Church  one  must  have  lived  in  Annapolis 
and  have  been  brought  under  his  influence,  and 
the  influence  of  Rev.  Dr.  William  S.  Southgate. 
who  died  on  Whit  Sunday  in  the  thirtieth  year 
of  his  pastorate  of  St.  Anne's.  These  beautiful 
words  of  Mr.  Randall  taken  from  his  poem, 
"The  Rector  of  St.  Anne's,  A  Meditation,',' 
express  the  love  of  his  congregation.

"In  weal  and  woe;  at  wedding,  font  and  grave, 
His  life  a  blessing  was  to  generations  here; 
The  pure  and  simple  Word  of  God  yon  pulpit  gave; 

He  helped  the  widow,  wiped  the  orphan's  tear. 

"HCe  gave  to  God  ami  min  unselfish  love; 
On  the  calm  Sabbath-evening.of  the  Whitsuntide, 
God's  messenger  descended,  gentl}'  as  the  Dove, 

Ju'it  touched  the  faiihfiil  bosom— and  he  died.'' 

This  narrative  would  not  be  complete  without 
reference  to  the  ideal  home  life  of  Mr.  Randall, 
and  with  reverence  we  draw  aside  the  curt&in  to 
gaze  upon  the  beautiful  relation  he  sustained  to 
his  family,  as  son,  elder  brother,  hu.sbanJ  and 
father. 

The  last  time  the  writer  met  Mr.  Randall  was 
in  June  of  this  year  at  a  meeting  of  the  Board 
of  Gjvernors  and  Visitors  of  St.  .John's  College, 
when  the  honorary  degrees  were  determined 
upjn,  bjing  therefore  the  most  impDrtant  meet- 
ing of  the  yeai,  and  Mr.  Randall  though  in 
■weakened  health  felt  it  his  duty  to  be  present,  as 
duty  always  controlled  the  actions  of  his  life. 
Shortly  thereafter  the  friends  of  Mr.  Randall 
learned  that  his  conlition  hal  grown  worse,  so 
maoh  so  that  they  c3uld.not  be  admitted  to  his 
presence,  and  thjy  thjn  bagaa  to  realize  what 
the  loss  of  such  a  m-m  would  mean  in  the  com- 
ma'iity  which  it  was  always  his  pleasure  to  up- 
lift to  a  higher  plans.  N.)ch3eria3  news  came 
from  the  sick  ri:)Kn,  bat  his  friends  knew  that 
he  was  facing  th 3  inevitable  with  patience  and 
courage,  the  courage  of  his  militant  ancestors, 
with  resignation  and  the  true  faith  of  the  con- 
si.stant  Christian.  On  Augast  16th  he  entered 
upon  rest  and  peace,  the  peace  of  God  which 
passeth  all  understanding,  and  hi-,  ashes  now 
repose  with  those  of  his  dear  departed  in  the  old 
cemstery  of  St.  Anne's  Church,  Annapolis,  which 
lie  loved  anl  served  so  devotedly  all  through  his 
beautiful  life. 

This  only  too  inade^iuate  tribute  might  readily 
have  been  rendered  by  an  ither  more  effectively, 
and  with  greater  grace,  but  not  in  deeper  ten- 
derness, because  his  death  severed  a  friendship 
which  continued  unbroken  from  early  childhood 
to  the  end,  even  to  the  very  end.

for  the  Advancement  of  Teaching,  and  submit- 
ted a  satisfactory  report  regarding  the  qualifica- 
tions of  St.  .John's,  for  .entrance  therein. 

Earl  Crum  of  the  Senior  Class  and  Raymond 
E.  Staley,  '12,  took  the  e.Kamination  held  re- 
cently at  Hopkins  for  the  Maryland  Rhodes 
Scholarship. 

1  he  present  Sophomore  Class  has  voluntarily 
signed  a  formal  written  pledge  of  honor  to  ab- 
stain from  all  hazing,  thus  reinforcing  the  un- 
derstanding entered  into  upon  matriculation. 
Hazing  is  now  a  thing  of  the  past. 

The  Faculty  of  St.  John's  has  formed  a  club 
for  the  promotion  of  social  and  intellectual  in- 
tercourse among  its  members.  Meetings  are  held 
periodically  and  addressed  from  time  to  time  by 
various  members  of  the  faculty. 

On  Oct.  23rd  four  companies  of  Coast  Artil- 
lery, U.  S.  A.,  now  stationed  at  Fort  Howard, 
marched  into  Annapolis  on  a  practice  "hike" 
and  pitched  camp  over  night  on  the  rear  cam- 
pus. The  military  camp  was  an  interesting  sight. 

Considerable  interest  was  manifested  by  the 
students  in  the  outcome  of  the  Pre.-idential  elec- 
tion. A  dozen  or  more  exercised  the  right  of 
franchise  and  some  were  engaged  in  local  cam- 
paign work.  A  poll  of  sentiment  in  Chapel  dis- 
closed a  great  majority  in  favor  of  Governor 
Wilson.  The  morning  after  election  enthusiasm 
was  rampant  in  Chapel  and  one  of  the  students 
spoke  briefly  upon  the  result. 

The  Cotillion  Club  announces  a  series  of  eight 
formal  hops  for  1912-1913,  viz:  Dec.  13,  Jan. 
10,  Jan.  31,  Mar.  28,  Aprilll,  April  25,  May 
10  and  May  30.  Informal  dances  will  be  held 
from  time  to  time. 

St.  John's  is  preparing  diligently  for  the  an- 
nual contest  with  Hopkins.  The  team  has  met 
defeat  but  once  this  season.  It  had  the  services 
for  two  weeks  of  .Jack  Cates  of  Yale,  and  is  as- 
sisted by  Dalton  and  Weems,  All-Ameriean 
stirs  of  the  Navy  team  last  year.  On  Oct.  30th 
the  team  held  a  very  profitable  practice  scrim- 
mage with  the  Navy  eleven.  C.  M.

A  worthy  tribute  was  paid  on  Oct.  22,  when 
a  banquet  was  tendered  Professor  Randolph  Wins- 
low  by  the  Medical  Faculty  at  University  Hos- 
pital on  the  occasion  of  his  60th  anniversary. 
Dr.  Hemmeter  acted  as  master  of  ceremonies 
and  congratulations  were  extended  by  him  and 
by  Drs.  R.  Dorsey  Ooale,  Arthur  M.  Shipley, 
Ernest  Zueblin  and  Eugene  F.  Cordell .  The  per- 
sonal worth  and  valuable  services  to  the  Univer- 
sity of  the  guest  were  freely  extolled.  Dr.  Wins- 
low  made  an  impressive  reply  in  which  he  re- 
viewed his  medical  career.  The  transition  to 
old  age  of  our  esteemed  colleague  is  more  nomi- 
nal than  real.     Happily  his   sturdy    frame   and 


We  are  glad  to  announce  the  completion  of  the 
Editorial  Staff  for  the  year.  Mr.  Wm.  Ernest 
Mcintosh,  of  South  Carolina,  is  the  appointee 
of  the  Dental  Department.  He  is  from  Lynch- 
burg, S.  C,  at  the  High  School  of  which  he  re- 
ceived his  education.  Mr.  Calvert  Magruder 
represents  St.  .John's  College.  He  has  already 
distinguished  himself  in  his  studies  and  is  the 
Editor-in-Chief  of  St.  John's  Collegian.  The 
Medical  Department  will  be  looked  after  by  Mr. 
Norbert  Charles  Nitsch,  President  of  the  Senior 
Class.  Nr.  N.  is  an  A.  B.  graduate  of  Mt.  St. 
Joseph's  College  and  is  at  present  an  Interne  in 
University  Hospital.  Mr.  Herbert  L.  Grymes, 
of  Balto.,  a  graduate  of  the  Baltimore  City  Col- 
lege and  President  of  the  Senior  Law  Class, 
will  represent  that  Department.  Miss  Sonnen- 
burg,who  has  worked  so  faithfulJv  for  the  De- 
partment of  Pharmacy  since  last  spring,  will 
continue  as  its  Associate-Editor  for  the  rest  of 
the  year.  We  may  congratulate  ourselves  on 
these  excellent  appointments  which  augur  well  for 
the  sessions  of  1912  and  1913. 


Mr.  Wm.  T.  Brantley,  '74,  has  resigned  the 
post  of  Reporter  for  the  Maryland  Court  of  Ap- 
peals, which  he  has  filled  with  much  credit  for 
the  last  18  years.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  incum- 
bent of  this  office  to  prepare  the  decisions  of  the 
Court  for  publication,  placing  at  the  head  the 
points  at  issue,  a  brief  history  and  the  features 
of  the  decision.  Mr.  Brantley  studied  at  the 
Universities  of  Maryland  and  Leipzig.  In  1S85 
he  was  called  to  occupy  a  chair  in  the  Faculty  of 
Law  of  this  University,  in  1893  he  became  Sec- 
retary of  State  and  in  1894  took  the  position 
which  he  has  just  resigned.  He  has  suffered  re- 
cently from  impaired  sight,  due  to  his  studious 
habits  and  has  doubtless  acted  wisely  in  retiring 
from  active  duty  at  the  age  of  60.  He  is  now  in 
Paris.  Mr.  Brantley  is  the  author  of  authorita- 
tive reports,  having  written  besices  his  ''Digest 
of  Maryland  Reports,"  works  on  "Contracts 
and  Personal  Property."  His  successor  is  Mr. 
Wm.  H.  Perkins,  Jr.  '88,  who  is  said  to  be 
highly  qualified  for  the  post  having  already  fill- 
ed it  in  Mr.   Brantley's  absence  and  being  the

Academic  Day  marking  the  123rd  anniversary  of 
the  opening  of  St.  -John's  College,  was  celebrated 
with  the  usual  pomp  and  circumstance  on  the 
12th  inst.  The  Regents  and  Faculties  assembled 
in  Davidge  Hall,  the  students  of  the  several  de- 
partments gathered  on  the  caa^pus.  The  St. 
John's  cadets  came  from  Annapolis  in  electric 
cars  and  marched  to  the  place  of  meeting,  head- 
ed by  their  band.  There  were  many  tokens  of 
good  feeling  between  the  students  of  the  two  in- 
stitutions and  college  yells  were  frequent.  At 
10.20  the  procession  started  for  Westminster 
Church  with  band  playing  and  class  flags  dotting 
the  line  at  intervals.  Hon.  Henry  Stockbridge, 
of  the  Faculty  of  L-.w,  the  acting  Provost,  pre- 
sided. Invocation  was  made  by  Rev.  T.  G. 
Koontz,  D.  D.,  Pastor  of  the  Church  and  the 
addresses  followed,  interspersed  with  music.  Pro- 
fessor Ernest  Zueblin  spoke  on  "Aims  of  Clini- 
cal Teaching,"  Mr.  Arthur  George  Brown,  of 
the  Baltimore  Bar,  spoke  on  the  late  Provost, 
Mr.  Bernard  Carter  and  Mr.  Philemon  H.  Tuck 
spoke  on  the  late  Mr.  .John  Wirt  Randall,  of  An- 
napolis. These  memorial  addresses  appear  in 
the  present  issue.  At  the  close,  Judge  Stock- 
bridge  made  an  announcement  which  elicited  the 
greatest  applause,  viz:  That  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Hem- 
meter  had  that  day  placed  in  his  hands  to  be 
added  to  the  endowment  of  the  "Hemmetur 
Chair,'"  securities  and  cash  to  the  amount  of 
85,300,  making  the  total  amount  of  that  Fund 
§10,000.  The  weather  was  superb,  the  attend- 
a:ic3  large  aui  evdrythuig  c.ileulatei  to  coadaoe 
to  the  success  of  this  memorable  ooeasion  in  the 
University's  career. 

Special  mention  must  be  made  of  the  music, 
always,  under  Dr.  Hopkiuson's  direction,  first- 
class.  A  special  feature  of  it  was  the  Academic 
March,  ''The  University  of  Maryland,"  com- 
posed by  the  University  Organist,  Professor 
Robert  LeRoy  Haslup,  and  played  by  him  on  the 
organ  as  the  procession  entered.     The  Quartette

assisted  by  Drs.  Willse,  Brent,  Carroll,  Mitchell 
and  the  Class  Marshals. 


During  the  last  two  weeks,  the  University  has 
been  visited  by  several  prominent  persons  in  the 
interest  of  higher  medical  education.  First 
came  Dr.  A.  D.  Bevan,  representing  the  Amer- 
ican Medical  Association.  At  a  luncheon  at 
L^niversity  Hospital,  he  met  delegates  from  this 
University,  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Sur- 
geons and  the  Baltimore  Medical  College,  and  in 
an  address  to  ihem  sought  to  impress  them  with 
the  necessity  of  a  union  of  these  institutions. 
He  told  them  very  frankly  that  in  his  opinion 
there  was  no  future  for  any  one  of  them  as  at 
present  conducted  aad  that  their  only  safety  and 
continuance  were  to  be  secured  by  their  com- 
bining their  resources  to  form  a  great  and  pow- 
erful institution,  worthy  to  stand  by  the  side  of 
the  Johns  Hopkins.  Xo  result  is  yet  apparent 
from  this  conference. 

A  week  later  an  inspection  of  the  three  insti- 
tutions was  made  by  three  gentlemen,  viz:  Dr. 
N.  P.  Colwell,  Secretary  of  the  Council  on  xMedi- 
cal  Education  of  the  A.  M.  A.,  Dr.  W.  J. 
Means,  Chairman  of  the  Executive  Committee 
of  the  Association  of  American  Medical  Colleges 
and  Professor  C.  F.  "Waite,  Vice  President  of  ihe 
same  Association.  These  gentlemen  made  a  very 
thorough  inspection  of  the  above  institutions. 
At  ours,  they  spent  several  hours,  their  interest 
being  especially  centered  in  the  laboratories,  the 
hospital  and  the  library.  Everything  was  for- 
tunately in  shipshape  and  ihey  could  not  have 
chosen  a  time  more  favorable  for  us.  The  lab- 
oratories had  been  thoroughly  overhauled  and 
equipped,  the  lecture  rooms  and  halls  were  invi-

ting  with  their  new  coats  of  paint,  etc.,  the  li- 
brary was  imposing  a.nd  its  new  steam  lieating 
plant  gave  assurance  of  comfort  during  the  win- 
ter and  mir  magnificent  hospital — well,  that 
seemed  to  impress  them  more  than  anything. 
One  of  them  remarked  upon  its  size,  its  equip- 
ment and  its  excellent  service  and  we  could 
not  help  feeling  vcr/  proud.  It  will  astonish  us 
beyond  measure,  if  these  gentlemen  do  not  in 
their  reports  give  us  full  credit  for  these  evi- 
dences of  our  being  thoroughly  up-to-date  and 
undo  the  injustice  they  did  a  year  ago  in  reduc- 
ing us  to  the  B  Class.  The  Department  of  Med- 
icine of  the  University  of  Maryland  is  at  this 
moment  among  the  best  medical  schools  in  the. 
country  and  none  of  its-friends  need  feel  asham- 
ed of  it.  But  this  should  not  make  us  relax 
our  efforts  for  its  endowment;  it  needs  that 
acutely  and  our  future  will  depend  upon  our 
ability  to  obtain  a  large  and  adequate  endow- 
ment.

Dr.  Rxndolph  Wiuslow  continues  the  account 
of  his  visit  to  the  Panama  Canal,  in  the  October 
Hoip.  Ball.  Colon,  situated  at  the  Atlantic  end 
of  ihe  canal  and  railroad  contains  17,000  inhab- 
itants, of  many  nationalities.  The  bay  on  which 
it  is  situated  is  protected  by  a  long  breakwater 
and  strong  fortifications  are  being  constructed. 
The  streets  have  been  raised,  curbed  and  paved 
or  macadamised.  There  are  waterworks  with  an 
abundant  supply  of  pure  water.  The  houses  are 
mostly  of  wood  with  a  few  stone  ones.  The  san- 
itation and  policing  are  done  by  this  country. 
Adjoining  it  is  Cristobal,  which  is  entirely  with- 
in the  jurisdiction  of  the  U.  S.  Hjre  are  located 
the  commissary,  laundry  and  offices  of  the  Canal 
Commission.  The  Cjlon  Hospital  is  located  on  the 
bay  and  consists  of  detached  buildings  with  ac- 
commodations for  about  500  inmates.  Several 
long  wharfs  accommodate  the  many  large  ships 
arriving  there.  The  railroad  across  the  isthmus  to 
the  town  of  Panama  is  47  miles  long.  It  is  broad- 
guaged,  double-tracked  and  well-ballasted.     The

country  is  flat  and  marshy  for  25  miles,  then  be- 
comes hilly,  the  highest  point  being  over  500  feet. 
Along  the  line  are  the  10th  U.  S.  Infantry  and 
a  battalion  of  marines  and  the  Oanal  Zone  is 
policed  by  mounted  ofificers.  Panama,  a  oily  of 
35,000,  was  reached  after  a  ride  of  2^  hours.  It 
is  a  bustling  town  on  Panama  Bay,  with  well- 
paved,  clean  streets,  and  much  mixed  popula- 
tion.    A  street-car  line  is  being  built. 

The  original  city  of  Panama,  five  miles  dis- 
tant, was  founded  in  1519  and  destroyed  by  pi- 
rates in  1670.  Panama  is  destined  to  become 
one  of  the  important  ports  of  the  world.  The 
bay  is  shallow  with  a  daily  variation  of  21  feet 
in  the- tide;  hence  ships  must  land  at  Balboa, 
the  Pacific  end  of  the  canal,  whence  steamships 
go  to  all  western  ports.  The  name  ij.ilboa  is 
very  prominent  on  the  Isthmus.  Adjoining 
Panama  is  the  American  settlement,  Ancon, 
where  are  the  administration  headquarters  and 
a  large  hotel,  built  and  conducted  by  the  Canal 
Commission;  also  the  great  Ancon  Hospital  of 
1500  beds.  Among  U.  M.  men  met  here,  were 
Dr.  Howard  V.  Dutrow,  '04  and  Dr.  .James  C. 
Perry,  '85,  the  latter  chief  quarantine  officer  of 
the  Isthmus. 

The  Canal  Zone  extends  five  miles  on  either 
side  of  the  canal,  and  is  under  exclusive  control 
of  the  U.  S.  It  will  be  largely  depopulated, 
only  employes  being  left.  There  was  no  evidence 
of  cultivation,  except  of  bananas.  The  climate 
is  like  that  of  midsum-ner  in  Baltimore,  with 
usirally  a  good  breeze  and  great  humidity.  The 
employes  are  fed  entirely  through  the  cold  stor- 
age plant  at  Colon.

The  Annual  Meeting  and  Banquet  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association  was  held  at  the  Hotel  Rennert, 
on  the  evening  of  Academic  Day.  Dr.  Charles 
E.  Sadtler,  President,  presided.  The  attendance, 
while  not  large,  was  highly  representative  of  the 
best  elements  of  the  alumni  body.  The  banquet 
was  most  excellent  in  every  way,  viands  and 
service.  The  two  speeches  of  the  evening,  de- 
livered by  Rev.  Mr.  Parrish,  Rector  of  St.  Luke's 
P.  E.  Church,  and  Dr.  Hiram  Woods,  were  in 
good  taste  and  of  unusual  merit .  The  occasion 
was  thoroughly  enjoyed  by  all  who  were  present. 
A  motion  looking  to  the  change  of  the  date  of 
the  banquet  was  adopted.  The  following  are 
the  officers  elected  for  the  ensuing  year:

HISTORICAL  NOTES. 

In  a  paper  entitled  "Recollections  of  Balti- 
more" (Md.  Hist.  Mag.,  Sept.),  read  before  the 
Historical  Society  in  1814,  Mr.  Robert  Gilmor, 
one  of  the  older  citizens  of  that  time,  gives  much 
interesting  information  regarding  the  early  his- 
tory of  Baltimore.  In  1781  he  says  Calvert  St. 
at  the  site  of  the  battle  monument  was  a  hill  60- 
100  ft.  above  the  water  le\el  at  the  foot  of  the 
street  and  30-40  ft.  above  the  present  level  of 
the  street.  On  this  hill,  occupying  nearly  the 
width  of  the  street  was  the  old  Court  House  with 
the  pillory  on  one  side  and  the  jail  to  the  west. 
About  this  time  a  subscription  was  raised  among 
the  citizens  to  level  and  extend  the  street  by  un- 
derpinning and  underarching  this  building, 
which  was  satisfactorilj'  accomplished  by  an  eir- 
terprising  architect  named  Harbaugh.  In  the 
rear  of  the  Court  House  there  was  a  steep  de- 
scent to  Jones'  Falls  which  then  flowed  close 
under  the  hill  turning  thence  at  an  angle  east- 
ward  parallel  to  Saratoga  St.     On  the  bank,  cor-

responding  about  with  the  present  site  of  the 
south-east  corner  of .Le.xington  St.  and  the 
square,  was  a  powder  magazine  with  a  small 
wharf  in  front  of  it,  to  which  boats  came  for 
powder  during  the  Revolution.  The  water  at 
this  point  was  deep  and  the  boys  used  to  swim 
and  dive  in  it.  The  flat  formed  by  the  bend  of  the 
stream,  was  called  Steiger's  Meadow.  On  the 
heights  to  the  west  of  the  Falls  were  the  Dutch 
Reformed  church  and  St.  Paul's  church,  the  lat- 
ter a  wooden  structure  with  a  belfrey  which  re- 
mained along  time  after  the  church  was  pulled 
down,  and  still  farther  west  the  R.  C.  Chapel. 
About  25  years  later  the  old  Court  House  was  pull  ■ 
ed  down  and  its  site  formed  into  a  square, on  the 
west  of  which, occupying  the  northern  half  of  the 
block,  a  new  one  was  erected  which  finally  gave 
way  for  the  present  magnificent  building.  When 
the  Washington  Monument  was  projected,  it  was 
first  proposed  to  erect  it  on  thesquare,  but  the 
present  site  was  chosen,  at  the  corner  of  Charles 
and  Monument  Sts.,  being  donated  by  Col.  John 
Eager  Howard. 

When  Mr.  G.  came  to  Baltimore  in  1778,  it 
was  a  small  village.  There  were  a  few  scattered 
houses  at  Fell's  Point,  which  was  the  residence  of 
the  principal  shipping  merchants  and  between  it 
and  the  "Town"  were  cornfields  and  trees.  The 
lower  part  of  .Jones'  Falls  was  a  marsh,  crossing 
which  from  East  to  West  were  two  or  three 
bridges.  Most  of  the  houses  in  the  Town  were 
two  story  and  of  wood.  The  market  was  at  the 
north-west  corner  of  "Market"  (Balto.)  St.  and 
Gay,  the  \yatch  House  and  alarm  bell  being  at 
the  end.  The  country  people  with  carta  lined 
both  sides  of  Gay  whilst  others  occupied  the  side- 
walks of  Market  St.  Later  the  market  was  turn- 
ed into  an  assembly  room  where  balls  were  held . 
Market  St.  was  unpaved  and  he  recollected  see- 
ing a  drummer  of  the  army,  when  it  marched 
through  the  town  to  the  South  about  1781, nearly 
swamped  in  a  deep  mud  hole  opposite  the  cor- 
ner of  North  St.  and,  with  his  pony,  extricated 
with  difficulty.  To  the  west  of  Light  St.  on  the 
heights  overlooking  the  basin,  were  here  and 
there  wooden  houses  and  at  the  lower  part  of 
Charles  St.  a  row  of  one-story  hipped-roof 
houses  which  were  built  by  the  French  refugees 
from  No?a  Scotia  in  1756  and  were  long  known 
as  French  town.  Congress  Hall  (so  called  be- 
cause Congress  met  there  during  the  Revolution)

occupied  the  south  side  of  Marliet  St.  extending 
from  Sharp  to    Liberty   St.    Thence,  westwardly 
and  northwardly,  on  the  rising  ground  occupied 
by  Howard,  Eutaw  and  Paca  sts.,  there   was  a 
forest   of  trees    and    back   of  this  a  race  course. 
He  remembered  but  one  briclv  house  on  Howard 
St.     A   little    to    the    west  of  Greene  st.,  was  a 
beautiful  residence,  called  "Chatsworth,"  which 
in    1790    was    purchasable  tor  about   $13.33  per 
acre.     North-west   of  this    was   the    old    Alms- 
house,   back    of  which   he    saw    a   review  of  the 
French    Army    when    on    its   way  to  Yorktown. 
The  first  St.  Paul's  church  was  of  wood,  later  a 
second    one    of  brick    was    built    on  part  of  the 
church   yard   back   of  the  houses  facing  on  Lex- 
ington St.,  on  which  was  its  entrance.     The  old 
church  was  then  used  as  a  school  hoase  but  after- 
wards pulled  down  to  make  way  for  the  present 
structure.     The  heights  to  the  north  of  old  St. 
Paul's  and   the   R.  C.  Chapel  were  covered  with 
trees    forming   part    of  the   park    of  Col.    John 
Eager  Howarl's  estate,  "Belvedere."     On   their 
summit  the  citizens  used  to  assemble  for  parade 
whenever   an   alarm  of  the  approach  of  British 
barges  in   the  river  was  given.     The  Park  was 
the  favorite  resort  of  the  young  people  and  the 
scene  of  several  duels.     Mr.    David   Sterett  was 
shot  there  in  one  of  these  (1791),  at  about  the 
corner  of  Charles  and  Madison.     The  first  thea- 
tre built  here  was  on  East  Baltimore  St.  nearly 
opposite  the  second  Presbyterian  church.     It  was 
of  brick  and  Mr.  Gilmor  attended  a  play  there 
in  1780.  This  was  succeeded  by  one  between  the 
Town  and  Point,  near  Trinity  Lutheran  Church, 
and    that    by  the  first  Holiday  St.  Theatre,    a 
wooden  structure.

DEPARTMENT  OF  MEDICINE. 

We  learn  that  Col.  L.  Mervin  Maus,  '7i,  of 
the  Medical  Department  of  the  U.  8.  A.,  is  a 
candidate  for  Surgeon-General  on  the  retirement 
of  the  present  incumbent. 

Drs.  Robt..  P.  Bay  and  E.  H.  Kloman,  of 
University  Hospital,  attended  tlie  Congress  of 
Clinical  Surgeons  which  met  in  New  York  City 
recently. 

'The  Balto.  &  Ohio  R.  R.  Co.  is  about  to  con- 
struct an  emergency  ward  at  University  Hospital 
for  its  employes.  It  will  be  thoroughly  equip- 
ed  and  will  have  its  own  staff  of  surgeons, 
nurses,  etc.,  uniler  Dr.  Page  Edmonds,  who  ia  a 
B.  &  O.  Surgeon,  and  Associate  Professor  in  the 
Medical  Faculty. 

On  Oct.  BO,  Walter  A.  Vinson,  Thomas  R. 
Pratt,  Robert  B.  H.  and  Roland  B.  Clinton, 
students  of  this  department  from  North  Caro- 
lina, petitioned  to  be  allowed  to  cast  their  votes 
at  the  election  of  President  of  the  U.  S.  The 
J  idge  refused,  in  view  of  a  decision  of  the  Court 
of  Appeals,  to  the  effect  that  mere  residence  at 
a  college  for  the  purpose  of  pursuing  studies  is 
not  sufficient  to  prove  abandonment  of  original 
residence. 

As  Prof.  Neale's  young  son  was  recently  re- 
turning home  from  school,  he  was  attacked  bj'  a 
negro,  at  Charles  and  Eager  Sts.,  who  upset  his 
wheel,  throwing  him  to  the  grouni  and  then  at- 
tempted to  get  off  with  the  bicycle.  Assistance 
came  and  the  negro  escaped.  The  boj-  was  badly 
bruised.

will  be  given  in  Auatomical  Fall,  on  Tuesdays

A  committee  on  class  pins  was  appointed  con- 
sisting of  A.  A.  Sonnenburg,  D.  Glover,  H.  E. 
Cline.  It  will  take  steps  to  secure  various  de- 
signs and  estimates  on  same. 

On  Nov.  1st,  the  Faculty  held  its  annual  dance 
and  reception  at  Heptasophs'  Hall.  The  object 
was  to  bring  the  juniors  and  seniors  together  so 
that  they  might  become  better  acquainted. 
Everyone  must  have  enjoyed  liimselE  judging 
by  the  great  amount  of  enthusiasm  shown  in 
dancing  and  the  happy  faces  of  those  looking 
on.  Dr.  Caspari  opened  the  exercises  bj^  giving 
all  a  hearty  welcome  and  turned  the  affair  over 
to  Drs.  Dunning  and  Kelly,  who  were  on  the 
entertainment  committee.  After  a  short  address 
by  Dr.  Dunning,  the  dancing  started  and  con- 
tinued until  shortly  after  eleven  o'clock,  when 
the  procession  marched  to  the  basement  where 
refreshments  were  served,  after  which  the  stu- 
dents gave  many  college  yells,  sang  college  songs 
and  resumed  dancing. 

Mr.  Armstrong,  president  of  the  junior  class, 
made  a  speech  in  behalf  of  his  class  as  did  also 
Mr.  Watkins  as  president  of  the  seniors.  The 
members  of  the  two  classes  must  have  enjoyed 
themselves  immensely  considering  the  time  some 
of  them  arrived  home.  Much  appreciation  is 
due  to  the  Faculty  on  behalf  of  the  students  for 
extending  such  an  enjoyable  occasion  and  I  feel 
sure  the  students  could  hardly  express  their 
thanks  for  such  a  happy  occasion.

SPEECH  DELIVERED  BY  THE  REV.  HER- 
BERT  PARRISH,  M.  A.,  RECTOR  OF 
ST.  LUKE'S  CHURCH,  AT  THE  AN- 
NUAL BANQUET  GIVEN  BY  THE 
ALUMNI  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF 
MARYLAND,  NOV.  12,  mi,  AT  THE 
RENNERT. 

Mr.  President  and  Gentlemen :  I  deeply  ap- 
preciate the  honor  you  have  done  me  in  inviting 
me  to  your  banquet  and  the  distinction  }-ou  have 
conferred  upon  me  by  asking  me  to  address  you 
this  evening.  I  am  the  more  impressed  with  the 
greatness  of  your  L'niversity  when  I  remember 
that  you  are  not  only  one  institution,  but  five. 
You  have  a  department  of  Arts  in  Annapolis,  and 
in  Baltimore  \-ou  have  departments  of  Pharmacy, 
Dentistr}-,  Medicine  and  Law.  You  pretty  well 
cover  the  field  of  learning.  I  have  been  thinking 
what  you  lacked,  and  for  the  life  of  me,  I  can 
imagine  only  two  things  you  need  to  make  }Our 
great  L'niversity  a  rounded  whole.  There  arc 
two  departments  of  professional  life  for  which 
you  offer  at  present  no  preparation.  These  are 
the  departm.ents  of  Veterinary  Surgery  and  The- 
ology. To  some  these  two  vocations  may  seem 
somewhat  far  apart.  I  suppose  that  they  would, 
however,  came  under  the  Medical  Faculty,  since 
it  is  natural  that  they  would  produce  Doctors. 
There  are  three  kinds  of  Doctors :  Horse  Doctors. 
Human  Doctors  and  Doctors  of  Divinity. 

Gentlemen  I  would  not  urge  the  establishment 
of  a  department  of  Veterinary  Surgery.  There 
are  two  reasons  against  this  step.  The  horse  is 
certainly  doomed.  He  will  presently  disappear 
before  the  rushing  advance  of  the  automD!;i;j. 
Moreover  the  treatment  of  diseased  horses  i:- 
precarious.  I  understand  that  you  nnist  put  tlie 
very  bitter  medicine  in  a  tube,  one  end  of  which 
you  insert  in  the  mouth  of  the  horse  and  the  other 


end  of  which  you  yourself  must  blow  through. 
A  traged\-  ensues  when  the  horse  blows  first. 

But  it  would  not  be  at  all  a  bad  idea  to  add 
to  the  Medical  Department  a  course  in  The- 
ology. The  Doctor  of  Divinity  is  often  needed 
to  complete  the  work  which  the  physician  begins. 
Personally  I  should  feel  proud  to  be  associated 
with  the  Medical  Faculty.  I  ha\'e  the  greatest 
respect  for  physicians.  To  them  go  the  big  fees 
and  the  automobiles.  Whenever  a  Doctor  has 
cut  out  any  portion  of  m}'  anatomy,  a  lung,  or 
an  appendix,  I  have  been  struck  by  his  skill. 
Also  I  am  very  grateful  to  them  for  an}'  little 
memento  they  may  like  to  leave  behind  in  the  way 
of  a  piece  of  antiseptic  gauze,  a  roll  of  absorbent 
cotton,  a  surgeon's  knife  or  some  similar  article, 
overlooked  and  sewed  up  in  the  incision.  It  is  a 
mistake  to  think  that  Doctors  never  leave  their 
patients  anything.  They  are  in  reality  most  kind. 
I  have  known  a  Doctor  who  would  \\allingl)- 
operate  on  a  man  even  when  he  had  no  ready 
money — provided,  of  course,  that  he  was  insured. 

It  is  a  truth  that  must  be  admitted  that  the 
ministry  is  not  what  it  once  was.  It  has  fallen 
from  the  high  estate  that  it  had  during  the  mid- 
dle ages.  In  the  good  old  da}-s  we  were  pretty 
much  the  whole  thing.  We  were  the  teachers,  the 
doctors,  the  lawyers.  But  in  recent  times  the 
different  faculties  have  taken  away  from  us  our 
various  monopolies  until  now  we  seem  to  have 
very  little  left.  The  theologians  formerly  directed 
the  legislation  of  nations  and  the  policies  of 
Idngs.  They  founded  the  universities  and  bossed 
the  people.  But  now  the  lawyers  have  taken  away 
most  of  our  business  together  with  the  fees.  The 
learned  legal  lights  have  beaten  us  out  in  the  del- 
icate work  of  making-  and  breaking  wills.  The 
college  professor  does  our  work  of  teaching  the 
vcung  idea  how  to  shoot.  Even  the  pharmacists 
iiave  taken  over  what  was  once  the  peculiar  priv-

ile.p^e  of  the  Mediaeval  clergy — the  gentle  art  of 
poisoning.  Thus  the  minist-y  is  no  longer  what 
it  once  was.  Nevertheless  it  is  still  a  very  re- 
spectable business.  Notice  how  anxious  churches 
are  to  keep  their  pastors  when  their  pastors  are 
called  to  some  other  field  of  labor.  The  church 
will  do  anything  for  them  up  to  the  point  of  rais- 
ing their  salary. 

The  one  great  field  of  endeavor  which  the  min- 
istry still  holds — if,  indeed,  Dr.  Kelly  and  Mr. 
Anderson  have  not  already  encroached  upon  it 
— is  in  preaching.  We  may  not  succeed  in  being- 
as  entertaining  as  the  dentist  can  be  while  he  is' 
engaged  in  extracting  your  teeth.  But  it  is  our 
business  to  talk.  And  we  talk  to  some  purpose. 
At  the  present  time  the  conception  of  public 
service  is  a  growing  one.  The  ancient  terror 
of  the  policerfian,  that  remnant  of  the  idea  of  the 
divine  right  of  kings,  is  giving  way  to  the  better 
notion  that  public  officials  are  expected  to  earn 
their  salaries,  not  by  bossing,  but  by  serving  the 
people.  A  boy  was  aTCsted  the  other  day  in 
Baltimore  for  kicking  the  shins  of  a  postman. 
It  's  a  good  indication.  The  people  are  beginning 
to  learn  their  rights.  The  postman  ought  to  have 
his  shins  kicked  especially  when  he  does  not  de- 
liver your  mail  on  time.  We  are  beginning  to 
understand  that  the  policeman  and  the  President 
exist  for  the  people  and  that  the  people  do  not 
exist  for  the  officials.  This  work  has  been  ac- 
complished by  the  university  man  in  public  life 
under  the  inspiration  of  the  idea  of  service 
preached  by  the  Christian  ministry.  The  old  day 
of  self-made  statesmen  who  learned  their  busi- 
ness by  the  light  of  a  pine  knot  has  passed  away. 
The  day  also  of  the  ward-heeler,  the  bone-head, 
the  low-brow,  is  passing.  The  university  man 
with  his  trained  mind,  his  broader  vision,  hi= 
If  tier  ideal,  has  broken  into  politics.  He  has  even 
brcken  into  the  White  Blouse.  Professional 
men  are  coming  to  see  that  they  have  a  vocation 
over  and  above  their  profession.  The  call  to  the 
service  of  the  nation  has  gone  forth  and  has 
been  answered. 

If  the  dead  hand  of  Mediaeval  theologies  no 
longer  holds  sway  over  the  world  of  men,  it  does

not  follow  that  there  is  no  longer  any  relationship 
possible  between  the  work  of  a  university  and 
the  work  of  the  church.  It  is  to  be  regretted 
that  so  few  men  of  training  and  intelligence  avail 
themselves  of  the  privilege  of  getting  into  touch 
with  the  work  of  religion.  I  wish  that  we  could 
see  more  of  you.  For  the  church  after  all  has 
the  key  to  the  problem  of  public  life.  The  church 
alone  has  the  secret  for  the  inspiration  of  service. 
Mr.  Chamberlain,  in  his  great  book,  "The 
Foundation  of  the  Nineteenth  Century,"  says : 
'"No  battle,  no  change  of  dynasty,  no  natural 
phenomenon,  no  discovery  possesses  a  significance 
which  can  be  compared  with  that  of  the  short 
life  on  earth  of  the  Galilean.  His  birth 
is  in  a  sense  the  beginning  of  history.  The 
nations  not  Christian,  such  as  the  Chinese, 
the  Turks,  and  others  have  no  history ;  their 
story  is  but  the  chronicle  on  the  one  hand  of 
ruling  houses,  butcheries  and  the  like,  and  on 
the  other  represents  the  dull,  humble,  almost 
bestially  happy  life  of  millions  that  sink  in  the 
night  of  time  without  leaving  a  trace."

ADDRESS   AT   THE   DINNER    OF  'THE 
GENERAL  ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION  OF 
THE  UNIVERSITY    OF    MARYLAND, 
HOTEL  RENNERT,  NOV.  J2,  I9I2,  BY 
HIRAM  WOODS,  M.  D. 
Mr.  President,  Fellow  Alumni  and  Gentlemen : 
I  have  been  asked  to  speak  of  the  needs  of 
the  Medical  Department  of  the  University  from 
the  viewpoint  of  a  member  of  the  Adjunct  Fac- 
ulty.    It  will  be  well,  probably,  to  give  the  dis- 
tinction between  the   Faculty  proper,   or   Board 
of  Regents  in  the  Medical  Department  and  the 
Adjunct  Faculty.     I  am  not  aware  of  the  exact 
wording   of   this    distinction   in   the    Minutes   of 
the  Regents  but  practically  it  is  this :     The  Re- 
gents of  the  Medical  Department  are  all  teach- 
ers in  the  University.     There  are  eight  Regents, 
and  they  occupy  the  Chairs  of  Chemistry,  Medi- 
cine,   Surgery,    Obstetrics,    Gynaecology,    Anat- 
omy, Physiology  and  iMateria  Medica  and  Thera- 
peutics.    The  Regents  attend  to  the  business  of 
the  University,  assume  financial  obligations,  reg- 
ulate the  courses  in  all  departments,  their  own 
as  well  as  those  of  their  colleagues  in  the  Adjunct 
Faculty.     They  decide  on  graduation,  subject,  of 
c";:rse,  to  grades.     They  elect  successors  in  any

Chair  vacated  by  death  or  resignation,  have  the 
right  to  keep  this  Chair  in  the  Board  of  Regents 
or  place  it  in  the  Adjunct  Faculty,  choose  the 
entire  Adjunct  Faculty  from  year  to  year,  and 
finally,  may  declare,  and  to  the  opening  of  the 
present  year  always  have  declared,  dividends  for 
themselves.  The  members  of  the  Adjunct  Fac- 
ulty meet  the  Regents  on  appointment  by  the 
latter,  and  are  free  to  present  the  needs  of  their 
departments :  but  they  have  no  voice  in  deciding 
what  shall  be  done,  or  in  final  decision  on  gradua- 
tion. They  assume  no  financial  obligations,  and 
get  no  fees,  unless  they  hold  positions  which, 
by  their  nature,  are  non-clinical,  and  must  be 
salaried  if  good  men  are  to  be  secured.  Two 
or  three  of  the  Adjunct  chairs  were  endowed  with 
small,  almost  nominal,  salaries  some  years  ago, 
but  this  has  been  abolished.  The  functions  of  the 
Adjunct  members  are  to  teach,  and,  if  they  want, 
criticise  and  kick.  Before  the  formation  of  the 
Adjunct  Faculty  all  heads  of  departments  were 
in  the  Faculty,  or  Board  of  Regents,  and  all 
shared  alike  on  the  basis  given,  as  to  power,  in- 
fluence and  participation  in  whatever  profits  were 
thought  available. 

I  do  not  know  that  official  reason  has  been 
promulgated  for  the  assignment  of  departments 
in  the  Regent  Board  and  Adjunct  Faculty,  or 
that  the  basis  of  selection  is  definitely  understood. 
There  are  nineteen  heads  of  departments  in  the 
medical  course.     In  addition  to  the  eight  in  the

Dear  Doctor;  — 

Certain  ^ew  York  physicians  and  pharmacists  have 
appointed  a  joint  committee  which  is  to  thoroughly-  in- 
vestigate New  York  phaimacies  and  certify  to  the  worth 
of  those  that  meet  reasonable  modern  requirements  in 
stock,    in  equipment  and  in  practice. 

We  believe  our  greatly  enlarged  facilities  and  up-to- 
date  equipment  would  amply  entitle  us  to  such  ceitilica- 
tiou.  The  character  of  work  we  have  been  doing  for  more 
than  <m;/i?.y  yea?'s  nas,  we  hope,  thoroughly  and  (irmly 
established  us  in  your  esteem  and  favorably  testifies  as

the  men  holding  Professorships  are  in  the  Ad- 
junct Faculty,  and  can  act  only  in  an  advisory 
capacity  in  regulating  their  own  departments,  de- 
termining the  value  of  their  own  courses  in  mak- 
ing up  final  grades ;  and  these  facts  are  known 
to  the  student  body. 

If  one  looks  foe  an  underl}-ing  and  adequate 
basis  of  selection,  he  may  be  told  that  this  basis 
is  placing  the  fimdamental  branches  in  theRegent 
Board.  Yet,  it  is  somewhat  difficult  to  justify 
the  existing  selection  on  this  basis.  Students 
come  to  the  University  to  learn  how  to  practice 
medicine.  In  the  present  state  of  Medical 
thought,  is  Chemistry  more  "fundamental"  than 
Patholog}'?  Specialism  has  made  great  strides 
of  late  years,  and  has  developed  lines  of  thought 
which  every  capable  general  practitioner  must 
appreciate.  In  this  connection,  is  Gynaecolog}^  a 
whit  more  important  than  Neurology,  or  (con- 
sidering the  early  manifestations  of  ocular  symp- 
toms of  central  and  organic  disease)  Ophthal- 
mology' ?  I  use  these  as  illustrations  of  the  in- 
adequacy of  this  hypothetical  explanation.  I  do 
not  mean  that  these  departments  should  be  in  a 
Board  of  Regents  more  than  those  now  there; 
but  I  do  mean  that  there  is  no  scientific  reason 
for  the  division  as  it  now  exists. 

There  are  some  influences  growing  out  of  this 
artificial  distinction  worthy  of  notice,  i.  Its  ef- 
fect on  the  student  mind.  The  object  of  medical 
instruction  is,  or  ought  to  be,  less  the  cramming 
of  isolated  facts,  given  as  courses  in  the  curric- 
ulum, than  development  of  a  student's  thinking 
power :  training  him  to  correllate  what  he  gets 
in  one  course  with  what  is  given  in  another.  He 
cannot  get,  for  instance,  an  adequate  idea  of  the 
ravages  of  lues,  if  he  thinks  of  it  essentially  as- 
a  venereal  disease.  Unless  his  mind  is  trained  to 
carrv  what  he  gets  on  this  subject  in  the  Surgi- 
cal, Genito-Urinary  and  INIedical  courses  into 
Neurology  and  Ophthalmology,  and  unless  he 
has  it  ground  into  his  thinking  apparatus  that 
these  two  departments  can  give  him  invaluable 
diagnostic  data,  he  falls  short  of  the  chief  pur-

pcse  of  medical  instruction — ability  to  give  a 
case  clinical  study  from  all  possible  standpoints. 
He  should  regard  all  sources  of  information  as 
equally  valuable,  or  at  least  he  must  not  be 
trained  to  undervalue  some  of  the  most  impor- 
tant and  helpful.  And  yet,  to  my  mind,  and  as 
the  result  of  «iore  intimate  talks  with  students 
tlian  my  friends  in  the  Board  often  get — (be- 
cause I  am  NOT  a  Regent) — there  is  just  this 
training.  Most  of  the  branches  taught  by  the 
Regents  count  more  in  graduation  than  those 
taught  by  the  Adjuncts.  The  decision  on  grad- 
uation rests  solely  with  the  former.  What  can 
be  more  natural  than  for  the  youngster  to  con- 
clude that  his  time  will  be  best  and  most  profit- 
ably spent  on  these  branches  during  the  year, 
leaving  those  that  count  one-half  or  one-quarter 
arid  are  taught  by  the  Adjuncts,  for  cramming 
just  before  examination?  From  time  to  time  in 
the  meetings  of  the  two  instructing  bodies,  it  has 
been  found  that  men  who  had  good  grades  in 
the  Regent  branches  showed  almost  total  ignor- 
ance in  some  of  the  others.  Sometimes,  indeed, 
this  state  of, things  endangers  a  man's  gradua- 
tion, and  it  becomes  a  serious  question  whether 
or  not  a  man  should  graduate  who  has  high 
marks  in  what  are  called  the  "main"  departments 
and  has  fallen  low  in  the  mind-to-mind,  personal 
branches,  where  the  instructor  comes  in  intimate 
contact  with  his  pupil ;  for  this  intimate  contact 
is  necessary  in  their  work.  The  fault  lies  not 
with  the  student  so  much  as  with  a  purely  arti- 
ficial divisicii  and  its  logical  effect  on  the  stu- 
dent's estimate  of  importance.  I  lay  stress  on 
this  influence  because  in  the  University  Hospital 
work  there  has  been  evidence  during  the  past 
two  or  three  years  of  some  awakening  in  the 
student  body.  This  is,  I  think,  largely  due  to 
Ihe  influence  of  Dr.  Shipley,  one  of  the  Regents, 
and  for  a  long  time  quiz  master.  "Lame  ducks" 
are  new  weeded  out  at  the  end  of  the  second 
year.  Lectures  and  instruction  do  not  have  to  be 
scaled  down  to  an  average  student  intelligence. 
When  students  can  be  brought  to  think  about  the 
lielp  they  can  get  from  correllation  of  depart- 
ments, and  not  isolation,  their  interest  is  quick-

ened,  and  they  enter  a  new  field  of  thought,  but 
it  requires  everlasting  dunning  to  keep  them  from 
considering  what  may  be  termed  "relative  im- 
portance from  the  diploma  point  of  view."  An- 
other phase  of  this  matter  is  the  influence  on  our 
Alumni.  The  University  has  no  apology  to  offer 
for  the  class  of  Doctors  it  gives  the  country. 
Of  course  there  are  some  poor  men ;  so  are 
there  in  the  Alumni  body  of  every  medical 
school.  But  taken  as  a  class,  our  gradu- 
ates of  ten  years  and  more  standing,  hold 
influential  positions  in  their  communities,  and 
high  rank  in  their  profession.  Is  their 
influence  used  in  the  interests  of  their  Alma  Ma- 
ter? Are  the}'  satisfied  with  her  progress  in  keep- 
ing abreast  with  modern  medical  instruction  ? 
Are  they  content  with  her  business  management, 
and  disposed  to  contribute  to  her  endowment 
fund  ?  Dr.  Cordell  has  for  'years  been  working 
in  and  out  of  season  for  this  fund.  It  would  be 
interesting  to  learn  some  of  the  replies  he  has 
received.  But  I  personally  know  of  several  men, 
well  disposed  toward  the  L^niversit}-,  believing 
that  a  prosperous  future  can  be  made  for  her, 
who  have  refused  to  subscribe  because  the  whole 
business  of  the  Institution  is  in  the  hands  of  a 
small  group  of  men  connected  with  the  teaching- 
staff.  I  know,  too,  that  this  fact  has  been  the 
ijasis  of  some  unjust  and  untrue  deductions  about 
the  Uiniversity  being  a  "Stock  Company,"  with 
most  of  the  stock  held  by  some  of  the  Regents. 
Of  course  there  is  no  such  company,  and  never 
has  been ;  yet  such  is  the  impression  not  alone 
with  some  of  our  older  Alumni,  but  with  men 
who  were  students  but  two  or  three  years  ago. 
My  coupling  this  false  statement  with  the  exist- 
ence of  a  small  governing  body  from  the  medical 
mstructors  is  but  an  hypothetical  explanation  of 
the  untrue  statement.  I  am  giving  it  onlv  as  it 
has  come  to  me. 

I  know  I  have  considered  the  needs  of  the  L"ni- 
versity  from  but  one  view-point.  If  I  went  into 
detail  there  would,  or  could  be  a  large  number 
of  interesting  issues ;  but  it  has  been  my  aim  to 
reach  the  basic  need — a  change  in  the  method  of 
government.  Other  desirable  changes  will  cCme 
Avith  that. 

What  can  be  offered  in  the  way  of  positive 
suggestion  over  and  above  criticism — which  I 
•vant  to  assure  you,  gentlemen,  is  not  offered  in  a

fault-finding-  spirit,  but  is  the  result  of  observa- 
tion? Medical  education  today  demands  labora- 
tories, equipment  for  pathological  work,  demon- 
strators, instructors,  full-paid  men  in  at  least 
the  non-clinical  chairs,  clinical  teaching  to  groups 
of  students  rather  than  to  an  entire  class,  post- 
graduate courses  which  will  attract  A_lumni  and 
others.  These  are  but  some  of  the  demands  of 
medical  thought  of  toda}-.  I  believe  that  it  is 
absolutely  impossible  for  a  Board  of  Reg-ents, 
selected  from  the  teaching  staff,  to  successfully 
conduct  a  University  with  all  these  demands, 
even  if  the  members  of  that  Board  give  up,  as 
our  Board  has,  all  claim  to  fees.  It  is  impossible, 
if  for  no  other  reason,  because  there  won't  be 
money  enough.  In  what  spirit  must  reform  be 
undertaken  ? 

Existing  conditions  in  Baltimore  and  througii 
the  country  must  be  considered.  So  must  the 
standards  set  for  medical  schools  of  high  type. 
These  standards  are  not  the  arbitrary  rulings  of 
a  few  men  calling-  themselves  the  Association 
of  American  Medical  Colleges.  The  standards 
set  by  National  bodies  but  reflect  public  opinion. 
And  it  is  not  .going  to  recede.  Outside  of  the  one 
larg-ely  endo-wed  school  in  this  city,  there  are 
three  unendowed  schools  whose  Faculties  con- 
tain able  men,  all  with  more  or  less  influential 
connections  and  creditable  records.  All  have 
good  hospital  facilities.  In  each  some  depart- 
ments are  better  than  corresponding  departments 
in  other  schools.  For  years  the  "Merger"  idea 
has. been  discussed.  Of  course  there  are  difficul- 
ties in  the  way  ;  of  course  oersonal  must  be  sacri- 
ficed to  institutional  interests.  But  all  three  of 
these  schools  are  having  more  or  less  difficulty 
in  financing  their  own  existence.  I  believe  that 
this  merger  ought  -to  go  through,  and  that  the 
best  interests  of  our  own  University,  of  the 
other  schools,  and  of  Medicine  will  be  promoted 
thereby.  In  talking  over  this  matter  with  friends 
in  the  other  schools,  I  have  heard  no  other  name 
proposed  for  the  new  combined  school  than  "The 
University  of  Maryland."     The  governing  body

of  this  school  should  be  separated  from  its  teach- 
ing staff.  The  remodeled  University  should  have 
a  President  who  could  devote  his  whole  time 
to  the  University's  work.  There  should  be,  as 
an  integral  part  of  the  Institution,  an  Under- 
graduate department,  whose  courses  should  in- 
clude instruction  in  the  branches  needed  for 
medical  study.  A  closer  and  more  organic  union 
with  St.  John's  College  would  furnish  this.  With 
the  University  thus  possessing  the  best  teach- 
ing talent  from  all  the  schools,  with  freedom 
from  alleged  rivalry  (among  the  schools),  with 
withdrawal  of  opportunity  for  badly  prepared 
men  to  play  off  one  school  against  another,  with 
a  governing  body  entirely  freed  from  even  sus- 
picion of  selfishness,  it  would  be  possible  for 
the  University  to  go  to  the  Legislature  and  so- 
licit adequate  support  to  make  the  University  of 
Maryland  to  her  State  what  the  Universities  of 
North  Carolina  and  Wisconsin  are  to  theirs.  And 
I  believe  the  support  would  be  forthcoming. 
This,  Mr.  President,  is,  in  my  judg-ment,  the 
proper  line  of  procedure.

HISTORICAL  NOTES. 

The  discussion  of  the  "Introduction  of  Inocu- 
lation," at  the  Oct.  meeting  of  the  Johns  Hop- 
kins Hospital  Club  (see  Oct.  Old  Maryland), 
recalls  the  valuable  researches  of  the  late  Dr. 
John  R.  Quinan,  published  in  the  Md.  Med. 
Journal  of  June  '2'.j  and  80,  ISS:]. 

There  was  no  opposition  to  it  in  Maryland 
as  there  was  in  the  other  provinces  and  hence 
it  is  difficult  to  ascertain  the  exact  date  of  its 
introduction  here.  Dr.  James  Smith,  of  Balti- 
more, in  a  letter  written  in  January,  1818,  says 
it  had  been  practiced  in  the  state  "for  nearly 
1(10  years,"  which  fixes  it  at  a  date  soon  after 
it  was  made  knoy,'n  in  England,  which  was  in 
1717. 

It  is  by  no  means  to  be  assumed  that  the 
knowledge  of  it  was  derived  from  Boylston's  ex- 
jjeriments  with  it  in  Massachusetts,  in  1721,  and 
that  it  was  therefore  introduced  subsequent  to 
that  date.  For  many  of  the  early  Maryland 
physicians  were  either  niembers  of  the  Roval  So- 
ciety of  London,  or  in  frecjuent  correspondence 
with  its  members,  and  were  in  consec[uence  as 
well  informed  regarding-  the  papers  of  Drs. 
Timonius  and  Pylarinus,  published  in  the  trans-

actions  of  that  Society,  as  was  the  Rev.  Cotton 
Mather  himself  and  "the  medical  profession  of 
Maryland  never  lacked  the  boldness  or  intel- 
ligence to  introduce  a  practice  that  promised 
mitigation  of  a  pest  so  common  as  smallpox  was 
in  this  province." 

Further  evidence  of  the  earl}-  introduction  of 
moculation  in  the  state  is  afforded  by  the  "Dis- 
course on  the  Preparation  of  the  Body  for  Small- 
pox," published  by  Dr.  Adam  Thomson,  of  Mary- 
land, in  Phila.,  in  1750.  This  paper  underwent 
three  editions,  1750,  1752  and  1757,  the  second 
of  them  in  England.  In  it  Dr.  Thomson  speaks 
of  having  inoculated  prior  to  1738,  the  year  in 
which  he  introduced  his  special  method. 

This  method,  known  as  "The  American 
Method,"  was  favorably  received  in  England, 
being  approved  by  Huxham,  Woodward  and  oth- 
ers, and  was  universally  adopted  in  the  col- 
onies. It  was  introduced  into  the  Massachu- 
setts Inoculation  Hospital,  by  Dr.  Wm.  Barnett, 
of  New  Jersey,  the  first  superintendent  (1764), 
and  it  gave  Dr.  T.  such  celebrity  that  he  was 
called  to  all  parts  of  the  country  wherever  se- 
vere epidemics  prevailed.  Thomson  was  a  na- 
tive of  Scotland  and  was  trained  under  Monro 
Primus  at  the  University  of  Edinburgh.  He 
settled  in  Prince  George  Co.,  Md.,  early  in  the 
18th  century.  His  "method"  consisted  of  a  two- 
weeks  preliminary  course,  including  the  admin- 
istration of  mercury  and  antimony  as  "an  anti- 
dote to  the  variolous  contagion."  He  believed 
mercury  to  be  more  of  a  specific  against  the 
variolous  than  the  venereal  poison,  and  never  saw 
anyone  so  prepared  in  any  danger  while  affected 
with  the  disease.  Dr.  Thomson  died  in  New 
York  City  Sept.  18,  1767. 

Among  other  eminent  Maryland  inoculators 
were  Dr.  Richard  Brooke,  of  Prince  George  Co., 
Dr.  Gustavus  R.  Brown,  of  Charles  Co.,  Dr. 
Samuel  Thompson,  of  Queen  Anne  Co.,  and 
especially  Dr.  Henry  Stevenson,  of  Baltimore, 
who  converted  his  house,  "Parnassus,"  into  an 
inoculating  hospital  in  1765  and  continued  it 
for  that  use  from  1765  to  1776  and  from  1786 
tmtil  the  method  was  replaced  by  vaccination.

Many  of  the  early  medical  graduates  of  the 
University,  in  their  inaugural  theses,  sign  them- 
selves as  members  of  the  Baltimore  iMedical 
Society.  This  was  a  students'  society  and  was 
founded  in  Jan.,  1812  ("A.  D.  mdcccxii  Insti- 
tuta").  The  certificate  of  membership  was  in 
Latin.  One  of  these  certificates,  that  of  Dr. 
Corbin  Amos,  '12,  hangs  in  the  Dean's  ofiEte. 
It  is  signed  by  Joannes  D.  Sinnott,  A.  M.,  M. 
D.,  Praescs,  G.  Marsh,  M.  D.,  Vice-Praeses, 
James  Condon,  M.  D.,  Scribe,  Martin  Fenwick, 
M.  D.,  and  Daniel  M.  Moore,  M.  D.  All  these 
are  graduates  of  the  class  of  1813.  The  certifi- 
cate is  very  handsomely  gotten  up. 

Of  the  same  society  is  the  diplofna  of  hon- 
orary membership  of  Dr.  William  Donaldson, 
which  is  signed  by  Nath.  Potter,  Praescs;  A. 
Clendinen,  J^icc-Praeses ;  Ezra  Gillingham, 
Scriba;  J.  Hopkins,  Cliit.  Of  these,  it  is  only 
necessary  to  sav  to  strangers  that  Dr.  Potter 
v/as  the  first  professor  of  practice,  1807-4:3.  Drs. 
Alex.  Clendinen  and  Joel  Hopkins  graduated 
1815,  Dr.  Ezra  Gillingham,  1816.  Dr.  William 
Donaldson  was  a  charter  member  of  the  Faculty 
of  the  college,  1807,  but  on  account  of  ill-health 
never  lectured.  He  received  the  honorary  de- 
gree of  M.  D.  from  the  University  in  1818. 

There  was  another  society  of  the  same  name — 
"Societas  Medica  Baliiinoricnsis"  —  founded 
seme  years  later,"  Anno  Domini  mdccc.kviii 
Constituta,"  as  shown  again  by  an  honorary 
diploma  of  Dr.  Donaldson.  The  diploma  is  more 
imposing  than  the  first  one,  bearing  a  cut  of 
the  university,  adorned  with  curious  side  build- 
ings. The  text  differs  also.  It  was  issued  in 
July,  1831,  and  bears  these  names :  Samuel 
Baker,  M.  D.,  Praeses;  Gul.  N.  Baker,  Vic- 
Pracses;  Alex.  H.  Tyson,  Thes.;  Johannes 
W.  Greetham,  Scriba.  The  seal  in  wax  is 
attached  by  blue  ribbon,  and  contains  the 
monogram,  surrounded  by  a  wreath.  Dr.  Sam- 
uel Baker  was  professor  of  Mat.  Med.  and  Ther- 
apeutics, 1800-33.  William  N.  Baker  was  a  son 
of  Samuel  and  took  his  degree  in  1832.  John 
W.  Greetham  graduated  in  1833,  and  Alex.  H. 
Tyson,  in  1834.  This  latter  diploma  was  on  ex- 
liibition  at  the  Centennial  of  the  Med.  and 
Chir.  Faculty,  in  ISOO.

kins Medical  School,  being  hosts.  Delegates 
from  31  m.edical  universities  in  the  United 
States  and  Canada  were  present.  The  conven- 
tion opened  with  a  business  session,  Friday 
morning,  followed  in  the  afternoon  by  a  surgical 
and  pediatric  clinic  at  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital, 
after  which  the  entire  delegation  was  escorted 
over  the  Hopkins  institution.  On  Friday  night 
there  was  a  model  initiation  at  the  hotel,  five 
new  members  being  initiated  by  Beta  Alpha. 
This  was  followed  by  a  smoker,  which  was  at- 
tended by  over  100  members.  Saturday  morn- 
ing opened  with  clinics  at  the  University  Hos- 
pital. Dr.  R.  Tunstall  Taylor  conducted  a  clinic 
on  Orthopedics  and  exhibited  a  number  of  very 
interesting  cases  taken  from  the  Kernan  FIos- 
pital  for  Crippled  Children.  Dr.  Jose  L.  Hirsh 
gave  an  extremely  interesting  talk  on  the  means 
of  diagnosing  syphilis,  describing,  in  detail, 
the  "Luetiii  Reaction,"  the  latest  product  of 
those  who  are  experimenting  upon  the  recogni- 
tion of  syphilis  by  scientific  means.  Follow- 
ing Dr.  Hirsh  Dr.  Hiram  Woods  spoke  for  a 
few  minutes  on  the  conservation  of  the  visual 
field.  On  Saturday  night  the  convention  ended 
with  a  banquet  at  the  Belvedere  Hotel,  00  mem- 
bers attending.  The  following  officers  for  the 
general  council  were  elected :  President — Dr. 
Stiles,  Prof,  of  Anatomy  at  .Syracuse ;  Secre- 
tary-Treasurer— Dr.  E.  E.  Irons,  Associate  Prof, 
of  Medicine  at  Rush  Medical  College,  Chicago.

Members  of  the  General  Alumni  Association 
should  bear  in  mind  that  Old  M.\rvland  is 
only  sent  to  those  who  pay  their  annual  mem- 
bership dues  promptly.  Therefore  they  should 
send  the  dues  as  soon  as  they  receiz'e  the  bill 
from  the  T  reasurer,  who  is  Eugene  Hodson, 
Ph.G.,  of  Thomas  &  Thompson,  Balto.  and  Light 
Sts.  Don't  fail  to  notify  both  him  and  the 
Editor  of  the  journal  at  once  of  any  change 
of  address.  Alumni  are  also  requested  to  no- 
tify the  Editor  of  any  matters  of  interest  to 
the  alumni  body.

The  first  number  of  the  Johns  Hopkins  Alumni 
Magazine,  the  official  publication  of  the  Alumni 
Association  of  that  institution,  is  before  us.  It 
is  a  small  octavo  of  90  pages  and  is  handsomely 
gotten  up,  with  a  portrait  of  Dr.  Remsen  and 
a  plan  of  the  proposed  buildings  and  grounds 
at  Homewood.  It  opens  with  a  brief  editorial 
by    Professor    Kirby    F.    Smith   and   within    its 


The  Hospital  Bulletin,  in  its  November  issue 
publishes  a  letter  to  the  Board  of  Regents,  from 
Dr.  Thomas  E.  Satterthzvaite,  of  New  York,  who 
holds  the  several  degrees  of  "A.  B.  Yale,  M.  D. 
Columbia,  LL.D.  University  of  Maryland  and 
Sc.  D.  St.  John's,"  and  as  an  honorary  alum- 
nus of  this  institution  is  deeply  interested  in  its 
prosperity  and  advancement.  Dr.  S.  sees  what 
some,  strange  to  say,  do  not  appear  to  see,  the  . 
urgent  need  at  this  time  of  organized  coopera- 
tion and  closer  union  in  institutions  of  learning. 
The  universities  are  now  to  the  front,  dominat- 
ing the  field  of  education.  The  separate  schools 
should  realize  that  they  can  fulfill  their  destiny 
more  effectually  and  more  economically  when 
united.  Maryland,  Dr.  S.  points  out,  started 
with  this  idea,  but  failed  in  its  realization,  owing 
tc  the  impracticability  of  the  plan  by  which  it 
was  attempted  to  carry  it  out  and  he  cites  in 
proof  the  absurd  provisions  of  the  charter  of 
1813  with  regard  to  the  department  of  Theology. 
Dr.  S.  might  have  cited  many  other  things  in 
that  remarkable  document  no  less  absurd  and 
militating  against  success.  He  attributes  what 
success  we  have  attained  to  the  admirable  teach- 
ers we  have  had,  of  whom  he  cites  the  names  of 
Nathan  R.  Smith  and  Elisha  Bartlett  as  pre- 
eminent, and  the  pioneer  work  we  have  here 
accomplished.  The  lack  of  funds  and  apprecia- 
tion has  hindered  our  progress,  but  the  ques- 
tion of  the  hour,  he  thinks,  is  the  proper  filling 
of  the  vacancy  in  the  provostship.     In  this  con-

nection  he  favors  the  view  already  expressed  in 
the  coUimns  of  Old  Maryland  that  Dr.  Fell 
is  the  man  for  the  place,  one  who  to  other  quali- 
fications adds  those  of  attractive  personality,  ripe 
experience  and  close  touch  with  the  university 
idea,  with  the  educational  movements  of  the  day 
and  their  leadcs.  This  strong  and  forceful  let- 
ter especially  from  one  so  entirely  free  from 
prejudice  and  influence  of  any  sort,  and  v\'ho 
sincerely  desires  our  success,  should  make  a 
deep  impression  upon  our  authorities.

versity of  Berlin  and  Editor-in-Chief  of  the  In- 
ternational Archives  of  the  Pathology  of  Diges 
tion  and  Metabclism,  in  an  address  to  the  stu- 
dents on  Oct.  5  [Hasp.  Bull.),  after  expressing 
his  great  pleasure  in  being  the  guest  of  "such  an 
ancient  and  distinguished  university,"'  is  said 
to  have  continued  as  follows :  "For  wherever 
medicine  has  a  student  it  is  known  that  it 
was  James  Carroll  who  discovered  that  yellow 
lever  is  transmitted  b)^  the  bite  of  a  spe- 
cific mosquito,  and  so  heroically  submitted  him- 
self to  the  bite  of  an  infected  mosquito,  volun- 
tarily made  himself  the  object  of  experiment 
and  suffered  a  severe  attack  of  yellow  fever, 
from  which  he  later  on  died.  To  have  produced 
such  a  brilliant  discoverer  and  martyr  to  science 
is  an  achievement  of  which  any  university  can 
be  proud.  It  is  known  also  that  your  alumnus, 
Henry  C.  Carter,  led  up  to  this  great  discovery 
by  his  thorough  stud\-  of  the  extrinsic  period 
of  incubation  of  yellow  fever.  It  mav  be  said 
that  the  scientific  work  of  Carroll  and  Carter 
on  the  etiology  of  yellow  fever  made  possible 
the  construction  of  the  Panama  Canal.  And  I 
congratulate  the  Regents  of  this  University  on 
having  produced  such  an  alumnus  as  Gen.  Ru- 
pert L.  Blue,  who  stamped  out  the  bubonic  plague 
from  San  Francisco  and  now  holds  the  highest

Germany  is  due,  for  your  professor  of  physi-

research  work  in  Germany,  and  I  can  assure 
you  that  the  German  Physiologic  Society  is 
proud  of  his  membership  and  that  nothing  would 
gladden  the  hearts  of  the  German  confreres 
more  than  to  hear  that  the  Regents  had  more 
liberally  endowed  the  laboratory  of  physiology,

Dr.  Randolph  Winslovv  continues  his  "Sum- 
mer Cruise  on  the  Spanish  Main"  (Hasp.  Bid., 
Nov.)  with  a  description  of  the  Panama  Canal 
itself.  The  idea  of  uniting  the  Atlantic  and 
Pacific  dates  almost  from  the  discovery  of  the 
Isthmus.  It  was  first  undertaken  by  De  Les- 
seps  and  a  French  company  in  1881,  under  a 
franchise  granted  by  Colombia.  A  sea-level 
canal  was  first  projected,  but  was  found  im- 
practicable and  the  lock  form  was  substituted. 
After  a  great  expenditure  of  money  and  lives, 
the  work  was  discontinued  in  1889.  In  1894 
a  new  French  company  made  further  but  desul- 
tory attempts.  The  French  planned  a  canal  75 
ft.  wide  and  16  ft.  deep.  The  Spanish- Ameri- 
can War,  with  its  demonstration  of  the  neces- 
sity of  some  more  rapid  means  of  transferring 
warships  from  one  ocean  to  the  other,  was  the 
motive  for  the  completion  of  the  canal  by  the 
United  States. 

The  present  canal  will  be  50  miles  long  and 
no  portion  of  the  French  work  will  be  included 
in  it.  The  length  of  the  sea-level  part  on  the 
Atlantic  side  is  7  miles,  with  a  width  of  500  ft. 
and  depth  of  41  ft.  Then  comes  a  dam  1 Y2 
miles  long,  J^  mile  wide  at  the  base  and  115 
ft.  high,  forming  a  deep  lake  of  104  square 
miles,  fed  by  the  Chagres  River.  Ships  are 
here  raised  from  sea  level  85  feet  by  means  of 
three  huge  double-locks.  Besides  these  there 
are  two  other  similar  locks  at  the  Pacific  end, 
by  which  ships  are  lowered. 

The  lake  is  24  miles  long,  terminating  at  the 
great  Culebra  Cut,  which  extends  for  9  miles 
through  the  backbone  of  the  Isthmus.  The 
Pacific  sea-level  section  of  the  canal  extends 
S  miles  from  the  two  locks  above  mentioned  to 
deep  water  in  the  Bay — Balboa. 

The  first  ship  is  expected  to  pass  through 
the  canal  a  year  hence,  the  time  of  passage  occu- 


pying 8  or  10  hours.  The  saving  from  New 
York  to  San  Francisco,  over  the  Cape  Florn 
route,  will  be  9540  miles.  The  paper  is  illus- 
trated and  gives  a  highly  interesting  and 
graphic  description  of  this,  the  greatest  wonder 
of  modern  times. 


The  Bar  Association  of  Baltimore  met  in  an- 
nual session  at  the  Hotel  Rennert,  December  3. 
The  guest  of  honor  was  Judge  James  Alfred 
Pearce,  of  the  Court  of  Appeals,  who  will  retire 
shortly  after  a  15-year  term  on  the  bench.  The 
officers  elected  were :  President,  Moses  R.  Wal- 
ter; vice-president,  Charles  Morris  Howard,  '88, 
and  Eugene  O'Dunne,  1900 ;  secretary,  A.  de  R. 
Sappington,  81 ;  treasurer,  Eli  Frank,  '96 ;  mem- 
ber of  executive  committee,  former  Judge  Alfred 
S.  Niles,  '81 ;  members  of  committee  on  admin- 
sion,  John  M.  Requardt,  '97,  and  Clarence  K. 
Bowie,  '04.  Mr.  Wm.  L.  Marbury,  '82,  was 
toastmaster  and  among  the  speakers  was  B. 
Howell  Griswold,  Jr.,  '97.  The  feature  of  the 
evening  was  the  ovation  to  Judge  Pearce. 


In  the  death  of  Dr.  William  Hand  Brozvnc  on 
the  loth  inst.  Maryland  lost  one  of  her  foremost 
scholars.  A  native  of  Baltimore,  he  chose  medi- 
cine for  his  life-work  and  attended  lectures  in  this 
university,  receiving  the  degree  of  M.  D.  in 
1850.  Brt  he  never  practiced  and  his  tastes 
soon  led  him  into  the  more  congenial  fields  of 
literature.  He  became  an  authority  upon  Eng- 
lish Literature  and  held  the  chair  in  that  branch 
at  the  Johns  Hopkins  University  for  many  years. 
It  was,  however,  in  Maryland  history  that  he 
achieved  the  greatest  renown  and  his  edition 
of  the  Maryland  State  Archives  is  prized  as 
the  greatest  source  for  the  study  of  our  local 
history.  For  several  years  after  the  war  he 
edited  the  Southern  Magazine,  which  main- 
tained a  high  standing  among  such  publications. 
He  also  published  a  number  of  books — a  his- 
tory of  Maryland,  lives  of  the  Barons  of  Balti- 
more and  of  Alexander  H.  Stevens,  an  edition 
of  the  works  of  Severn  Teackle  Wallis,  selec- 
tions from  the  early  Scotch  poets,  etc.  Says 
the  Snn  in  a  lengthy  notice  of  him:  "He  was 
distinguished  by  devotion  to  work,  insatiable 
love  of  historical  and  literary  research,  by  quiet, 
unassuming   personality    and    by    genuine   mod-

and  he  had  reached  the  ripe  age  of  84  years.

At  a  late  meeting  of  the  Freshmen,  class  colors 
were  voted  on  and  it  was  decided  to  fly  navy 
blue  and  old  gold.  The  following  officers  were 
elected  in  addition  to  those  mentioned  in  our 
Nov.  issue :  Artist,  H.  W.  Paul ;  Historian,  H. 
L.  Richards. 

Dr.  John  J.  O'Neill,  '10,  of  Carbondale,  Pa., 
was  in  to  see  us  a  few  days  ago. 

There  are  two  graduates  of  this  department 
now  teachhig  dentistry  in  Japan,  viz:  Dr.  Tamiji 
Takashima,  '99,  who  is  at  the  Nippon  Dental 
College,  and  Dr.  Sadaoshi  Teraki,  "(t7,  who  is 
at  the  Tokio  Dental  College.  These  are  the  only 
two  dental  schools  in  the  Japanese  Empire  and 
their  standing  is  first  class. 

The  following  visited  college  lately:  Wm.  E. 
Van  Brunt,  '09,  Fla. ;  L.  J.  Spratt,  '01,  S.  C. ; 
John  J.  O'Neill,  '09,  Pa. ;  Chas.  W.  Link,  '9.5,  W. 
Va. ;  C.  W.  Merrill,  '12,  R.  I. ;  Chas.  R.  Rogers, 
'04,  R.  I. 

As  in  the  line  of  recent  improvements  are 
to  be  noted  the  tablet  arm  chairs  supplied  to  the 
dental  lecture  hall  and  the  new  Infirmary  lock- 
ers supplied  the  members  of  all  the  classes. 

THE   INSTALLATION  OF  THE  NEW  CHEMICAL 
LABORATORY. 

The  Dent?il  Department,  inaugurated  their 
Chemical  Laboratory  Course  this  fall  with  Dr. 
E.  F.  Kelly  in  charge,  and  it  is  proving  to  be  a 
valuable  addition  to  the  many  improvements  be- 
ing made  in  the  curriculum  and  equipment  of 
this  Department  of  the  University. 

Dr.  Kelly  is  a  graduate  of  the  Department  of 
Pharmacy,  Class  of  '02,  and  has  been  connected 
with  the  Faculty  of  that  department  since  1903. 
This  training  together  with  the  practical  experi- 
ence he  has  gained  in  his  business  connections, 
render  him  well  fitted  to  successfully  inaugurate 
this  course  and  to  give  the  dental  students  the 
desired  experience  in  practical  chemistry. 

The  large  and  well  lighted  room  which  was 
formerly  used  as  a  senior  laboratory,  has  been 
entirely  remodeled;  work  tables  planned  for  the 
purpose  have  been  installed  and  each  student  has 
ample  table  and  locker  space  for  carrying  out  the 
necessary  experiments  and  for  storing  the  full 
ec|uipment  of  materials  and  apparatus  with  which 
each  is  supplied.  Every  convenience  is  afforded 
for  the  demonstration  ofi  the  experiments  by  the 
teacher  and  for  the  repetition  of  them  by  the  stu-

dent.  The  laboratory  will  provide  accommoda- 
lions   for  about  seventy-five  students. 

This  laborator}'  fills  a  long-felt  want  in  the 
Dental  Department  and  will  serve  to  fully  round 
out  the  theoretical  and  practical  knowledge  of 
chemistry  which  the  dental  student  and  prac- 
titioner requires.  The  course  in  chemistry  now 
includes — for  the  Freshman  and  the  Junior 
classes — three  hours  per  week  of  lectures  bv  Dr. 
R.  Dorsey  Coale  and — for  the  Junior  Class — 
three  hours  per  week  laboratory  under  Dr.  Kelly, 
where  it  is  intended  to  supplement  the  theoreti- 
cal knowledge  gained  in  the  lectures  by  practi- 
cal experiments  along  the  lines  of  greatest  in- 
terest to  the  dentist. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Md.  Dental  Association, 
held  December  17,  the  following  U.  M.  men 
were  elected  to  office:  Geo.  T.  Feldmeyer,  '88, 
of  Annapolis,  president ;  Henry  A.  Wilson,  '92, 
of  Baltimore,  treasurer;  B.  Merrill  Hopkinson, 
of  Baltimore,  member  board  of  governors.  The 
Association  has  opened  at  its  own  expense  in  the 
Greene  Street  Public  School,  an  office,  where 
the  school  children  will  be  treated  free.  A  den- 
tist and  nurse  will  be  in  attendance  for  two 
hours  daily.  The  experiment  will  be  in  charge 
of  Dr.  B.  Merrill  Hopkinson.  It  is  asserted 
that  75  per  cent,  of  absenteeism  of  school  chil- 
dren is  due  to  afifections  of  the  teeth  or  mouth. 
It  was  decided  to  join  the  National  Dental  As- 
sociation. 

The  Xmas  recess  began  December  21,  (>  P.  M., 
and  here's  wishing  all  a  good  time  till  we  meet

Great  interest  has  been  occasioned  by  the  re- 
cent proposal  to  make  Dr.  Fell  Provost  of  the 
University  of  Maryland,  with  more  extensive 
duties  than  have  hitherto  been  vested  in  that 
office.  As  is  well  known,  the  name  of  Dr.  Fell

a  university  head.  It  is  felt  that  a  great  future 
lies  before  the  University  if  only  the  various 
departments  are  properly  co-ordinated  and  har- 
monized under  a  strong  central  executive,  and 
though  St.  John's  will  experience  a  loss  in  its 
local  administration,  it  will  be  benefited  as  a 
component  part  of  the  university  by  the  exten- 
sion of  Dr.  Fell's  activity.

DEPARTMENT  OF  LAW. 

For  the  first  time  in  many  years  the  Law  De- 
partment will  be  represented  in  the  Terra  Mariae 
of  1913.  This  action  is  the  result  of  a  confer- 
ence between  the  Editor-in-Chief  of  the  pub- 
lication and  the  President  of  the  Senior  Law 
Class.  At  a  Class  Meeting,  the  Seniors  unani- 
mously voiced  their  desire  to  have  a  part  in  the 
year  book  of  the  University  and  elected  as  their 
representative  on  the  Board  of  Editors  Mr.  P. 
Claude  Baily,  a  graduate  of  St.  John's  College. 
Mr.  Bailey  is  in  touch  with  the  Board  of  Ed- 
itors and  is  -most  competent  to  look  out  for  the 
welfare  of  his  constituents  in  matters  of  write- 
ups,  etc. 

Manager  E.  Holt  Stevens,  of  the  Varsity 
football  team,  who  is  a  member  of  the  Law  De- 
partment, has  closed  his  season  for  1912.  Mr. 
Stevens  has  worked  his  hardest  to  get  a  repre- 
sentative team  fo'r  our  University,  but  his  best 
efforts  have  met  with  but  feeble  response.  .  He 
deserves  a  great  deal  of  credit  for  what  he  has 
accomplished,  and  while  the  results  of  this  sea- 
son are  not  the  brightest,  nevertheless  it  is  this 
spirit  to  keep  plugging  away  at  a  thing  that  wins 
in  the  end,  and  we  hope  in  a  couple  of  years 
when  our  dormitories  are  a  reality  instead  of  a 
dream,  and  when  we  get  that  necessary  school 
spirit  and  an  athletic  field,  the  good  work  of 
Mr.  Stevens  will  be  remembered  and  those  who 
worked  with  him  will  feel  that  after  all,  theirs 
was  a  part  worth  playing  in  our  athletic  devel- 
opment.

The  results  of  the  season  show  no  games  won, 
but  the  team  never  tackled  the  little  fellows,  but 
played  with  teams  that  were  fit  to  be  met  by 
a  squad  from  the  University  of  Maryland.  ]\Ian- 
ager  Stevens  had  games  with  University  of 
Pittsburgh,  Delaware  College,  Cross  Country 
Club,  Maryland  Agricultural  College,  St.  John's 
and  Rock  Hill.  The  last  two  games  were  can-

"the  senate." 

Numerous  attempts  have  been  made  to  in- 
terest students  of  the  Law  Department  in  some 
sort  of  a  literary  society.  A  few  years  ago  the 
Blackstone  Literary  Society  came  into  being, 
but  after  a  life  of  about  three  years  died  its 
natural,  but  lamented,  death,  owing  to  the  fail- 
ure of  the  men  to  show  up  for  the  meetings. 

A  literarv  society  of  some  sort  if  conducted 
along  the  proper  lines  would  prove  of  great 
benefit  to  the  men  of  the  Law  School.  At  its 
meetings,  besides  an  opportunity  to  meet  one 
another  for  social  intercourse,  the  future  at- 
torneys would  have  the  splendid  opportunity  to 
acquire  some  confidence  in  their  abilities  as 
"speakers."  It  is  not  the  easiest  thing  in  the 
world  for  a  man  to  get  on  his,  feet  and  gather 
his  thoughts  together  in  such  a  fashion  that  he 
is  able  to  impart  to  his  listeners  the  thoughts 
which  he  desires  to  give.  It  takes  practice, 
patience  and  a  study  of  one's  own  faults.  This 
to  a  large  degree  a  literary  society  could  ao 
for  the  men  of  the  Law  School. 
'  It  is  with  great  pleasure  therefore  that  we 
learn  of  the  beginning  of  a  new  venture  along 
these  lines  and  extend  to  it  our  heartiest  and 
best  wishes.  It  cannot  fail  to  accomplish  some 
good  for  somebody,  so  with  that  inevitable  re- 
sult at  least  in  view  its  existence  is  a  benefit  to 
the  school. 

This  new  society  is  called  the  "Senate"  and 
is  patterned  after  the  senior  body  of  the  Con- 
gress oi  the  United  States.     Its  purpose  is  to

discuss,  after  congressional  style,  the  various 
bills  which  come  before  that  body  and  give 
each  man  a  fair  chance  to  express  himself  not 
only  for  the  purpose  of  relieving  his  mind,  but 
also  for  the  purpose  of  limbering  up  his  tongue 
to  at  least  a  movable  condition  before  a  crowd. 

Mr.  Ellis  Levin,  an  Intermediate,  and  Mr. 
Joseph  Fax,  a  Junior,  we  are  infcmed  are  the 
originators  of  the  idea,  and  if  Mr.  Levin  dis- 
courses in  Congress  to  the  same  length  as  he 
did  before  the  Democratic  Club  on  matters  poli- 
tic, industrial,  taxable,  etc.,  there  will  no  doubt 
be  need  for  seme  all  night  sessions. 

The  officers  now  elected  are  as  follows :  Pres- 
ident, Arthur  B.  Connolly ;  Secretary,  Paul 
Schmidt ;  Hon.  President  and  Sergt.-at-Arms, 
Samuel  Want;  Pres.  Pro  Tern,,  J.  Cooley. 

This  coming  Saturday  "The  Senate''  will  dis- 
cuss the  "Wool  Bill."  Mr.  Ellis  Levin,  the 
Senator  from  Nebraska,  will  uphold  the  bill  and 
endeavor  to  show,  in  true  William  Jennings 
Bryan  style,  why  it  should  be  passed.  "Mr.  Har- 
old Grath,  the  Senator  from  Delaware,  will 
clearly  expatiate  en  the  facts  as  to  why  the  bill 
is  wrong,  unconstitutional  and  a  menace  to  the 
American   people.     Perhaps  mnny  more   things. 

All  students  of  the  University  are  invited  to 
attend  the  meetings  and  a  good  time  is  prom- 
ised all  who  accept  the  invitation.  There  are 
no  refreshments  served,  of  course. 

STATE   BAK   EXAMINATION. 

We  take  the  following  from  Mr.  Want's  jour- 
nal.  The  Maryland  Reporter,   for   November: 

"The  Court  of  Appeals  has  frequently  had 
occasion  to  pass  upon  applications  for  permis- 
sicn  to  take  the  bar  examination  that  did  not 
come  or  were  supposed  not  to  come  within  the 
terms  of  the  Rules  governing  the  qualifications 
of  applicants,  and  the  following  rulings  have 
been  made  from  time  to  time : 

"Only  citizens  of  the  United  States  are  enti- 
tled to  take  the  examination  prescribed  for  ap- 
plicants fcr  admission  to  the  bar  of  Maryland. 
An  applicant  who  was  not  bo-n  in  the  L^nited 
States,  and  who  has  received  only  his  first  citi- 
7fnslnn    papers,    is    not    Qualified,    even    though

he  is  in  a  position  to  get  his  final  papers,  and 
has  actually  made  application  for  them. 

"The  applicant  must  be  twent}--one  years  of 
age  at  the  time  of  the  application.  The  fact 
that  he  will  be  twenty-one  before  the  results  of 
the  examination  are  known,  or  that  he  will  not 
apply  for  a  license  to  practise  until  he  reaches 
his  majority,  does  not  take  his  case  out  of  the 
Rule. 

"A  member  of  the  bar  of  another  state  who 
has  not  practiced  therein  for  the  period  pre- 
scribed by  the  Rules  of  the  Court  of  Appeals, 
must  qualify  under  the  rules  governing  appli- 
cants generally. 

"Study  under  the  direction  of  a  correspond- 
ence school  will  not  be  considered,  under  the 
Rule  governing  the  course  and  period  of  study. 

"The  requirement  of  two  years  of  study  in 
a  law  school  of  the  United  States,  or  in  the 
office  of  a  member  of  the  bar  of  this  State,  is 
gratified  where  part  of  the  prescribed  period  is 
spent  in  a  law  school,  and  part  in  a  law  office."

Of  Baltimore  and  New  York.  Eminent  Prac-

and  Author. 

Dr.  Bond  was  born  in  Baltimore  in  February, 
1782,  of  parents  who  settled  in  Rockingham
